Pods OBP now down to .340 after an 0 for 3 so far..

Contreras becoming unraveled here...c'mon Jose...get it together.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Why does Pods play Kearns 3 feet from the warning track? Pods would play Rafeal Belliard that deep. Its how he compensates for his s***ty defense..doesnt let anything get behind him, and uses his speed to make what would be normal plays into looking like diving catches.

We really need this game today, knowing that Garland is pitching BP tomorrow in a hitters park, with a sunday lineup no doubt...

When you make that play in the field, then leadoff the next inning....well we know what happens. 1-1

Go Pablo go!!

Kinda laughed at Hawk tonight on one of his stories.. "If the pitcher had 4 pitches, and was getting them over, I had no chance. If he had 3 pitches he could get over, I still didn't have much of a chance. About the only time I had a chance is if the guy was a 2 pitch pitcher, and couldn't get one over."

This game worries me with respect to COntreras for some reason..I don't get a good vibe tonight.

Not a bad lineup for an NL game...Pods and Ozuna look good at 1 and 2 when they are both on. Gooch needs a break from the lefties

Eh...you guys can stop before you even get started with the personal insults, questioning each others intellect. Thats something we DON'T deal with kindly.

After 1st Inning Freddie struck, its actually been a pretty solid outing for him. 8 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 6 Ks

Rick White sighting!!

Its got nothing to do with attacking people, not sure why you think by us supporting our thoughtful retorts with factual statistics is 'attacking you'. Its a fact, Garcia has been pretty s***ty since he 'reinvented' himself. If you wanna be a control pitcher, guess what..you can't give up 16 HRs in 85 IP....thats not 'control' And most of us aren't bandwagon fans...check how long most of us have been here...we talk about the slumps of our guys...because we keep up with things, and we WANT them to do better and be successful. Go read about how much I dislike Pods right now. Guess what? I'm thrilled that hes had a really good game today!! I want nothing else, than for him to hit 300, steal 50-60 bags, and be in that 1st position in the order EVERYDAY. But that won't stop me from criticizing him when he is badly slumping.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) i know what the stats were, and again, does that subtract the 7 wins? what exactly are you trying to say? not to mention they happened with all the pitchers were struggling which could have been to little run support from the offensive struggle... i've seen pitchers take a 1-2 loss cause we could only score 1 run...it's not the pitcher EVERY time Hmm...the 3 games that Garcia lost in his last 4 starts...he gave up 5 ER, 5 ER, 8 ER respectively...how much "Offense" do we need to provide to overcome his s*** pitching?

I really like Uribes' drop to a knee on the swing followthrough

Aurilla rocks

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) Where does Ed Farmer go when Singleton does the play-by-play all by himself? Chris just did the whole inning by himself with nothing from Farmio. Goes to help get Freddies bong hit prepared I think

HMm...and now Garcia gets a hit...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) Freddy pitching with some serious smoke and mirrors. May need to change his nickname to that now Ole Smoke and Mirrors

Cora.................... JOEY.................... C'mon man...

Pods actually looks pretty good tonight....wtf is going on here in Cincy.

Good lord, Claussen DOES suck

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) SS is hunting rattlesnakes on his throw home to try and get Pods. He was in there anyway. Haha, well done DA...that was the definitive dribbler throw there.

I Konerko

On 3-1 counts, even PODS finds a way to get a hit sometimes.
