Javier's ERA now 3.93 after 6IP today. Buerhle's the only one in our rotation with an ERA higher than 4. Something to look at, for a silver lining. we need some real offense though, this sux

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 03:33 PM) how is the Hawk spinning this one? he's pretty much avoiding the issue 1-2-3 for javy. What a gem, and to get the loss. ALA Sabathia yesterday, sickening.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) Aj continues to show no knowledge of the strike zone I wonder what kind of average you have to be hitting for to drop a .498 BA to .313, in about 2.5 weeks worth of at bats.

we're not winning today, paulie shouldn't have made that comment yesterday.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) Take it easy, man. your post was about as necessary as mine was.

Check out the drunk dipsh*t in the stands taking his shirt off and starting trouble.

LOL GIDP. F*** you OC.

SWISH, thanks for not swinging at that garbage. Not saying he has been, but he's definitely been taking way too many good pitches to hit today, good job nick. OC needs to do something here other than a GIDP.

1-2-3 of the order coming up, so... we're lucky if it goes something like Swish K's looking, Cabrera grounds out weakly to short, and Thome gets a walk. Which would follow the 2-out baserunner pattern this team has seen all year long

BA in the catbird seat, 3-0 count. edit: BA walks. Bases juiced for the kid with the extra-long swing, that's going to end the inning. edit 2: I called that one.

carlos = stud!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) How'd Dotel look? slider wasn't moving much, but he got a flyout (first pitch swinging), and a strike out with primarily fastballs with late movement on them, he looked pretty good

Sox win today, 6-1 Quentin 2-2, 1 BB, 1 HBP .288avg .435obp .562slg (.996ops) i want him hitting 3rd

nice throw by OC, he had as much mustard on that throw as he's had all year on anything that I've seen

first pitch fly out to swisher, it was a slider that didn't move hardly at all, it was just flat

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) I'm not saying that ALL his hbps have to do with his stance. Everyone gets hit once in a while. I'm saying the fact that he's going to lead the league in HBPs DOES have to do with his stance. i was only talking about today and yesterday's games, those balls sailed right into him wildly i'll agree that his stance has to do with it partially, as well as his decision to take a HBP to get on base vs diving out of the way

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) Craig Biggio - one hbp per 43.8 plate apperances, career Carlos Quentin - one hbp per 22.7 plate apperances, mlb career. Plus he led the minors in hbp for two years in a row. I'm sure his stance (elbow close to the plate, gigantic back turned towards pitcher) has NOTHING to do with it. tonight, it didn't. are you watching the game? it has more to do with his decision to not drop to the ground or try to avoid a ball sailing towards him than anything to do with his stance or his back turned towards the pitcher.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:35 PM) CQ is such a magnet, plus he has a close stance. the pitches he's been hit by aren't even close to being over the plate, they're right into the middle of his back, nothing to do with his stance or how close he stands to the plate (which isn't all that close, really) they were just wild pitches that sail right into him

19 RBI's for Carlos, his last two were HBP's with the bases juiced. Meanwhile, his OBP is just climbing to astronomical levels, and he's now hitting .288

aj, cant you take a slider instead of swinging at every one of them? sheesh..

he's gonna come back inside AJ

OC steals 3rd, i like the fire this team seems to have today, that win last night couldn't have been bigger for this team bases juiced for AJ, i'd rather see Quentin up in this situation, maybe we will though

let's tack on a couple more runs please
