Heads22

¿Double play, por favor?

LOL, Crede with 20 RBI this year with the bases loaded.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) I'm scared everytime a ball is hit to center. BA can't get back soon enough. And RISKE is looking like a very solid pickup. Indeedy.

Good thing we used Brandon for more than one inning, saving our pen.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Heads, not to sound gay, but I love you. I never thought the Rally Crede could contend with the curse of the 9-game winning streak. You were a believer. It's OK. Welcome to the church of the Rally Crede.

There's absolutely no reason that you cannot love Joe Crede.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) Awesome. I swear, our team always hits a team's pen harder than a starter. It's like we tend to have a new mindset against a new pitcher. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) Sorry, I'm just used to AJ hitting there. The neat thing is, I don't want anyone else up here. Dear God, I love you.

:uhoh JOE CREDE

I have to go with them again. Use them, JC.

That 1-1 pitch should be sitting on the Ryan.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) Also, why is Iguchi starting against a LHP last night, and Cintron plays vs the RHP? Same goes for AJP/Widger. Ozzie must have heard my podcast that I hate lefty/righty matchups all the time. Unfortunately, I was discussing the pen. Use them, JD.

Paul has sucked today. Use them Paul.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) There is a difference with all of our pitcher when AJ starts behind the plate, or when widger does. There is a huge difference in the pitch calling. Our pitchers nibble like hamsters when Widger is behind the dish. Widger's gone after this year. I'm hoping we call Stewart up in October, especially if we're comfortably in the playoffs, to see how he handles the staff.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) He couldn't get his breaking-stuff over at all. I noticed that his fastball rarely hit 90 MPH. Of course, you never know with these inaccurate speed guns. That certainly didn't help him either. His sinker was crap, even if he did get two double play balls.

Cliffy can do a standing backflip. That's pretty athletic.

I thought Jon was turning the corner after his last start.....he still wasn't pitching inside as much as I would have liked but he was staying in the zone. When you're a Houston batter and you know he's not going to throw first pitch strike and he's going to nibble the corners the ENTIRE at bat, he's Danny Wright. And going with what I just said about Jon, I've been loving Riske for the sole fact that he's pounding the zone.

If we want to win this game......the next inning has to be Bucholz' last.

Do it, you two.

Widge, do this thing.

That changeup is a heck of a pitch when he actually sets it up.

That's why we need BA in CF.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) Did anyone at the game see where this ball landed exactly. They never showed it land on TV, so it was impossible to really gage just how far that thing traveled. It was a friggin BLAST though.

I want to know how far Thome's foul blast was. Looked like an easy 450, at least.
