QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) I'm not saying he has had a good chance this year but he had an entire year in 2006 and several months in 2007 and couldnt get in done. I hope more than anyone that BA can turn it around. I'm just saying that some people here are quick to defend him and quick to jump on others. This is possibly the most over-argued point of all time, so I have nothing to offer here that hasn't been said already several hundred times by thousands of different people.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:42 PM) also. i am a fan of BA but for how quickly this board turns on certain players it is amazing how much slack Anderson gets on this board for basically failing at the plate ever time he has a chance. What are you talking about... he's had 2 ABs all year, there isn't even any slack to give him

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) Not good BA, not good at all... He looked like he was trying too hard to go after the ball there and ended up thinking himself out of the AB.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:37 PM) BA with a second chance tonight...LOL I didn't think he would get another AB tonight. lawl.

This is just complete rape... MLB doesn't have a slaughter rule

Crede 4-5 on the night with 3 RBI. Nice.

Holy s*** that looked like it was leaving the park. Quentin is going to be an offensive machine, any reservations I had about him not having proved anything at the MLB level are gone now.

Miggy makes up for robbing Anderson by letting PK get a free trip to first.

Yeah he got under that one by like half a millimeter. The crack of the bat there was LOUD.

QUOTE(BurlyMan56 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) Is it too early to be giddy at this point in the season? I asked this around May-June in 2005. I'd say... just let the season ride out and see where it goes. Come summertime we'll know what this team's about.

Clete Thomas really helped MacDougal out on that strikeout.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:21 PM) No they won't, don't kid yourself. He won't get another AB til next Tuesday. Purely hypothetically speaking.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Swing looks a s***load better. Man is that a better looking swing. He still looks a tad long but this appears to be a workable major league swing (especially with the tools he has....speed, power ability, defense, etc). That said, there really isn't anything wrong with him spending some time in AAA further honing the swing and his approach. Robbed by Cabrera. Yeah... that was a couple inches from being a double down the left field line. Good AB from Anderson, even with a 2-strike count (where he used to panic) if they all look like that the hits will come.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) it's sad that i even run it past my mind that AJ might hate him for some reason and not catch it on purpose. i'm aware that's pretty pathetic of me but hey it's AJ. This ump's been doing a pretty good job. If there was any game AJ would do that intentionally it'd be that first Indians game. And yes, AJ would totally do it too.

Ouch... that's just some bad luck right there. Mask or no mask that s*** hurts.

The DPs Buehrle keeps inducing is just plain comical now.

Wow what a perfect bunt.

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) I feel like Joe Morgan is really wishing detroit doesn't suck so much. At least they spent a good 2-3 minutes talking about how underrated Mark Buehrle was.

I'd guess Buehrle can go one more inning.

Buehrle looks tired.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) I forgot I had paused it on Tivo to get something to drink. You guys talking about the outs and all and I am wondering how you can predict the future!

So, with such a big lead, do we let MacDougal pitch?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) O.C., I command thee to start being clutch now! I was about to type "a soft liner to the outfield would do so much to redeem him right now in my eyes" and as I turn my head I see him do exactly that and pick up 3 RBI... haha

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) Open the game up Juanny. Oh, he just missed a slam by a few feet.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) True, he has made a couple nice plays, I guess we just tend to remember the ones that aren't made, or don't look exactly 'easy' for a shortstop. I'm not overly concerned about Cabrera YET, I think he'll be fine. I think Cabrera will be fine as well, but I think most of us would agree that overall he's been disappointing this past week. He's not looked like a Gold Glover out there, and he just looks lost at the plate right now. Maybe he needs a day off to get it together?
