Gavin's been real close to giving up a ton of home runs this game.

Markakis nearly golfed that one out.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) and don't forget the atom ball - that dude has hit some ROPES this season Which he is no longer doing. If he was getting unlucky that would be one thing. But his power has disappeared.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) 2-1 after the THIRD double play in 4 innings. This is what happens when you can't hit a pitcher to save your life. You get hits when he's struggling, but he somehow pitches out of trouble.

At least we're on the board.

Here we go.

Rios' slump is really making his numbers look depressing. At least compared to what it was earlier in the year. The hit he just got is the perfect example of what he's been doing since July. He's not hitting the ball with much authority.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) Shouldn't Konerko have gone for the out at home there? Jones is too fast. Plus, if you do that, you'll really be risking it. If he doesn't get Jones out, a big inning would probably result from it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) Simple question: Am I the only one that thinks spending 4 million on Manny would be an absolute waste of money? It depends on whether or not we're still in it in September.

He shouldn't have hit Jones. Gavin is having trouble putting hitters away.

I guess things even themselves out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) Haha, Beckham with the cheapest hit you'll ever see! He needs to thank whoever made that spike mark.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) Not even Matusz? Ok, I take that last statement back. I would like Matusz and Tillman.

Hey, it's the Stealth Elf's wife!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) I'd give up Soxtalk for Matt Wieters. That dude is going to be special. I think a lot of teams would like to have Roberts, Markakis, Wieters, Jones, and Scott. Unfortunately, there's not one pitcher I'd really want from that team.

I've noticed that Carlos has changed his stance around. He's open now and he's a lot lower to the ground. It has resulted in some hits for him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) Why do the O's f***ing suck? I'd donate a testicle for about 40% of their roster. Because the other 60% suck. lol

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) Gotta look at monthly splits but Gavin usually evaporates come September Weak starter and finisher I guess.

Go Rangers, gotta help us out for the next three days.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) Comcast isn't showing his velocity...what's gamecast saying he's throwing? Averaging 92.3 on the fastball. Got out of it.

Nice job there by Paulie. Horrible base running by Jones.

Gavin just hasn't had it in his past three starts.

Manny would definitely put butts in the seats. The revenue from the tickets in the last month can pay the rest of his salary and then some.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) I give up. For a mod to post what he did, to discourage discussion is beyond me. Thanx for your post, chw. I read your take. He's not saying you shouldn't post, he's saying you should put more time into your part of the post instead of just asking questions. And that's a completely valid request.

I say we win 9-3. Finally gonna kill Guthrie.
