QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) I agree Boesch isn't going to hit .340 but the guy is for real in my opinion. We're going on 240 ABs here and he really hasn't had any prolonged slumps. The ball jumps off his bat and he's going to be surrounded by some pretty solid hitters. I expect his BA to fade a bit, but not so much his power numbers. Boesch hits a lot of fly balls and ground balls, not so many line drives. His batted ball slash is 16.5/40/40, or something close to that. The fact that he has a .390 BABIP while hitting 80% of his hits in the air or on the ground doesn't make much sense. You're not going to get away with that much luck. He won't hit .340, but I don't even know if he's going to hit .300.

Nice going T-Pain.

The inning probably should have been over already. I don't know why they were playing so deep for freaking Jason Kendall.

DP! Phew.

Wow, this sucks.

I fear Pena facing Guillen.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) I dont know if Id call Jackson a fluke, I think his avg will dip some but he didnt come out of no where like Boesch has. You should see his .420 BABIP.

Tony Pena in.

That's going to be it for him.

Bad, bad news.

Hudson's getting killed.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) I dont know if I buy that the Twins are the team to beat. Their pitching is absolutely tanking lately. It'll be nice to actually get into first place. I think it'll be good for the team, keeping confidence up while on the break. Detroit has even worse pitching and they have two flukes waiting to tank in Boesch and Jackson.

Even though Carlos is killing the ball, he's still missing some pitches he should be hitting really hard.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) When was the last time we were rooting for the Twins to win? I'm not going to root for them. They're going to be the better team in the long run than the Tigers. But if they win, good, cause we'll be in first. I'd rather have long term gratification than short term though.

Aviles just airmailed that one.

Juan Pierre might be too fascinated with stolen bases and infield base hits.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Stealing on a 3-0 is just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You're one pitch away from a walk and he's most likely getting a FB. It's a terrible, terrible idea.

Why the hell would you run when the count is 3-0?

Imagine how many SBs Pierre would have if he actually gets on base at a .350-.360 clip.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) So, why is Jose Guillem even playing? It's obvious he's hurt. This is KC we're talking about, they're not very logical. Juan is on.

Ah, Garland with back to back shutouts back in 05. I remember that very well.

It would be weird if he didn't go in as a Indian.

He needs to throw that change up more often.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Dude gives up a lot of fly-balls. He didn't do this in the minors.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Probably should have had a red... They've all been actual fouls, but this is getting a bit ridiculous.
