QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) There are three players in major league history with 400 HR and 300 SB. Dawson is one of them. Nitpicking stats like that doesn't hide the fact that he wasn't a great hitter. You only do things like these when you try to make a case for some guy who really isn't that good.

Bad road trip.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) I can't say for certain, but I doubt Luke Scott is any better in RF either. And Scott does play at Camden Yards which is a band box in it's own right. However, I like Scott and think he is a good natural hitter who would fit in good, and he can't be any worse than Quentin in RF (and we know he doesn't need to play the field to hit if we move him to DH). Brad Hawpe has had a history of horribleness in the outfield. Scott has never come close to his level of badness.

Passan says Trout is not PTBNL. Really, if that's the deal the D'Backs got, how the hell couldn't the Sox top that. Hudson projects to be about as good as Saunders this year, which is very mediocre.

If Trout is in that deal, then I say the Diamondbacks did well. Still. Joe Saunders?

I really can't believe that there's people that believe Ozzie made the right decision by not wanting Thome. REALLY?

Holy crap. All it took to get Haren was Joe freaking Saunders? Laughable.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Twins don't have better pitching than us, starters or BP, even without Peavy, IMO, so I still believe we are the favorites. Their O could be much better but we're slowly turning the corner there despite our joke of a situation at DH But their offense is way better.

Carlos continuing to foul cookies.

Rios has become a singles hitting machine.

Hudson's gotta go at least 5 innings today.

Inside corner is getting calls, start throwing it in there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) FREE RAMON CASTRO! I don't see the need to call for so many fastballs when his change-up has easily been his best pitch.

Absolutely terrible pitch selection this inning.

Wow, we're lucky that ball bounced right back to A.J.

Why aren't they throwing the change on 0-2 counts?

Damn it.

That ball was about a inch too high.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) Isn't one of Huddy's strengths to throw strikes? Seems as if he either has nerves or is trying to nibble too much to me. I didn't see his start in Seattle, however. It's not rare for young pitchers to be a bit afraid of the bat when coming to the big leagues I guess...so let's see He's supposed to have good control.

Hudson could have had Ellis picked off.

Nice catch by Alexei.

Should have thrown Watson a change-up there.

Umpire isn't calling the high strike. Hudson's thrown two of those to Ellis. Both balls.

Come on Dayan, take that walk. Edit: Damn.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) He throws a lot like Peavy. I haven't seen an analysis of Hudson's throwing motion yet, but it doesn't look good from just watching him pitch. Peavy's motion is a lot more violent.
