I didn't notice until Wimpy did, his foot slid into 1B. Great hustle. Please stop sliding into first though.

Kellogg sure f***ed us hard that inning. Anything he catches is a strike, apparently.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Does anyone realistically expect this to continue when we're NOT playing a Twins' team without Mauer and Willingham/Dozier struggling a bit? They have been pretty bad. Errors too. I couldn't believe the Twins were favored in yesterday's game.

Beckham looked like he missed that ball by a foot.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) My conversation with Stone. Me: "How's it going?" Stone: "I don't know how you're doing, but I'm doing well." Wasn't sure what to think of it. Hawk has always been awesome in person. That's amazing. What a strange response. I would have been stunned. Did he think you were drunk or something? Where was this at? Wimpy just seems like he would get along with anyone.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) Do you honestly think glasses have magically turned Tyler into an MLB-caliber hitter? The dude had what must surely have been one of the worst 100-125 or so PA in White Sox history, he was always bound to put a little run together, it's just coincided with him beginning to wear glasses I think I still agree, but I guess we have till the end of the season at this point to make a determination. I was the biggest Flowers "hater" 2 weeks ago, but now I'm not sure what to think. Lol Those 2 balls he hit tonight did not look like flukes. He absolutely crushed that home run. If that ball was hit by Abreu and Hawk was announcing, he would have talked about it for 2 straight innings. Watch the zoomed out replay. I couldn't believe it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) HE'S GREAT LOL You should have changed the quote to read "He's not just good."

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) Came to post same thing. I love how much FUN he has. Exactly, he's really not that great of an announcer in the typical sense, doesn't have the voice (lol) etc. But he really enjoys it, laughs, and just has a good time and good conversation. Makes it fun.

Maybe it's because we're playing well, or childhood nostalgia, or cause I haven't listened to him announce in a while, but is Wimpy a joy to listen to or what?

Is that a line drive HR in Comiskey?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) They gave him a hit for that. What a bunch of bs I think you kinda have to give him a hit, but De Aza has to dive there.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 08:17 PM) Seeing Dunn go station to station is exactly why you don't have him bunt. You are still not correct, but I thought you were dunn with this?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 04:34 PM) So you are under the impression he's so dumb he puts Beckham there without knowing any better? I see that you responded to my post, but did not answer my question.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) Out of town this week, so haven't been able to watch much. However, Beckham batting 2nd (one of the worst hitters in baseball over the last month or so) in front of Abreu is just crazy. It's insane. For those that think Robin has any clue whatsoever, how do you justify this? Having him in the lineup is bad enough, but batting him 2nd is just ludicrous. Trade him for a mule.....and shoot the mule.

Anybody else feel sick to their stomach when you hear Beckham's walk-up music?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) I'm done with this, it's silly. Again, I agree.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) When you have Dunns power you don't bunt.....Plus he's slow so it's probably gonna take 2 hits to get him in anyway. Saying he should bunt is absolutely ridiculous. You must also agree with my idea of simply fouling off any potential ball 4 then too, right? When you have Dunn's power, taking a walk is absolutely ridiculous.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) The other day, Colby Rasmus actually did this and was safe. For some reason, Colby Lewis, who was pitching, got really pissed. It was 2-0 Toronto in the 5th, so Lewis didn't really have a reason to be mad. This made espn.com as a story I think. I immediately thought of Dunn.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) He should have bunted though! there was literally no one on the left side! LOL gimme a break. He should now start to foul off any ball that's not going to be a strike in a 3-ball count so he can hit more dingers!!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) GameDay says the 0-1 to Conor was a 71 MPH eephus? Yeah, looked like a very slow curveball that Conor went around on, but the 3B ump said he didn't. Viciedo is really a stupid baseball player. Has some talent, but I don't think he'll ever be good. Way too dummm

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) There were no baseball players on the left side of the infield for Dunn's at bat. You just have to bunt in that situation. It's just insane that players don't plop bunts down against these shifts. Not one player on the left side. Embarrassing for Dunn. I could not agree more. Even if you are terrible at bunting, with very little practice you will be able to bunt it ANYWHERE to the left side. Then they will at least have to put 1 guy on that side. It's a sure base hit. I don't know how anyone could disagree. It would be like arguing against taking ball 4.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) WTF are you doing Alexei? Who cares if the runner is on 3rd with 2 outs? He was already going back to the base. Horrible brain fart.

Bring on Downs!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) I hate listening to this Royals crew. Hudler truly is a dunce. Did you hear the back and forth when they were showing a bunch of Christmas in July footage? Dude was making fun of Hudler relentlessly, then got his when he called a person with a beard Mrs. Clause. Lol

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Sorry, but pet peeve time. It is only a beanball if it hits the player in the head. Huh, I did not know that. I thought if you "beaned" somebody, you hit them anywhere. I stand corrected. Thanks.
