April 8, 200322 yr Author Do you guys like my PBP better when I do it pitch-by-pitch, or do you like it better the way I did it before, where I would just post what happened in the AB? Such as "Thomas draws a walk" vs. "Thomas....ball, ball, strike, ball, foul, walk". Let me know, and that's the way I'll do it..... Top 4 - Magglio (1-1; single).....ball, groundout to 3rd 1 out - Konerko (0-1).....ball, strike, foul, ball, ball, flyout to RF 2 out - Lee (0-1).....ball, foul, ball, foul, ball, strikeout swinging 1-2-3 go the Sox for the 2nd time, and through 3 1/2, we're down 1-0
April 8, 200322 yr Caballo ripped one but it was foul. He flew open on two change ups and both pitches were right down the tube waiting to get crushed. Rodriguez is a little over 70 pitches right now I think.
April 8, 200322 yr CLEE is up..........lets consider this inning over eventhough paulie flew out to RF he was looking to pull everything and got overmatched on his fly out...lee got two hanging curveballs this at bat and pulled both of them well foul before striking out these guys arnt going to contribute much until they change their approach with a guy like magglio and his success you would think his approach of right center field would rub off on these guys

April 8, 200322 yr I'm not a CLee backer by any means, but it sure seems like he's having a lot of what baseball wags call "good at-bats." Usually, things turn around for guys who work deep into counts consistently, and make pitchers throw a bunch of pitches. Unless, of course, they suck, which CLee very well may do...
April 8, 200322 yr Whatever the case may be.........if our 4/5 hitters put up goose eggs on a regualr basis......were forked.
April 8, 200322 yr In 20 AB's, CLee has 2 hits and 10 strikeouts. 50% strikeout ratio, thats pretty impressive.

Usually, things turn around for guys who work deep into counts consistently, and make pitchers throw a bunch of pitches. Unless, of course, they suck, which CLee very well may do... Agreed, he'll probably get into a decent stretch very soon. Working the pitcher for 13 pitches in only 2 at bats is a positive(so far). Especially when the pitcher in this case Rodriguez, is doing so well. But to stay in the starting lineup he'll have to start hitting or we could be seeing Daubach more and more often.
April 8, 200322 yr Could it be that Carlos is just not that good???? I mean we put all this faith in Caballo.......but could it be he's just not as talented as we all think?
April 8, 200322 yr Author Bottom 4 - Garcia.....ball, ball, groundout to 1st 1 out - Bard.....ball, ball, foul, ball, walk 1 out, runner on 1st - Hafner.....ball, ball, strike looking, strike swinging, foul, foul, ball, strikeout swinging (#3 on the day for Colon) 2 out, runner on 1st - Blake.....strike looking, ball, flyout to RF 0 runs, 0 hits, 1 walk, 1 strikeout, 1 left Through 4, the Sox are being shutout and trail it by 1

I was thinking they were changeups he left up, but they very well could of been hanging curveballs. I agree with you either way. That is like teaball, he should be crushing those.
April 8, 200322 yr In 20 AB's, CLee has 2 hits and 10 strikeouts. 50% strikeout ratio, thats pretty impressive. he only has 10 k's???. seems like he is striking out everytime i see him bat
April 8, 200322 yr Murc....Carlos has amazing bat speed and now he has patience. The stuff is their for him to do it, the question is whether he will. The big thing that will stop him is the mental approach. If he goes at it right, he will be very successful and I see him on the brink of figuring that all out. He missed the hangars, but he had another good atbat and him whacking the hangers will straighten out. As long as he keeps seeing a lot of pitches he'll be all right.
April 8, 200322 yr Crede with a ducksnort on an 0-2 pitch, me likey. Rowand is up now. I wonder if JM is going to be bunting Crede over?
April 8, 200322 yr Sweet Bunt...Rowand drops it down and the pitcher throws and gets him out at first (Almost lucked out as it looked like Rodriguez had some trouble picking it up). Crede on 2nd now with Alomar up.
April 8, 200322 yr nice leadoff at bat by crede...flips an 0-2 pitch that he got fooled on over omar's head for a leadoff single..rowand excutes the bunt...runner on 2nd , one out..cmon sandy!! crede is gonna be a stud guy
April 8, 200322 yr Yesss, fair ball down the left field line and the ball game is tied at 1. Alomar is on 2nd now with one out and Jimenez at the plate. Nice hit Sandy
