48 pitches, he'll be lucky to last 5.

Our outfielders throwing this season has been beyond terrible so far. No one mentioned it, but Timo throwing home in the 9th inning of the first Seattle game was one of the most idiotic things I've seen in a long time. If the runners were paying attention, they both could have advanced an extra base.

Someone tell Contreras he's in the majors because of his splitter, and not his fastball that has no movement at all.  He's now given up 2 hits to batters with 2 strikes because he put a nice 93 mph fastball right down the plate.

 

Guess you missed the first inning when he got ahead of hitters with his fastball than pretty much threw splitters to walk guys after having em 0-2?

I'll be happy if Contreras is still pitching in the 5th inning.

He hasn't thrown a single fastball past a Twins player tonight. Contreras gets about 90 pct of his strikeouts on the splitter.

We are screwed this series, Jose will blow the game and we will have no bullpen for Tuesday. Why can't he pitch like he was supposed to and why do we have to pay $8 million for this s***?

Gotta get Bartlett out here.

 

And he does.

 

We need to score some runs tonight.

For the record, the Yankees are picking up a good portion of the salary if I recall correctly as part of the Loaiza deal.

 

I believe we picked up 3 mil or so in the deal.

False. We're paying Contreras at least 7 million dollars this season. KW took a huge financial risk in trading for him last year.

D.j. just heard from a rumor that maggs is out with a hernia. Lol.

A few more games like this from Dye, I might have to admit that playing Everett in the field is the better option for this team when Frank gets back.

Those Cubs retards will most likely get a pounding before they get to thier cars.

 

Hopefully they are in their cars right now, as security hopefully threw their stupid asses out.

Annoying PR lady on the radio.

 

:sleep

 

I heard enough of her at Soxfest the past few years.

 

Get her off.

Jose is atarting off 0-2 on a lot of guys tonight.

Then moving to 3-2.

HE GAWN!

Pitch count 65

I'm ready to start crying. :headshake

Contreras is living life on the edge tonight.

 

He just needs to give us 5 or maybe 6.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 06:58 PM)
Did any one see the Yankees 2nd inning?

 

Yeah, I was listening on XM before the Sox started.

Signature Joe Crede popup.

Good AB by Crede spoiled by a terrible uppercut swing on a good pitch to hit. Crede's looked better lately, but he really has to level his swing out.

Our offense is absolutely terrible now. One hit through the first 9 batters without a walk is pathetic. We're not even hitting the ball hard at all either.

why cant we hit a guy we usually crush?

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 09:06 PM)
Can we PLEASE string some hits together?

A basehit would work for me.
