I remeber that great Colon game ont he 4th of July where Koch gave up the bomb to Crawford. Uh. LEt's erase those types of memories by taking care of business. As bad as Nomo-san is, we haven't had a lot of guys see him too much so hopefully we do take a good approach

 

who is this "Koch"?

Why is Rowand hacking at the first pitch on Nomo?

That was freaking horrible Rowand.

 

Damn was that terrible to watch.

Crap

The 0-2 pitch wasn't a strike.

Horrific AB by Rowand there. Big opportunity blown there by Everett and Rowand.

That wasted inning is all on Everett.

Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!!

 

Bottom of the third, 2-0 Sox.

Hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

Completely blow after getting the first two hitters on.

I don't know if I necessarily like the bunt in that situation.

 

But I didn't say it before the fact, so I'm not gonna b**** about it now.

Everett has got to stop swinging at every single pitch. He's getting himself in a poor hitter's count almost every time up now. It's ironic that he took a called 3rd, I guess.

Yeah, I can't wait to have Thomas back. It's looking more and more like it won't be too hard to put CE on the bench.

Iguchi putting them on 2nd and 3rd 1 out for the middle of the order, I just can't complain about that.

 

Everett and to a lesser extent Rowand have to pick the runners up.

Yeah, but neither Carl nor Paully are swinging an especially hot bat right now to where you're 90-100% sure he'll get the job done.

 

But one should be able to trust the middle of his lineup to get a flyball.

Leadoff single for Hall.

Seems like we gave Tampa some momentum now. Garcia needs to keep his pitches down.

I thought it when it happened. He's our best hitter - and he's bunting??

 

btw - orioles just scored - they lead the twins 2-0.

It was the right call. You bunt to move over the runners and avoid the DP.

It was clearly the right call to have Iguchi bunt. If your 3-4 hitters can't get the guy in from 3rd, that's their fault. Iguchi hits a lot of grounders, so he's a threat to hit into a DP in that situation.

DP!!!

 

Cantu has grounded into 7 DP's this season. :puke

is frank hitting live pitching yet?

 

When will he be going to Charlotte?

Yet neither Everett nor PK are swinging the bat very well right now. I'd rather have Iguchi swinging, but like I said, I didn't say anything about it before the fact, so my b****ing is useless now.

 

Rack 'em up.

DP!!!

 

Good pitch by Garcia there to get the DP. Good try by Iguchi there.

Rack 'em up, very stylish from Gooch and Juan.
