He's really bad. That's all. I'm sure he's a great guy, but if you let his few moments of 'clutchness' distort your view of him go ahead.

 

Oh I don't. Hes a bad everyday player. I'll be the first to say it. But he gets teh job done in the big spots. I think every team needs a guy like that on the bench. That's all.

Watchin him on those high fastballs obviously he's got to work on that quite a bit, with his swings. A very good AB that was though.

ill say this....there is something to be said about a hitter who can take ugly swings at good pitches and foul them off waiting for the right pitch. anderson still didnt find that right pitch tonight, but id rather see an ugly swing that fouls the ball off like he did tonight than and ugly swing and miss (ie uribe)

Seriously, da Chort.  The bummer here is that people only see the 4 or 5 clutch hits but totally ignore the 73% of the time he fails to get on base.

 

I hate Timo more than anyone, but if he contributes to the team, we should be happy.

Wow, Radke hasn't walked a White Stocking since August of 2002, before that Uribe walk. And Uribe scored.

did Timo get hurt?

Good Marte is getting that call low on the outside corner. That's always a good sign.

Holy crap. That's unreal.

I am happy.

 

I'm happy he got the hit. I'm happy we're winning.

 

I'm not happy, however, that this hit will mean another few days of him leading off. That's why it's bittersweet.

Anyone else think that was gone off of Morneau's bat?

Even more amazing, Uribe didn't swing the bat once in that entire AB.

did Timo get hurt?

I think Ozzie is tending to him personally.

did Timo get hurt?

 

No, but he's poop on defense. Compared to Anderson.

 

Compared to anyone with two legs, actually.

I am happy.

He had a double already tonight. If Ozzie is going to play him when he's like 5 for his last 40, he's going to play him no matter what.

Anyone else think that was gone off of Morneau's bat?

 

I thought it was a double. Just payback for Aarons the inning before though.

Anderson being able to play in any OF spot is really gonna help us down the stretch if he can produce with the bat.

i hate that one handed catch he does. ill say this right now, there may not be an OF out there that has stronger arms than the one out there now. even if rowands arm is only average-slightly above average

Good Marte is getting that call low on the outside corner. That's always a good sign.

 

Yep, that's always the key for him. He got away with a massive hanger to Mauer, and then aced him. How many times this AB will Hawk call LeCroy "country-strong"?

I hate Timo more than anyone, but if he contributes to the team, we should be happy.

See with anyone else I'd be happy.

 

Kelly Dransfeldt = Cheat Happy

Pedro Lopez = Cheat Happy

Jamie Burke = Cheat Happy

 

I knew those guys weren't going to get extended playing time because of their few clutch hits. Timo will leadoff until Podsednik is back now.

2 people face Marte and none of them reach. It's been a while.

Anderson being able to play in any OF spot is really gonna help us down the stretch if he can produce with the bat.

"WHERE'S HE GONNA PLAY?"

I thought it was a double. Just payback for Aarons the inning before though.

Speaking of which, BA would have had an RBI if Rowand's liner didn't go right to the fielder.

Is Anderson's arm really that good? I still laugh about the Angels outfield for a few games last year with Vlad, Guillen, and Mondesi. The Braves have a great throwing outfield, as Francouer has an absolute rifle.

The crowd is loud tonight! Its nice they gave it up for Andersons first hit. I'm sure the kid loved it!

What was his knock in Charlotte? Too many Ks?

Holy crap. That's unreal.

Something like 365 at bats against us inbetween walks.
