southsideirish71 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Is is just me or does Santana give the sox the biggest fits out of all the teams he faces? It's almost a no hitter for this f*** everytime against us. We have free swinging hitters with low OBP and high strikeout rates. Our long looping swings foul off pitches that should be hit into play, and completely miss the good pitches. We also dont shorten our swings up with 2 strikes at all no matter who we face. This is why crappy pitchers put up 5+ ks against this team. Its a formula for a no hitter. I am actually surprised he hasnt no hit us yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Alright, El Duque, one more good pitch. 1-2 count... HE GOT HIM! Nice, Orlando... Edited September 17, 2005 by CWSGuy406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayitaintso Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) I won't take you up on that bet. In fact I might even counter your statement by saying we get no-hit through 8. The offensive display as been consistently inconsistent and for the most part pathetic Or corpseball as it has been called here as of late. And a Big K for El Duque to get out of the jam.

S720 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Ever since Santana became incredible during the 2nd half of the year last season, he's just dominated us. And Santana is supposed to have a blister on his finger(s)! Man, the Twins are trying to kick the Sox out of the postseason. Well, let's see if they succeed, or we have the last laugh.

jphat007 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Our right handers have a real tough time with offspeed stuff, which really makes us a bad matchup for Santana, who is already a bad matchup for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
