HOT DOGS

I dont know why everyone thinks uribe would have made that play Cintron played it perfectly and even a stronger throw wouldnt have got hunter

HOT DOGS

 

That guys voice is annoying. Ugh.

Jd's shoes look kinda funny.

Anyone miss the Miller Light guy?

Hawk and DJ keep talking about how Freddy needs to learn how to pitch at this velocity, and how he used to have some gas and needs to pitch around with this stuff.

 

Can someone tell me outside of an injury, how someone drops 5 or more mph on his fastball and it doesnt raise any warning signs. Freddy doesnt have the control to become Buerhle or Maddux and pitch at 85-87. He goes deep into counts and relies on his stuff to get people out. He uses his fastball to offset his breaking stuff, if his fastball is not there people are going to sit at a speed and get some contact on him.

You are exactly right. Freddy HAS to get his speed back. He can't survive for very much longer without it. People will adjust, and smack his pitches all over the place. I'm SURE Cooper can get it going though.

I think it's Freddy being hard headed to be honest. I think he proved that he can still throw hard in his 2nd start, he's just trying to pitch different right now..why I'm not exactly sure. He'll be fine though. It's not like he's been throwing that hard since he came over from Seattle anyways.

Rob eM with the lead off double.

Whoosh! What a hit by Mack!

He was in the 90s last Sunday too. I also think he's had a tough time warming up and getting loose in this weather for some reason.

What a terrbile, terrible bunt by Cintron.

FSN North has him throwing in the upper 80's/low 90's on his fastball.

Have we had any successful bunts this season? This early in the game, I hate the idea of playing for one run.

not much need to work on bunting

Gooch is so good.

Last night, AJP

GUCH

With no outs, and Cintron being a speedy guy, that was the perfect call. Put pressure on the D early. Now, had Mack been on 1st, it would have been completely different.

 

The Baby just messed up the bunt.

Thank you, Iguchi. I still hate bunting and giving up an out after a leadoff double.

What a fantastic swing by Iguchi. I love to see guys adjust to the changeup with two strikes.

YAY, mlb.tv is finally working for me. I can watch this f***er. w00t

 

GOOOOOOOCH.

Yea, with this lineup, big innings are a possibility everytime the top of the order is rolling around with men on base.

Terrible call. We're hitting Radke left and right, and it's the second inning. Also should note that with a man on second you bunt down the third base line.

Paul Byrd is getting rocked so far this year. 5 runs to the Royals through 2 with no out and a guy on second. We only gave up 1 run to them in 3 games
