Has Tejada finally gotten that wicked slider of his working? He could throw 7 innings of 2 run ball for us right?

 

I'm actually of the opinion that with what's on the market, the best way to improve our pitching might just be going for the juggular on offense. I know it won't happen though, so the Tejada comment was just a shot at the trade winds phenomenon.

Maybe that the adjustment that Coop and company thought would make Vazquez have a good second half, use the slider more and more with RHs on 2 strikes. It is such a nasty pitch.

 

 

The Operaman hotdog vendor is so stupid.

He'll hit one next AB now.

hahaha sorry. next time, ill just ask that type of question after the game.

So..

We're done with Pods and Uribe.

Anyone else?

 

Garcia, Widger, Gload

Thome just missed that

Hawk and DJ starting to scare me.

Nice little Duck Snort there.

Nice little blooper Jermaine.

Crazy swing there and almost nailed it.

Almost Uribesque.

Javy is working faster??

 

That 2-2 pitch was hung...stop that.

Very nice Javy. Lets get a few more here.

Good inning Javy. Give us a few more of those. In fact, the whole year would be nice.

His curve this year has been his biggest problem. He isnt getting on top of the pitch and he leaves it hanging. At least he is throwing more sliders on 2 strikes, than his curve. When he is ontop of it, it bites down and is a good K pitch. When he leaves it up, it gets hit hard.

When Javy gets ahead ..... throws a first strike ....... his large array of pitches and movement seems to be too much to handle.

I just noticed the Rally Chinstrap.

Vazquez has been hurt on his curve to righties this year, and his slider to lefties. All year, I've been wondering why he doesn't stick to fastball/curve/change against lefties, and fastball/slider vs righties.

Strong, impressive commentary by Hawk during this AB.

Jenks the MVP of the team? I don't think so Hawk.

That and the fact that Crede owns Bonderman for his career. Outside of this at bat.

WHERE IS BA?

With how crappy our starters/relievers have been at times this year, I'm not so sure he's not correct.

You can definitely make an argument for Bobby, along with about 4 others.

Not much to show for it, but we've had a couple of really good at bats against Bonderman tonight, guys just fouling off pitch after pitch.
