He got him to pop it up. Ozzie did the job. Cotts did the job. I don't think any pitcher is good enough to direct where weak little pop ups go to.

Guys who have been as hot as Morneau have been get hits like that. Frank Thomas probably has at least 10 extra points on his career batting average with little dinks that fell within 2 feet of the RF line. Don't pitch to the hottest hitter in baseball and let him beat you.

Im sorry, but its really time to start booing.

Just reminding you of last year. Thought I remember seeing you say it wouldn't happen again. It isn't worth coming much anymore really. That's why all of the really good posters don't come to the game threads anymore. It's just a big whine fest from 5-year olds.

 

 

what defines a really good poster??? the ones who keep drinking the koolaid until its too late?

Really good posters = optimistic posters that agree with what you say?

No, many of them were not very optimistic at all. They just didn't whine every 3 seconds when something went wrong like a 5-year old.

It's not really even close. He's on an amazing stretch. Name someone who's been better? He's an RBI machine.

 

Last 7 games:

.273 average, 1 HR, 3 RBIs, OPS of .792.

 

If he is the best player is baseball now, the game is in trouble.

Sorry we miss you in the gamethreads giving us such wisdom like Buerhle is better than Santana.

It's no use my friend. No use at all. They see only what they want to.

One, I never said it like that. Nice try. I said he was better up to that point in the year, which he was. That's all you've got?

 

Two, how's Bobby Jenks doing this year?

And how about before the last 7 games? He has about 21 homers and 70 RBI in his last 260+ ABs.

this offense is in a really slump since the 12 run game...

cry me a river.

 

Hey, doesn't matter to me. I said I feel sorry for them and the mods/owners/etc.

May I add Pods is a better leadoff hitter than Sizemore, and Garcia means to throw a high curve?

 

We're polar opposites though, so I'm not arguing anymore with you tonight.

Or the guy who hit .364 in June, .410 in July and .288 in August with 17 rbi so far. If Jermaine Dye is an under the radar MVP candidate, so is this guy.

Jenks isn't doing too bad, although he hasn't been lights out lately.

Dye only has 2 homers and 2 RBI coming into tonight's game, so he's not very good. Also, Ortiz only has one homer in his last 9 games or so. I guess it means he's not a power threat.

LOL. Let's not bring out all of the stupid stuff we've said. It would take me the rest of the night to compile for you.

this thread is a bummer, yo

And our biggest concern was his weight. His velocity has been down in the last few months, and I wonder if he'd be more consistent with his arm strength if he was in better condition?

Always have to try and get the last word in, don't you?

actually, jenks looks like he's in fairly good condition

 

edit: good condition for him

It was pretty peaceful for a while...then someone showed up.

Its a characteristic of a good poster, and dare I say it, a 5 year old.

7 games, lol

 

He said "right now". How far back is "right now"? Morneau is having a good all around season, but is no means near the best player in baseball right now.

Would be funny to see what people post if Anderson dives and makes the catch.

"Nice pitch Neal", etc...

 

Overall, doesn't seem like we are gonna score more than 3. We come back to tie or take the lead and Freddy gave it right back. Freddy isn't a big game pitcher, he just says he is.

Even before the Morneau hit, we were saying it was the wrong call. Morneau might be the toughest out in baseball over the last 3 months. I simply can't believe Ozzie put him in a position to break open this game.
