Boone has looked somewhat nasty the last two times he has come in (Morneau and Teahen)

Good plan.

 

Until a lefthander proves they can touch your slider, why throw another pitch?

I've seen enough of Boone against lefties to trust him. Once he got a strike on Teahan I felt good. That's a major change from me thinking he was almost as good as automatic runs for the other team.

hahahaha Hawk on Erstad: "We knew he was good, he's better than we thought he was."

 

The scary thing is they were saying this when he was batting .125. I can't wait to see him in the lineup against a LHP tomorrow. That .400 OPS is overrated.

It's all about control.

Sweeney's at bat sucked ass before Grienke came nowhere near the plate. Sweeney's swings were awful, but he showed a good eye on that backdoor curve. Sweeney is the only hitter on this club that gets credit for a walk, most of the rest of the hitters it goes unmentioned. You see what you want to...

 

What a joke. Greinke buried a beautiful changeup on 3-2 just below the knees and Sweeney laid off of it beautifully. You're just pissed that Sweeney is doing better than you expected. You called out a poster last week for saying Sweeney would be hitting (insert batting average) after the week was over.

 

He's probably not going to continue this up, but give the guy some credit. He's one of two hitters (Uribe the other) who looks competent at the plate as of right now.

i will reserve judgement until I see him face Hafner and put him down in the same fashion

Look at the replay of that 3-2 pitch, the catcher caught it just above the dirt. Talk about a joke.

he's a ruthless LOOGY

Anyone else realize our 7-8 hitters are batting 2-3 this year. And now, Greinke can go another inning.

he'll pwn haffner

 

mark my words

I'm going to put a bullet in my foot.

That's one of the dumbest comments in the history of this board.

Grienke has 9 different pitches when you factor in the arm angles, so it's okay

No, he caught it just below the knees. You watch it again. Kid's 1-for-1 with 2 BBs and a homer and you're b****ing about people being a little excited that he's one of the few competent hitters in the lineup.

 

No, a joke was this past half inning. My f***ing gosh...

welcome to the sub .200 club, Paulie!

The theory of lift and pull as an offensive strategy needs to be put to bed on the southside forever. This is a f***ing joke that this craphole pitching staff of the Royals is holding us to 3 runs. The Tigers put a 9 spot on this crap, The indians would put a 9 spot on this. The aenmic Oakland offense torched them for 17 runs, and no they are looking like Cy Young again.

Well, hopefully after this year, Ozzie will pull a Tubby Smith and quit after being told he has to fire an assistant.

"The hitters are just putting too much pressure on themselves."

 

"It's not technically summer yet, so it's okay we're not hitting."

 

"It's a domino effect -- one hitter starts pressing, and then the other guy starts pressing. Poor guys!"

 

"Injuries!"

 

Am I missing anything?

Bullpen does its job, offense is sucking ass.

 

Story of the first 32 games this year.

alright, the pen has come through

 

now score a couple!

"This team is too talented not to get on a roll"....wait a second, that was last year's battle cry.

That's one of the dumbest comments in the history of this board.

People are calling him a god and all this garbage. It just bothers me when Scott Podsednik was hitting .300 and people value him like a piece of s*** and Sweeney has played like an average Major League hitter and everyone is gaga over him.

So we have Dye, Mackowiak, Crede, Iguchi, Sweeney, and Erstad to get us one run. Someone please hit a homer.

Greinke has an excellent change-up, and Sweeney took the 3-2 pitch beautifully. Way too many hitters on this team don't know how to work the count for a walk. I think Thome has more walks than the rest of the team combined.
