There's two camps now: those that think he just had one real bad stretch, but he's great.....or those that think he sucks, and just had one hot stretch.

I just find it funny how it's not ok to bash Grinderstad and his .250ish BA because he had a horrible stretch, and his numbers are better than the other guys on the team. The defenders say this know that Iguchi, Crede, AJ (getting better,) Konerko, and Dye are all going through some tough stretches.

 

So if Erstad's numbers are slightly better than our guys in a bad stretch, what does that really say about Erstad considering he's had a hot streak?

 

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be Grienke's best outing of the year?

Cy Grienke!

Why is Sweeney so sexy? And I say that as straight as possible.

That kid is great at taking pitches.

Wow. I am actually going to cry when Sweeney is sent down. Did you see his foul off of that 2-2 pitch?

Please do something Darin. Get Buehrle in line for the win. :

Hey!! Theres that guy in our lineup with a proper approach at the plate! Veterans, stop and watch how Sweeney goes about things at the plate please.

Good inning!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

We should have traded Dye in the offseason...

Why, because he left in Buehrle to throw over 110 pitches and ensure himself the possibility of a victory?

 

tizzle for rizzle, Buehrle is a pitcher that can throw 110 pitches. not a pitcher where that is a major strain, he has a fluid delivery and can work up to 110...

 

and grindy still sucks

Do we have any second basemen in our minors that can hit and field?

 

No, the offensive prospects in our minor league system have to be one of the 5 worst in all of baseball. Years of not developing offensive talent has finally caught up to us.

You suck, Erstad.

 

If this organization sends Sweeney down, someone needs to be punched.

ok NOW bring in the pen

He won't get sent down. If for some fluke reason he is, I'm sure there'll be another injury shortly that would get him back up.

 

I might as well turn the channel when Dye, Iguchi, and Crede are up. At least with PK, I hope they might show a replay of his 2005 WS grand slam or something.

 

Ugh, where's Aardsma?

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...

Someone just might throw a rock at Terrero's head in a game of RPS....we can only hope.

Mop-Up Masset is in.

Why did we bring in our worst reliever?

Ugh, where's Aardsma?

Seriously, no Aardsma? Maybe Ozzie thinks Masset will "step up" against his former team? Very doubtful.

Unfortunately, our best hitter right now is a 22 year-old.

 

Greinke had as much life on his pitches as I've seen this year. In the 17-3 game drubbing the other day, he actually admitted he walked a batter intentionally because he was afraid of giving up a grand slam to a particular hitter.

 

Big difference tonight. Looks like their plan is Greinke for two innings, maybe Gobble if needed, then Soria.

Mop-Up Masset is in.

 

Ozzie always does this s***....if we're losing by 1 run late in the game, it's like he gives up with who he brings in from the pen.

Highly doubtful because Masset never played for the Royals.

Aardsma's warming up now? GMAFB

Every other f***ing batter would have swung at ball 4 or taken 3 pitches then walk back into the dugout.

You are in gamethread but not chat. You disgust me.

I know. I have no excuse to justify abandoning chat.

 

My laptop batter has forsaken me. From my personal computer, for whatever reason, I've never been able to successfully run a Java Applet required for chat.
