fathom Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Congrats to Thome for showing up in the 9th inning finally....needless to say, that wouldn't have happened if he was the tying run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29andPoplar Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 I can only assume the purpose would have been to hide his velocity. Although I also understand if anyone is interested in Broadway they'll have scouts on hand with their own radar guns. If not, what else could possibly explain consistent radar showing ALL night expect for Broadway? Am I supposed to believe the person responsible took a bathroom break and there's nothing more to it? I recall last season how, mysteriously, certain Freddy Garcia starts didn't have a radar gun available either. Hey who killed Pres. Kennedy by the way?

I recall last season how, mysteriously, certain Freddy Garcia starts didn't have a radar gun available either. Every fastball was 92 to 94 according to MLB gameday, which is very accurate, and his changeup was about 84. Happy, now go find those aliens that killed JFK.

If you were an opposing pitcher and the game was close, would you give Thome anything to hit? I can't recall ever seeing this questioned answered no matter how many times I've asked it.

ottawa_sox Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:07 PM) His stuff looking much more crisp than I ever saw at Charlotte, and gameday on MLB had him at 92 to 94, with an 84 changeup to strike out the 2nd batter. Maybe it was just adrenaline, but the pitches he threw looked good. Very nice. Thank you for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Keeping Fields in LF the rest of this season is the best strategic move they've made all year. Who the hell cares if our 3rd basemen make errors right now. What people should focus on is that Fields in LF means no slap hitter in LF next year.

I can't recall ever seeing this questioned answered no matter how many times I've asked it. I was being 100 pct sarcastic though. And no, I'd pitch him carefully. However, he's had some good pitches to hit since he's been here in the situations we've discussed, and he hasn't done any damage with them.

Except for possible double plays. A walk is totally inexcusable . Edited September 8, 2007 by ottawa_sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottawa_sox Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) According to Gameday's description, that looked like a revolting at bat for Pierz. Edited September 8, 2007 by ottawa_sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Flash, you got quiet since I posted those velocities from gameday on Broadway? Would you be happier if I lied and told you he was throwing 86 to 88? LOL, ground rule double, tie game. I thought that was out of here actually, you got to be kidding me.

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I can't decide if I want us to get Lance his first MLB win or see him pitch another inning right now, but either way, this might be the strangest 9th inning I've ever seen.

santo=dorf Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 According to Farmer, this game is tied at 6. Too little, too late Grindy. My fantasy team's pitching has been a nightmare all week long. Nathan has been part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 That Erstad hit doesn't bother me, any idiot could see that's an easy flyout if not for the wild pitch moving everybody (including Hunter) way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
