Last year opponents put up a .636 OPS against Nate Robertson the first time around, in their second PA that number jumped to .857, third PA? .880.

You = my favorite scout.

All of Jim Thome's hits this season have come off lefties.

And now we get to see what Count we will get this year....and as I type this, there is a single up the middle

We flat out suck right now with RISP.....this needs to change NOW

Coming in to today, we were 18th in MLB with a .194 batting average with RISP.

 

The worst team in baseball is hitting .059 and the 3rd worst team is hitting .087. The bottom 3 teams? The Yankees, Astros, and Detroit Tigers, in order.

I'm impressed. Seems like Thome has started well against lefties.

 

 

Last time I recall seeing Jose pitch in Detroit, he put the first 3 of the game on and gave up a grand slam... so my fingers are crossed.

ill bet clete thomas kills us today...following in the footsteps of ryan rayburn, marcus thames and mike hessman as unheralded tigers who kill us

ill bet i win the lottery today

All of Jim Thome's hits this season have come off lefties.

If he's all the sudden remembered how to hit these freaks, then we'll be fine offensively this year.

Last year opponents put up a .636 OPS against Nate Robertson the first time around, in their second PA that number jumped to .857, third PA? .880.

Like I said, he's not throwing anything our guys can't hit. The 2nd and 3rd time around, I think we'll hit him pretty good.

ooooohh a Paul Konerko autograph!!

Silly "Sky is falling!" posts. We got Robertson to throw some pitches, he is erratic today, and both Thome and Konerko got some nice rips on him. Patience.

 

 

GO AWAY URIBE!

wow juan...that was CLEAR he shoulda just gone to 1st

beginning of the game Uribe, get the out. Now the Tigers are set up for a huge inning.

Snacks and Cakes with some of that stellar defense that keeps him in the lineup.

 

 

 

 

I hate Juan Uribe.

 

4 games, 4 starts.

Brilliant Juan.

The Sox REALLY want you to buy season tickets, it seemed like they gave out the number during every inning of the game on Wednesday and now they're giving away baseballs with sharpie ink stains on them as incentive.

 

Dear god I hate Juan Uribe.

Thank you Juan.

this is gonna be a long game.

And now we get an error from Juanny to get 2 on, no one out....

ahhhh yes. And I thought Juan was the best fielding two bagger according to the sox?

Oh god, now Jose is crapping a goose.

Juan throws it to left field trying to make an impossible play at second base. great. If the guys in for the defense, he better play defense the correct way.
