whoever delivered the scouting report for posada tonight needs to be fired. 3 doubles, are you kidding me?

Sox pitchers were just unlucky. Hawk is sometimes so crazy. He is flabbergasted by bloop hits against the White Sox, but when Erstad was on the Sox he would actually say Darin jammed himself on purpose to get bloop hits.

Do IBBs count against a pitcher's WHIP?

Why do we keep walking Giambi?

Yes.

Yes.

I thought so. Just curious, thanks

Because he was hitting .120 coming into today's game.

To get to Ensberg, I understand. I don't understand why we set up our rotation so that Buehrle wouldn't face the lefty dominant Yanks lineup.

If Jenks still threw 100, they would have tried to blow him away.

I do hope Hawk retires the "we still have 15 outs" line after tonight.

My three favorite players coming up. LET'S WIN THIS GAME! :headbang

After seeing Jenks lately, I really hope KW considers trading him for a huge package (please no penis jokes).

predictions for bottom of the 9th?

 

aj out on 2 pitches, both out of the strikezone

quentin soft single through the middle on a 2-2 fastball

crede pops up

uribe strikes out

 

i like to amuse myself

;)

Can someone explain to me how Jenks goes from occasionally hitting 100 to occasionally hitting 94? I mean seriously... I guess I'm not that worried about his general effectiveness but there has to be a reason for the loss in velocity, right?

Trade something huge to get something huge. I love Jenks, but our farm could use some help.

I'm concerned....I never thought I'd see the day that Hawk said he threw a batting practice fastball on 3-2.

Ramirez is in for Uribe, but if he does strike out, they should charge it to Uribe.

Last year, he said something about being less concerned with trying to throw hard and being more concerned with trying to pitch. He said to the fans 100 isn't a big a deal as it's made out to be. FWIW.

Ugh, 2 outs to get at least 2 runs.

I guess AJ forgot to read the scouting report regarding Rivera's cutter.

Who knows. He could be taking velocity off on purpose for more control, his walk rate really went down last season.

That's such BS though. At this point, we just have to hope he continues to be effective.

I'd rather he get back to the effectively wild Jenks. It would prevent players from sitting on his offspeed pitch.

Was it BS last year too?
