So Orlando Cabrera can't bunt to save his life.

 

Wouldn't have expected that.

Wasn't their last japanese pitcher a hot dog eater as well.

 

A tip of the cap for that joke.

He K's

 

of course

 

what a terrible hitter we traded for

Honestly, I really am not bothered by a guy like Jim Thome not being "Clutch". With the way he hits, you'd actually expect him to be weak in the late innings because people would keep bringing LOOGY's in to face him and he's made a HOF career by destroying right handed pitching.

 

You rely on Jim to win a game early in the game by destroying a pitcher. That's what he's done his whole career. In 2005, we had a lot of guys who were weak pitchers that we got a lead on but the game wound up close because we didn't have someone who could put them away like Jim.

 

The problem...Right now he's not hitting righties!

I'm fine with Thome as long as he stays down at number five or even six in the lineup. At this point in his career he should never be batting third. Still, it would be nice if he could drive in a runner from third base in a one - one tie game.

AJ in for Alexei.

Ohh.....fancy lineup changes.

Really good managing by Ozzie here. He really should put on a hit-and-run.

The sooner Cabrera is not leading off, the better.

it seems to me that Cabrera always swings at the first pitch

And he hits the first pitch at a terrible rate in the low 100s.

Nice job to move up.

 

Deliver us, CQ.

BA moves into second. 2 out.

 

Come on CQ.

AJP just missed that. I want to see the CQ legend grow.

He has a low career OBP. He's not suited for that spot. He had a big year offensively last year, but was pretty mediocre the second half. It seems to me, it almost seems like he doesn't want to be here a lot of the time.

Good try by AJ, nice tag up by Brian. Now we need CQ to come through!
