kazmir finally settling in, and we're not helping things much

"It seems that you have to be a physics professor to choose the right TV. Luckily, I am one."

 

I seriously hate that commercial. TBS really needs to stop being so repetitive. This is almost as bad as that one year when we got all those Joan Cusack commercials on CSN.

 

She pissed me off so bad she made me, a 22 year-old grown-ass man, punch my TV once... or twice.

Now our guys are swinging at everything. So much for the plan at being patient.

were swinging for the fences again.

 

When do we not? It's just something you have to accept.

Thome, Ramirez, and AJ dont have great plate discipline anyways.

 

Imo Kazmir still has looked the same, just went up against free swingers who arent taking pitches.

This crowd is sad. Most of the people won't even stand up.

Alexie threw the ball into the dugout = two bases

aj how do you swing at that?

tampa has momentum

Sweet, we swung at 1 strike that entire inning.

Here comes a 10 pitch inning. I'd much rather see Price come in than Kazmir. Price is one of the worst pitchers on Tampa's roster.

 

An unknown pitcher with great stuff. I'm pretty sure he'd strikeout 10.

Thats why our good work earlier getting Kazmir's count high was so important because some players on the Sox refuse to take first pitch regardless of how wild the pitcher is.

 

Every one of those batters swung first pitch, each of those pitches was a ball.

 

Thats inexcusable.

Sounds so reasonable. Am I in the right thread?

My brother saw him enough in Tampa to inform me that he's not ready for big-time big league action yet.

and w/ Uribe, BA and OC next inning it's probably another 10 pitch inning... stupid.

Kazmir looks significantly worse when pitching from the stretch.

Some of these players need to watch Manny take 2 strikes every at bat and still battle back to get good pitches.

 

If a pitcher is struggling you cant help them by swinging early in the count.

agreed.

 

I am as big a fan of AJ as there is on this board, but that was a hapless at bat.

one down

Iwomora Ks on three pitches. Good start.

Iwamura over matched that ab. Didnt even put one good swing at the ball.

I like how HR was saying that AJP has turned into a good MLB player. He's been a good MLB player for 7 years or so now.

He even yawned in between pitches.

He may not be against the majors, but you know as well as I how the Sox fair against pitchers they've never seen before, regardless of how terrible they are.
