Anyone want to tell our hitters to make Garza get it down. Not to swing at the 97 mph fastball at the chest. You cant do anything with it.

 

 

 

Well, all things considered, we're pretty fortunate to be only down 1-0.

 

Garza seems like he's throwing well, but that 96 MPH four seam fastball is pretty straight...it's his slider/cutter that causes so many problems.

 

Still, very glad to see both Bartlett and Garza out of Minnesota.

He is way behind so far.

Thome chases ball 4.

bird realizes thome aint gonna hit anything

If we lose, we can blame the pigeon

 

lol

 

he does have our colors though.

For someone chasing his first championship Thome has not been coming through in the series. But who has?

Wish it was that easy. That is tough pitch to lay off when you have a nano second to make a decision.

Thome Ks.

i can't wait until jim thome isn't on our team anymore

These guys have no gameplan today. Hacker baseball. Just swing at anything near the plate.

 

 

 

Swung at about 6 balls. Another bad AB

So why did we take Broadway over Garza?

You realize that even with 97 they can judge location. Especially on a straight fastball.

We have other problems that concern me more than Thome.

Paulie laying off the high heat.

they just don't seem to be hungry for it

useless

Ok PK. That was served on a plate. Pop out to catcher.

Our scouting department is retarded.

 

 

 

god i really dislike the thome konerko back to back thing

We'll probably get no-hit to end our season.

Jim Thome was a great player, but if he can't catch up to Garza's straight fastball, he's pretty much done as an offensive force. They will fastball him right out of the game.

 

The Sox are without good fastball hitters right now.

they just don't seem to be hungry for it

 

Hungry? Wanting something doesn't make you win. They're plenty hungry. The problem is that they have no plan and no clue how to win this game.

So get this....CB Bucknor was going to lose his job 5 years ago, and after being informed his contract would be torn up, he threatened to hire a lawyer on the basis of racial discrimination. That information is from some of his colleagues while in the International League.
