He's looking so good at the plate right now. Proof in point that this forum knows better than Ozzie with us wanting Getz to leadoff and BA in center before the season started...

lol Anderson, enjoy this hot streak buddy, we definately are.

Brian caught stealing.

Has anyone ever seen AJ throw out a runner by that large of a margin?

Lillibridge is way too far off the plate. He has no chance to make solid contact on pitches on the outer corner.

Whiff on the hit and run and BA is out. I don't think Lilli really has the plate coverage for a hit and run--he's so small.

It was a hit and run and Lillibridge didn't make contact. AJ would have thrown the runner out just as easily. AJ doesn't throw well but Floyd and Contreras give him no chance.

Hit and run works beautifully with Getz, Lillibridge not so much.

Great inning, 6 pitches, 3 out.

toronto playing like they don't care today, tons of defensive miscues, and halladay doesn't have anything close to his best stuff, and we're stranding runners left and right

 

meanwhile jose is sharpening up, we have to take this game, there's no excuse for not winning today

Bulls game is good

Kalapse, if you're reading: how many hits did Alexei have to the opposite field last year, and how many does he have so far?

the real josh fields is starting to emerge, that average down to .266

It's really scary how he still swings and misses at so many fastballs in the 90 mph range.

AJ defiantly has a weak arm, but a lot of the steals against the Sox are against our pitchers -- we have notoriously bad pitchers (aside from Buehrle/Danks) when it comes to keeping runners in check. And Contreras is one of the worst in the game when it comes to getting rid of the ball.

nice AB for jim right there

 

 

That was a pathetic inning for our 2-3-4. Please don't have too big of a leash today Ozzie.

he loads his swing regardless of the pitch-type, which makes his swing look as slow as a slug on fastballs but he crushes breaking pitches

jose has proven me wrong today, compared to his other outings this is an outstanding improvement for him, against the best team in the american league no less

 

let's get jose at least a ND

Very strong performance for Contreras after the first. Put in Dotel for the 7th inning.

To the 7th, tied at 3. Halladay's retired 8 in a row, even though he's giving us a lot of great pitches to hit. Jose's staying in for the 7th....oh boy

Jose still in.

Up until the end of regulation. Tyrus Thomas is not a smart basketball player, should have handed the ball to Gordon or Rose after the rebound.

conte is the man

Nice game today Jose.
