fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Unfortunately, Jose is still struggling mightily with his offspeed stuff. Second time through the lineup for Rangers is going to be very difficult for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Yuck...leadoff walk to 9th hitter. His entire approach to lefties is so screwed when he can't throw a forkball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 You're right, fathom. You have to be able to hit the zone with both fastball and offspeed crap with that lineup. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Two walks to start the inning. He's back to not driving off his back foot, and the ball is dying as it gets to the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Goodness, Jose is f***ing awful. Of course, that was just stupid throwing him a fastball inside in that situation. Great job AJP! BTW, for those not watching, Hawk said that AJP has been great behind the plate this season. Â I HATE WATCHING DANNY WRIGHT PITCH AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Well good thing we pitched to the powerful lefty with an open base and two outs. It's not like lefties are hitting over .325 against Jose this year, and righties only at .230. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 At this point I'm almost willing to bet that Jose spends a little time in the minors this season. He does have an option remaining. Since he's accumulated over 5 years of service he'll have to consent to any reassignment but with the way he's pitching he won't have much of an argument if KW chooses to go that route.

kapkomet Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 It looks like about 20 minutes. It will rain pretty hard but blow through pretty quick. It's starting to fill in like earlier today. We're getting heavy heavy rain where I am now. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that he has nothing on the mound anymore. His forkball has completely abandoned him. His fastball is down into the 89-91 mph range. He doesn't give the Sox a good chance to win many starts with the junk he's throwing up there. Of course, we have to stop challenging lefties with 2 outs if there's an open base and righty on deck. Two straight starts with TERRIBLE pitch calling caused him to give up multiple runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 You almost don't want them to get out of this bottom half quickly because they're going to short the game if the Sox go 123 next inning. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 So Mike Huff is stating that Jose throws a curve ball? Rain is on the way, but the super quick top of the 4th inning might hurt any chance of this not going 5 innings. Jose is so f***ing bad...it's not a good story anymore, it's a glaring hole for the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
