Especially Tejada whom I assume they have not seen and therefore are unable to touch.

Alexei Ramirez with the RBI single.

Opposite field hit for Alexei scores a run, and I like the base running. Here comes the squeeze.

With AJ Running from 3rd?

Hey man I predicted a win back on page 2 or 3. I can not let the Baltimore series go I guess.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2009 -> 11:06 PM)
Mike Jacobs...yes, 450 feet or so.

 

The other 2 hits, off the end of the bat up the middle by Teahen, and a broken bat by Guillen.

 

Has Gavin been giving up hits off of the fastball or offspeed?

According to Gameday, all of them were off the fastball.

Alexei steals 2nd. Trey Hillman arguing.

Goober fan saves a foul-out for the Sox.

Alexei is 6/7 on steals so far this year. That's a ton better than last year.

A couple of fantastic slides by the White Sox result in a run.

I really wish he'd start using his curveball a lot more often. No reason to not use your #1 pitch (by a mile) more often.

I was just watching highlights from what I missed, which are of the KC announcers, and I have to reiterate that they are easily the most boring announcers in all of baseball.

Guillen used to have a great arm...ten years ago, Cox doesn't dream of sending him.

 

Good job getting the ball into the air, Scott. He's been better offensively than I expected at this point in his career...as long as Ozzie doesn't try to play him in RF.

Pods with a sac fly. 7-4

The Teahen single was on the 1st pitch, Guillen had a 2-0 count, and Jacobs had a 2-1 count, so he was possibly trying to throw a strike on all of those cases. No curve balls in any of those AB's though.

Pods actually came here and changed the look of our offense.

 

I thought I'd be saying that but in far far less positive circumstances.

For some reason Mark Teahen is a guy i really want to succeed. Just not against the Sox. I'm the same way with Gordon and Greinke. I hate everyone else on this damn team.

Pods offense has never really been an issue it is the defense.

 

With the power in the line-up already. Pods at DH makes sense to me. He seems to be more aggresive than when he left.

Edited by Jenks Heat

Strange that Gavin is getting about 7 1/2 runs per game of support, just like last year.

 

If we hold on, then team will be 4-2 in games that he's started, but obviously you'd like to see the ERA below 5 at least.

The 3-1 was a foot closer than the 3-0 strike.

His defense and the fact that his legs are made of whatever Mike Brown's legs are made of.

You really want to sit Thome for Pods?

 

More likely, Pods would be splitting time with Anderson...although some here won't/wouldn't like that.

"I'm going with that not being a sacrifice, because it's not."

-insight from DJ.

If he is hitting .300 aqnd getting on at a .375 clip f*** the OPS and rest of the crap he is what they need and DH would be his best spot.

 

I am not saying replace Thome but if THome is injured put him in there.

 

There is enough power from every other spot in the line-up when Anderson is in center.

More aggressive with the offspeed that inning!!
