A signature up 3-0 and then strike out swinging by Thome there.

 

As Hawk keeps pointing out, Thome is opening up way too much and swinging and missing at a lot of hittable fastballs because of it.

You have to wonder what happened to Liriano.

 

He was still good last year, although it was against really bad teams.

 

The difference between the torque of an 87-90 MPH tight slider and a loose low 80's version without control that you can bury inside on the RH hitter's hands.

 

And a decent-velocity fastball but one about 2-3 MPH slower than in 2006. Basically, hitters don't fear his slider anymore, he's afraid to hurt himself again...so the hitters just wait for him to have control problems and sit on FB's when they get up in the counts.

Anyone know what Dye and Konerko's career numbers at the Dome are? They always seem to have rather lackidasical at bats for some reason here.

Dye:.202 .261 .327 .589, Konerko .250 .294 .313 .607

We have to win at least this game or hope the Indians can hold off the Tigers tonight (3-2 lead in the middle innings) because TMRW it's the dreaded Toma Ohka versus Justin Verlander match-up.

 

Of course, that's probably the game where everyone bets on the Tigers and the Indians rise up and score 11.

 

 

Connie Mack story from 1932. Saving money on train fare for the owner, he decided to bring only two pitchers to a game.

 

The starter gave up four hitters and was pulled by Mack in the first inning. The reliever ended up going 17 innings, giving up a record 29 hits but winning the game 18-17. Those were the days.

Definitely more interested in watching the 7-8-9 bat tonight than the middle of the order.

 

Watching Gavin pitch has been the best thing tonight.

 

BA, continue to forget you suck.
