Who the heck is Frazier for Detroit? I usually pride myself in knowing most of the players...but I honestly have no idea who he is.

Recent call up.

 

And our offense looks weak so far.

Offense not looking very alive.

It's too bad I can't listen to Hawk praise Kotsay's at bats.

Our hitters just don't seem confident at all on the road, as opposed to extreme confidence at the Cell. Also, the recent struggles of Rios and Quentin since the ASB don't help.

And Konerko's splits on the road have been night and day.

Kotsay with his usual rollover to the right side. How many times does Ozzie need to see this before he realizes he is no good?

BTW, Ozzie should have mixed the lineups up a little bit tonight. Assuming he benches Kotsay, Viciedo, and AJP in the 2nd game, we'll have a lineup full of righties (against a pitcher who's slider is much tougher on righty hitters).

It's only been four months. Give him another two.

It is a hard .216 now.

That is one hard liner.

Just walk Cabrera with the bases empty.

I would think Viciedo plays the 2nd game. Can Omar play both ends of a DH?

Cabrera only has 93 r.b.i

 

What a bum.

I see Boesch's numbers are coming down to earth. Wasn't he in the .330s not long ago?

Regression to the mean at its finest.

 

I think I had a discussion with Shack about this when he was hitting .330.

You can cancel the post game show.

Is this the first time we've seen AJ bat 8th this year?

Just looked it up. Nope. 4 games in the 8 hole.

Yes, you were right...he's been horrible..I saw a regression to some degree...but he's just completely fallen off the earth.

Ozzie finally realized that splitting up A.J. and Kotsay was probably a good idea.

He must have the flu or something. Why isn't he swinging at every pitch?

He has 10 AB's in the 8 spot this year.

I was hoping A.J. would walk there, guess not.

To be honest, I didn't expect a regression to this degree either.

 

At this pace, he's going to be a .280 hitter if he's lucky. I thought he was at least going to hit .290.

I just noticed your sig Sqwert...priceless how Mark is part of the movement to impeach himself...;)
