TELL ORLANDO HUDSON TO SHUT THE f*** UP!!!

What the hell is Pierre holding in his hands? Are those glove liners or something? He ALWAYS holds them when he's on the base paths.

 

All of the Sox baserunners do that.

So how long til the rest of the league figures out that low off speed stuff well out of the zone will get alexei out 100% of the time

Do they? I've never seen anyone else do it. Is there a reason? Why not just leave them on?

Keeps you from extending your fingers when you slide. Protects you from breaking them on the base.

 

And Hudson can STFU you little b****.

That slider is nasty to ALL righties, its just not Alexei.

Yep. Watch the guys once they get on base. Its to stop guys from getting fingers broken and jammed.

The last four outs I've seen Alexei make were on essentially the same pitch. Didn't Baker get him twice last night on low offspeed stuff out of the zone

Makes sense. Thanks alot. That has been driving me crazy.

What are the best put out pitches to right handed hitters

 

-Change up outside and low (LHP and RHP)

-High heat up and in

-Slider at the back foot (LHP)

-Slider away (RHP)

 

Those are probably the top ones.

Man at 3rd, 1 out.

 

AJ up.

 

Normal game? Double Play.

 

But we're slump busting today. The run WILL score.

SS2K5- What did we do to you to deserve that?

Another productive out from AJ!

Ouch, nevermind. She was in fact a he. No slump busted on that play.

Figures.

AJP is flirting with worthlessness at the plate this year.

No doubt in my mind we'd be a better team if Castro got to play every game against LHP. Also, no reason for Floyd to even pitch to Mauer. He's hitting over .650 vs RHP starters since ASB.

More brilliant execution by this offense. The chances the Twins score in this inning are quite high now...

They pitched around Cabrera, why not Mauer?

Somehow, Denard Span hits .275, yet like .800 against us.

Yes, but he really does contribute particularly well in other ways. Other light hitters... less so.

We need to get you a new sarcastic signature. AJ for MVP? Ozzieball?

Why is it so difficult for Sox pitchers to keep the ball down in the zone the first 4 innings? Are these starters just tired from the insane amount of quality starts this season?
