I'm following on Gameday. But I haven't liked a majority of his at bats since opening day.

 

Couldnt disagree more Morel brought in a .290 avg (of course in a sample size of ABs) but he's hit the ball hard for the most part all season.

"How bout a wild pitch here. Throw one in the dirt."

 

Hawk. Jesus.

I instantly said "shut up Hawk" out loud when I heard him say that.

I HOPE this is the case, I really do. In any event it's a horrible decision bringing in MT.

 

IMO, realistically Ozzie had to give him another shot. But as far as I'm concerned this experiment should be over now. Give Santos a shot now.

After seeing how Morel looked last time, I would have gone with Omar.

 

 

This.. exactly this... Contact hitter, and a quality defensive replacement if he doesn't get the run in.

Morel has a lot to learn. Like the odds of an 0-2 pitch being hittable is pretty slim. Take a pitch, slick.

Well you can't take a pitch 0-2, but you can shorten up your swing, which he didn't do.

Batting 9th and getting a ton of fastballs.

JP, you suck at baseball.

 

That's basically my Facebook status right now

Matt Thornton has got to be mentally done with as a closer. It's a shame, but now you just hope he can salvage his season as a set-up man.

 

That's what I'm worried about as well.

 

Having Hawk argue with pitch trax all year is going to be absolutely hilarious.

 

Right now Morel just needs to start realizing that he is in the majors and that teams are tracking every pitch to him.

 

They are going to throw him nothing close until he makes them throw strikes. Its actually a great place to be as a hitter, he just needs to put the bat on his shoulder and take 1-2 pitches each at bat.

Juan messed up, no doubt...but that was 3 hard hit balls off our closer and I, for one, had absolutely zero faith that Matt would have gotten the third out any way, making the error academic. He looks like absolute crap out there. An 83MPH slider down the heart of the plate to the leadoff hitter was pretty much all I had to see to come to this conclusion.

Crain's curve is nasty 2nite.

I was about to post that, he's looking damn good tonight

LOL

 

I've seen enough. Bring back Tim Raines at his age right now.

in his career ozzie has been a lot of things, but a manager with a short lease, i wouldn't say so.

I just can't imagine MB saying he was tired, but you're right usually he leaves the starters in too long. He looked so good in the 8th...strange...

Hasnt even played a full season yet, plays great D and many here said any added offense would just be a hefty bonus in this lineup, I think he's looked just fine.

Crain pitching like he is pitching against the Sox.

I'm quoting this just because it needs to be said again. There is no way that Buehrle was taken out by ozzie. Mark had to tell him he was tired.

 

He was tired giving up two hits - got it.

+1

Damn

f***. f***. f***. There's that straight ass fastball.

Right when I say Crain is looking good, f***

Crap
