C'mon Ramon make our hometown proud

Vega Baja, Puerto Rico?

 

Good call.

Agreed. That could be considered calling it.

Vega Baja, Puerto Rico?

Yes, home town of Juan gonzalez and irod too

Really? He's in good company.

The last 5 years or so....do we lead the majors in solo home runs? Not exactly complaining, but jeez!

Really? He's in good company.

Yes, we've had a few major leaguers. Juan gone, irod, Castro, Luis aguayo, Joaquin Quintana(played in the 70's), Hector Valle( played in the 50's or 60's) and Edwin maysonet(who played briefly in 2008 or 09 with the Astros)

Wow, cool catch by Stone on how Suzuki is sending the signals.

Sorta thing that has always made me think Stone would be a GREAT coach/maybe manager.

We're #7 in MLB in total HR and #9 in solo HR this season.

 

We hit a lot of solo HR because we hit a lot of HR.

H. Christ.

88 pitches through 4 for Gio.

I remember Quintana and Valle, not Maysonet though.

How could Lexi not hit a fly ball there?

Geezus. Stupid baseball. made to order DP.

Fail by a good hitter. Fail.

These are the opportunities that bite us in the butt late in games when we piss them away.

Maysonet is an infielder, he's with Milwaukee now

Seattle broadcasters were talking the other day about Konerko's last 9 or 10 homers off Seattle...ALL solo hrs.

C'mon Lillibridge, WAKE UP!

 

Bring back Pierre, haha.

 

Well, I won't go that far. But there's no way it should just be a 2-1 lead...which, of course, will have later consequences against the A's in 2011.

These are the opportunities that bite us in the butt late in games when we piss them away.

That's the short description of the first 5 innings both yesterday and today.

Seattle broadcasters were talking the other day about Konerko's last 9 or 10 homers off Seattle...ALL solo hrs.

Seattle's had good pitching for several years, so they haven't given up a ton of baserunners.

 

On average, teams have 56 HR this year and 33 of them are solo shots, so something like 60% of HR are solo shots.

Official Scorer is being harsh on Sox fielders tonight.

That he is

Greg, Lillibridge does his job and reads the same ball that get the lead runner over to 3rd, he's standing on 2nd and you're cheering Alexei for doing his job by not striking out or popping up.

 

Then it's 3-1 with another runner on 3rd with two outs. Totally different situation. I don't blame Alexei. That's arguably two runs (one offensively, one defensively) that he's cost us tonight. The chickens are starting to come home to roost with Lillibridge getting extended play over a long period of time. There was no way he wasn't going to cool down offensively.

This inning, I would like to learn more about what it would take to own a house, roughly 16,000 square foot, in the Scottsdale area.

So who's our designated closer by committee tonight?

 

Crain, Thornton or Sale? You'd have to go with Matty, but Jesus, if Cliff Pennington comes up again with the winning or tying runner on base, I hope he gets him out or he will be having Aarsdsma-esque nightmares for the rest of the season.

Dave Wilder still has some of his properties on the market, fwiw.

 

Apparently, Rios has BOTH his left shoulder more turned in AND his hands higher. Those have been the two adjustments Walker is touting to everyone.
