Did rongey quit?

Getting the Astros feed again.Announcers said the talk about the Sox is they beat themselves with poor play and mistakes that don't appear in the box score.Referenced Danks pickoff last night.They're right.

Hector dropping down against lefties. If he can begin to get lefties out....watch out.

Ain't that the truth. It's the old "finding ways to lose" way of playing.

We've got a pitchers duel. :lol:

Wow. Real tough luck for Tank there.

Dunn's BABIP trending upward some more.

And with another hot streak he could get up to .190 too. ;)

3-1 count, swing at ball 4, and then pop out in the OF. Horrible 2nd inning AB by Keppinger.

Like your graphic. Looks like a combo of Edward Geary and Arthur Rackham.

Dunn's BABIP has been so low that there is no explanation for it but bad luck. He'll bat over .200 for the season. Beyond that, I dare not prognosticate too much on the enigma that is Adam Dunn

I love how naive Hawk is about Carlos Pena

Didn't know Flowers is a converted 3rd baseman,switched to catching in '08.Hasn't done him much good.

At least Flowers' bat has started to show some life and his throwing has really become excellent as of late. He has a little time to get his head on straight when it comes to blocking balls.

Goodness Flowers, stop calling for non-fastballs when that's far and away Santiago's best pitch.

Pretty good AB by Crowe, but it seems the occasional walk-filled inning will be a part of the Hector experience. Gotta get this guy, now.

Dan Hayes said before the game that the Sox are "married" to the idea of Flowers being their catcher this year, so they'll give him this entire year most likely.

3-0 Astros, as Flowers keeps calling for Santiago's awful offspeed pitches.

Cooper is a moron if he is the one that called for him to start throwing more curveballs to righties.

Keppinger's range at 3b is pathetic. This team is so f***ing bad, just have to hope this weekend's debacle causes some type of shake-up.

I give up lol sell the pieces.

 

 

LET'S GO BLACKHAWKS

If you're trying to build, you're going to have to be willing to take some lumps with Tyler. This gives Phegley plenty of time to marinate down in AAA instead of being pushed up at the first time of a good run. Let Josh put well over half a season together before we start worrying about putting him on the MLB club. If Flowers still sucks, you haven't lost anything. If Flowers looks like an everyday big leaguer by then, you have the happy problem of too many bats.

More like Cooper is a moron if he doesn't work night and day with Santiago on a 2nd and 3rd pitch every chance he gets.
