I love watching guys like Kershaw pitch, even if it's against us. He's just strike 1 strike 2 all the time, and that curveball is a genuine wipeout pitch.

 

Luckily we've got a guy like this of our own.

As someone who sat down the 3rd baseline on Saturday and sat 1st baseline on Sunday...sit down 1st baseline.

 

Are you saying this because of the sun?? I obviously have no idea if it will be hot or not that day so its a gamble

Home plate is NW, for sun sit down the 3rb base line.

*Obligatory f*** the NL lack of a DH comment*

 

Just change it already.

They're trying to make sure everyone in Chicago can get to bed not long after 11.

Most of their fans love not having a DH. I don't know why.

Meanwhile, we have three of them

Out of curiosity what are the garbage hitter comments referring to?

This ump's zone is gigantic

I believe there was a scouting report coming out of Cuba that he could hit, but mainly just "garbage"

Ah so it's no new comments.

Another nice inning from the feathered serpent.

Oh because it's so magical when a pitcher gets a big hit, even though they have like a .333 OPS every year and cause lineup chaos and yay sac bunting

Anonymous scout relayed by Keith Law I believe about "slider bat speed", implying as long as you can jam him inside he'll get himself out on the hard stuff and no reason to try to fool him offspeed. Well, that's the MO on him and so far he has a wRC+ of 140.

 

Scouting report might have been half accurate, in a way.

 

The thing is, and most observers realized this about Jose, is that every hitter, unless they are 'roids Barry Bonds or .400 Ted Williams, has a weakness. The key is -- does he have a strength? It's pretty obvious what Abreu's is -- massive, tremendous power.

I believe those comments were made though by scouts of teams that wanted him so they could drive the price down and try to create less suitors.

This is the kind of game that's pretty enjoyable when you're winning and I bet it's sucking balls right now for Dodger fans

Ugh, bad start to the 6th.

2-29 with no walks since the Yankees series.

 

Yep, mini-slump is a kind way of saying he's been hurting this offense leading off.

Another nice inning from the feathered serpent.

I was at that game in Dodger Stadium in 2012 when Q went 8 and gave up like 2 hits and I think the Sox brought in Reed to pitch the 9th and he gave up a run , then another RP gave up a run in the 10th and the Sox lost 2-1.

 

It's mainly the reason why I always believed in Q when others were questioning weather or not he could sustain being a top starter. I also trace his troubles with no decisions back to that game
