8/30 vs. Chicago

[Cocos Disciples]

Ellsbury, we're killing Buehrle, don't bunt.

[ORS]

Bailey does what Cora cannot do. Perhaps Tito will try Bailey at 1B / Youk at 3B with Lowrie's bat at SS, where it adds value, in future games.

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice homer from Bailey.

[Cocos Disciples]

Thanks, smartest man in baseball.

[MANNYHOF24]

s*** cora!

[Cocos Disciples]

f*** you Alex Cora, should be 5-1.

[MANNYHOF24]

Good to see.

[ORS]

Ellsbury' date=' we're killing Buehrle, don't bunt.[/quote']

I don't think he's trying to just move the runner. He's pretty good at bunting to get on when the defense is sleeping.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Ellsbury bringing the A-game today

[jlcrss9]

Nice hit by ellisbury, but dammit Cora, that would have been an easy run.

[ORS]

Cora. Bad at everything.

[a700hitter]

They are tatooing Buehrle.

[a700hitter]

Lowrie is like an RBI machine. He's like a Minny Manny.

[Cocos Disciples]

I don't think he's trying to just move the runner. He's pretty good at bunting to get on when the defense is sleeping.

 

I know hindsight is 20/20, but even so, I still have him swinging.

[MANNYHOF24]

Cora should never be in the lineup. He sucks.

[Cocos Disciples]

Damn close to an awesome catch.

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice snag by Griffey, but Buehrle still has absolutely nothing.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lucky that one bounced into the stands. Get out of it, Bowden.

[The Dustball]

Big AB here. A hit and its a one run game. Get it done, Bowden.

[Cocos Disciples]

NICE

[a700hitter]

The kid has a pair.

[Thumper]

Good K right there.

 

Bowden's looking fairly decent tonight. Pitch count could be a little better but hey, he's adjusting.

[ORS]

Huevos. Nice change on 3-2.

[inkman]

Watching the game on WGN. The announcers are patently offensive with their homerism. They make Michael Kay look impartial.

[Thumper]

To show how slow MLB.tv is, it's 1-1 to Crede and MLB.tv is just showing him come to the plate.

 

Damn you lag.

[a700hitter]

This is the tough part of the order. I'd give him a very short leash-- one more batter.

[riverside sluggers]

Ill take it, nice job rook!

[ORS]

That change is big time.

 

I'll tell you one thing I don't get though. I saw a s*** load of 0-2 / 1-2 counts where 'Tek called for a FB. I don't know if the idea was to get them looking, but that's generally easier when the FB has some lateral movement, and Bowden's doesn't have whole lot.

 

EDIT: Like his command, though. He can really pound the 'zone. 62/88 for strikes, and just one jittery walk to the first batter he faced.

[Cocos Disciples]

89 pitches through 5. Hard to tell if he's returning. Pedroia is f***ing awesome. 7 for 7 in the series, right?

[Thumper]

Pedroia can f***ing hit, ya know?
