6/7 vs. Texas

[Spudboy]

No one from Texas argued the call. If it was that close, you'd think they would have made a stink about it.

[Spudboy]

Nesn froze it perfectly showing he was clearly out.

 

Thank you. That last freeze showed what happened.

All cruz needs now is a single for a cycle...

[Cocos Disciples]

JFC, 6-3. Cruz a single from the cycle.

[ms_sox]

6-3. SIGH.

[Spudboy]

6-3. Sox bats have to do something.

[ms_sox]

C'mon macho baseball dudes, runz plz. Now.

[laxtonto]

Ok, time to trade for Vizquel... I am sold

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice play by Vizquel.

 

I heard someone call him a future HOFer the other day. Does anyone here actually think he deserves to be in the Hall?

[Teddyballgame10]

How did Dice-K look today? 10 hits ouch, no walks though, shocker.

[laxtonto]

Nice play by Vizquel.

He'll make it...

 

Especially if he sticks around a few more years... Approximately 2700 hits, best feilding SS of his generation...

[Cocos Disciples]

I just think he's too poor of an offensive player (really, this is his third above average offensive year according to OPS+) to warrant a vote.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Vizquel will make it because of his glove.

[laxtonto]

This O'Day guy has sick splits

 

Dominates RH.... Meh LH

[Cocos Disciples]

Fair enough. Who gets in in the 2010 ballot? New notable players include: Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff. I think you can make a good case for Alomar and Larkin. IMO Martinez and McGriff are reaches. However, I don't think any of them get in on the first ballot. I'd say Andre Dawson is the only one.

[Teddyballgame10]

How bad is Jacoby hurt? Any chance he makes the Yankee series?

[laxtonto]

Ill go with that... But I would not be surprised to see a major push for Larkin

[Cocos Disciples]

4 hits against the Rangers is pretty awful.

Right shoulder strain, probably nothing serious

[Spudboy]

Ugly, just ugly.

Alomar is a lock. He's one of the best players I've ever seen play. Larkin should get in and I think Martinez does eventually.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Nice play Dusty.

[ms_sox]

Wait a sec...I must've blinked. Pap in when not a save situation? Trying to keep it -3 I guess?

[Cocos Disciples]

Do you think Alomar gets in first ballot?

[Spudboy]

Amazing. A "clean" inning by Paps.

[laxtonto]

Do you think Alomar gets in first ballot?

 

No... Unless Larkin gets in first ballot first and there is a close precedent

[ms_sox]

I guess it worked (Paps). Hope for some comeback magic....

[laxtonto]

Amazing. A "clean" inning by Paps.

 

A clean inning that had 1 good defensive play and 2 hard hit balls... Seemed more scary than normal. it might just be that Texas takes some viscous cuts and puts balls in play with some major velocity on it.

[Cocos Disciples]

I disagree with the announcers, I don't think Francisco is hurt, I just think with a 3 run lead they're saving him. No need to let the save rule force your hand.

Shoulder stiffness...

 

Couldn't get loose yesterday either
