White Sox are starting to run away with this one.

 

It's beautiful ain't it? :D

 

It would be awesome to sweep that series but would have to take a doubleheader.

I think we saw how hard it is to hit anything out of safeco. I think Papi could get it out in the power alleys and maybe WMB if he hits it just right. Salty might be able to but he would have to catch it just right also. You just about have to pull the ball to get it out of Safeco. 388 and 385 in the power alleys....So almost have to hit it 400 just to get it out in the power alleys. Dead center for example is 405 there. That Fenway swing really gets hurt there as it just turns into a long fly ball. Basically it is a park that rewards guys that can hit line drives into those power alleys and then run like hell.

That ball that Gonzo hit to the left center gap yesterday was absolutely crushed. A 385 foot blast the opposite way should be gone anywhere.

It would not surprise me if the other M's pitchers pitched Gonzo he same way Felix did. I don't even think Felix showed Gonzo a pitch on the inner half preferring to just keep putting the ball on the outer edge or off the outer edge and let Gonzo go ahead and hit it into the graveyard in left center.

Sure would be nice to get a few runs early. With Cooke out there we are going to need about 6-7 runs to hope to win this

 

6 or 7?? You think the Mariners offense in Safeco is better than the Braves offense in Fenway??

Yup. Six or seven. Not because of the Mariners offense (they ARE a professional club) but because Cooke stinks badly.

It goes with his version of the 7 run rule.

I wonder if that is WMB's new glove. That is not the glove he wore last night and it is not the glove he had at the start of the season.

Too bad it's his arm that's the problem.

WMB has made more errors throwing than catching it but I think his throwing issues are similar to Salty's early defensive issues...trying to hard to rush things....in WMB's case not getting set, getting his feet under him before making the throw over...rookie nerves I think
