7/30 vs Phillies

[d-money]

Big inning here for price. Needs a 1-2-3

[Spudboy]

Where is the aggressive hitting Betts lately? Watch a couple of sucker pitches down the pipe for strikes.

 

A week or so I noted that Mookie had been striking out a lot and that his BA was going down.

 

Predictably I was chastised for being critical of Mr. All World.

 

Well, it is about 2 weeks since I started to notice his "slide".

 

He started at .362 and is now at .343.

 

Sure seems that for someone known for not striking out, he is striking out regularly.

 

I wonder why?

[vegasbob]

Hit and run I think....

 

Agree. The one time Sandy couldn't roll over on the outside pitch for a grounder.

[d-money]

Throw strikes david price.

[Station 13]

Sandy is not a guy to hit and run with.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hit and run I think....

 

I think it was a straight steal. I doubt Cora calls hit and run with Sandy at the plate.

[FredLynn]

The Yankees just got rid of Adam Warren..he has been solid in their pen. For cash as far as I can tell...could be wrong about the return.

[d-money]

Come on price.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, Sandy has been an iron man behind the plate. He'll probably be catching tomorrow with POM pitching..

[Station 13]

Was it a hit & run play or straight steal. In any case, too much thinking going on as well as swinging out of the zone

 

Straight steal. Brock that that stolen by the time Leon even swing.

[d-money]

All this after 2 outs. Geez price finish the f***ing inning.

[FredLynn]

Price has done the job tonight.

[jung]

Price has it going.

[d-money]

Price has done the job tonight.

 

Not exactly sharp but he has done his job. Need the offense now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A pitching duel. A rare thing in baseball now of days.

Mookie hitting .240 with 6 K's in 25 AB's , last 7 games.

[FredLynn]

Straight steal. Brock that that stolen by the time Leon even swing.

 

We will never know, but my guess is a hit and run....and yes, they do that with Leon because thats the only way he can reach base. He doesn't strike out a whole lot (25%) and can handle the bat in that situation.

This is Kimmi's kind of game.

 

Most of the time I find such games boring.

 

Not this one. Some good action and exciting moments.

 

Funny how people were s***ing on Price early in the game and now it seems people are singing his praise.

 

I wonder how long Cora will stick with him?

 

Probably the 7 run rule.

[jung]

Our RH hitting corp is just getting mowed down. Nunny's should have been an out. LH hitters have got to get something done here.

[Station 13]

To steal strike 1, throw a breaking ball on Betts.

[Spudboy]

Mookie hitting .240 with 6 K's in 25 AB's , last 7 games.

 

Thanks Bob.

 

That's okay for most hitters.

 

Not for the guy that starts our offense.

[vegasbob]

JDM totally confused with those pitches. Should have kept the bat on his shoulder and taken first realizing he wasn't going to see a FB strike

[Station 13]

Nola isn't throwing many fastballs, when he does he paints it.

[d-money]

Damn it. s***** inning!!! Do you bring price back?

[vegasbob]

Damn it. s***** inning!!! Do you bring price back?

 

Heeeeee's Baaaack ! Rare for Cora to let the starter go into the 7th. But stick with what's working.

[fxkatt]

Mookie should have taken the All-Star game off.. maybe he needed a good rest rather than all the hoopla and national stage stuff.

[jung]

Now what is the excuse for walking half way to the Sox dugout after that swing by the Philly hitter. That just makes no sense and the umps should just not allow that crap.

[Station 13]

Mookie should have taken the All-Star game off.. maybe he needed a good rest rather than all the hoopla and national stage stuff.

 

I think the lay off hurts him more. He was locked in prior to that, destroying the bluejays.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except for Sale, I haven't been impressed by a pitcher this year as much as this Nola guy. He's only 25 and came up thru their system.

[Spudboy]

Mookie should have taken the All-Star game off.. maybe he needed a good rest rather than all the hoopla and national stage stuff.

 

I agree.

 

But that was not going to happen.
