    Forsyth, you're right that Gonzo looked bad last night too, so maybe I'll give Crawdad a pass for his pitiful ABs yesterday. We'll just say that Coke was dialed in against LHHs and leave it at that. Faithful, I know we're winning. That's great. I actually got to watch the second half of the game last night (first time this season) so believe me that I'm happy we won. I'm a glass-half-full happy kind of guy. I don't think we'll ever sniff the wrong side of .500 again this season. That's gooood. But Crawdad has blown so far, 10-game hitting streak and all. It's hard to believe that this shell of a player has been one of the top OFs in baseball year in and year out. I'm hoping that it's just a bad slump, but last night the eyeball test told me that Crawdad has some serious mental issues right now. And in order for him to steal bases, he's got to be on base. That has been the problem so far this year. Anyhoo, we're all hoping he gets his head together and starts playing reasonable baseball.

    I agree with your good and bad. The ugly has to go to Crawford, who honestly doesn't look like he knows what sport he's playing. His two K's were atrocious. Even in his (ironically game-winning) last at-bat, he swung at a 92-mph fastball after the catcher had already caught it and thrown it back to the pitcher. Honestly, he looks like me in my last two years of Little League. I couldn't hit worth crap, and I knew it, and that screwed me up even more. I'd get to the point where I was literally deciding whether or not to swing before the pitcher even released the ball. That's what Crawford looked like last night, swinging at junk that was never in the strike zone. Ugh. Seriously, folks -- is he going to turn it around, or is he broken?

    I will now (almost) commit heresy. There's almost nothing I like less than cocky, self-aggrandizing, trash-talking athletes. With that in mind, I'm pretty sure that I would hate Dustin Pedroia if he played for any other team. If he played for the Yankees, I'd hate him with supernova fury. Could you imagine that little dude in pinstripes yapping about laser shows, kicking our arse with wall-ball doubles, and then high-fiving A-Rod? Ugh... makes me nauseous just thinking about it. As it is, man, I love that little guy.

    I'm glad you two agree on that.

    I'm worried about Youk.

    Ok, thanks. GameCast said "J Varitek struck out swinging, C Crawford to second" and the inning was over. that was a bit baffling.
  9. Beaneater
    What just happened? GameCast was very unclear...
  10. Beaneater
    They didn't.
  11. Beaneater
    No, preferably with the one that knows how to hit the ball with the stick.

    Paging 2007 postseason JD Drew vs. the Guardians, to the white courtesy phone please.

    100 games is not really the question at this point, I'd think. The silver lining is that the Rays are as bad as we are and the Yankees aren't much better. Maybe we suck, but we're not that many games back. If the Rays or Yanks were 6-0, we'd be in deep yogurt.
  14. Beaneater
    He needs to find the strike zone in a big way.
  15. Beaneater
    Shhhhhh! You're messing up the defeatist mind-set!

    It's a delayed-effect thing. Should take action in the 8th. Let's see, who's due up in the 8th... Uh, I mean, it'll take effect in the 9th. You just watch.
  18. Beaneater
    And our offense may stop sucking in 4, 3, 2, 1 -- NOW. Think it'll work?
  19. Beaneater
    My uneducated guess is that he'll stay until he allows a baserunner. Then again, it's April and he's sitting near 100 pitches, so maybe he's done. So let's hand it over to our dominant bullpen! ..What? You say we don't have one of those? Oh...
  20. Beaneater
    OK, but the bad call is still essentially the umpire's fault. And really, the call to Saltalamacchia wasn't close enough to pull the trigger even with a wider zone.
  21. Beaneater
    And doin' it with style!
  22. Beaneater
    So... they should start swinging at stuff outside the zone because the umpire sucks? I mean, I suppose that if you know the ump is calling a generous zone, you adjust, but the ump doesn't appear to be generous as much as inconsistent. I don't know how you deal with that as a hitter.
  23. Beaneater
    Both of the looking K's have been outside the zone -- one by a little bit, the other by 2-3".
  24. Beaneater
    BS umping
  25. Beaneater
    That's the truth.
