    Huh? The Orioles outfielder?
  2. a700hitter
    I may run to the sports bar during lunch to see if the game is on.
  3. a700hitter
    Yes, it bugs me too.

    A lot of hitters like to take the first pitch to judge the pitcher's velocity. However, they need to swing at it occassionally to keep the pitcher's honest and prevent them from getting a free strike in every AB

    Despite Buchholz's recent performances, let me paraphrase the very successful campaign rallying cry of Bill Clinton: It's the pitching stupid. Our hitters are talented, will adjust and will put up runs. Our pitching is sans talent. We need ER to be the real deal and obtain another starter. The starting pitching is at the bottom of the s*** pile in both leagues. It isn't going to get good enough on its own by "regressing". Getting rid of Masterson was a start. More moves need to be made. If Buch stays healthy and pitches well, that would go a long way toward spring boarding this team, but does anyone place a lot of confidence in that.?

    Also, since a full season is between 500 and 600 ABs and the variance of opportunities with men on base is not that great most people born before 1970 (that learned how to do math without a calculator) know that a 100 RBI guy generally hits pretty well with RISP compared to his peers. It doesn't tell you which 100 RBI guy is better with RISP or if the 95 RBI guy is better than the 100 RBI Guy. But it is a pretty good bet that the cleanup hitter with 100 RBI is better than the cleanup hitter with 75 RBI (unless he is on the Mets) assuming they play full seasons. We know intrinsically from following the game the range for the raw number that indicated a good season.

    Fred, it is pretty telling when the owner publicly makes statements about the team playing like bleep. It means that ownership is also pissed and that they are concerned that continued crappy play will start hitting the bottom line and damaging the franchise. Look for things to shake out if there isn't a big turnaround. Another week or so of wallowing in the cellar, and we will see changes on the field.

    He looks like a fun cadaver.
  9. a700hitter
    When an owner feels compelled to come out and make statements like John Henry did today, everyone is on thin ice.
  10. a700hitter
    I wish he was pitching the nightcap so I could watch it.

    Game 1 of a Day/Night Double Header Game time 1:35 MIN: Hughes (4-4, 4.59) BOS: Rodriguez (1-0, 0.00)

    Sweet Caroline is a nauseating humiliation. Watching grown men sing that song to each other turns my stomach. It is worse than watching middle aged people dance at a wedding.
  13. a700hitter
    The change was always his out pitch.
  14. a700hitter
    Great job tonight.
  15. a700hitter
    I was really worried there. Suzuki always seems to hurt us.
  16. a700hitter
    Thank goodness!!! 1-0 Shutout.
  17. a700hitter
    Put him away Koji!
  18. a700hitter
    Wasn't Eduardo Nunez the heir apparent to Jeter at one point?
  19. a700hitter
    He really worked over Mauer in that AB.
  20. a700hitter
    Koji is a master.
  21. a700hitter
    Two pitches at 79 mph. What is that pitch?
  22. a700hitter
    Hopefully, he keeps pitching like he has been recently and doesn't get one of those 2 month injuries.
  23. a700hitter
    Okay, but I am still nervous.
  24. a700hitter
    Buch headed to the clubhouse I think.
  25. a700hitter
    I have him and Koji on one of my teams. I would leave him in. He's only at 92 pitches and he is in command. Hopefully, we give Koji an insurance run.
