QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) Hey, Beckham made the play!! Please prove me wrong Buehrle/Ozzie! You suck

And now he's leaving his change up in the zone.

The Escobar AB: What a s*** game for Fletcher.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) People make way too big a deal about position changes. He switched to the easiest position on the field. Sure, maybe if it happened mid-year, I could see issues. And ginger, I've made more excuses for Beckham than anyone. When we weren't contending, his worthlessness was more acceptable. Now that we're contending, it's not! He played 3B for the first time every last season and put up an .800 OPS. Position change is not a valid excuse for his struggles.

Take a look at this HORRIBLE zone from today's umpire: That's embarrassing

THAT was a plus defensive play. Now Hawk wills say how great he's been this year.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) And people weren't willing to give him up for Agon last year. If we only had a crystal ball. I still wouldn't do it but that's just me.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) true, apparently they dont teach baserunning and sliding in cuba? From what I've seen the only thing they teach players in Cuba is how to swing from the heels on every pitch regardless of speed or location.

Heard a few boos that time.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) he was out no matter when he started sliding It's a much larger problem that needs to be corrected.

Alexei slides WAAAAAAAAAAAY too early, he's always been this way.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) Holy cow Alexei! Hit-and-run please to avoid the 1-6-3 Outstanding.

The elusive good AB for Alexei.

Ubaldo Jimenez's ERA skyrockets to 1.60 after allowing 6 ER today. His WHIP isn't all that impressive given his ERA: 1.04

Good s*** Mark, AJ.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) The one that hit off the top was an easy play that he just didn't jump in time. The last one was the most difficult, but he can feel free to make at least one tough play out of all these difficult chances. That I agree with. He's had 3 non-conventional plays so far in this game and failed to make any of them, you'd hope he'd come away with AT LEAST one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Beckham with just a horrific defensive game so far. Be nice if Quentin ever made a plus defensive play. There aren't a lot of 2B that make that play or the one that hit off the top of his glove.

Looked pretty safe to me.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Kotsay ran home because his third base coach sent him. I think in this case the ire ought to be directed elsewhere (i.e. to a one Mr. Jeff Cox). Only ire I saw was directed at his foot speed.

Man I love D-Train. 60% of the pitches he threw today were balls, that man is one of a kind.

I'll proclaim Quentin back when he gets his OPS over .800. This isn't the first time this season that he's gone on a little tear, he needs to keep it up for longer than a week.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) This is gettingexciting. Konerko seems to never have been as good as he has been this year. Well, if he keeps this up the entire season it will be the best year of his career.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:50 PM) I'm not saying it wasn't a good call, but should it have even had been in question? Rios barely ever strikes out, and Vizquel is a good base runner. Heh, I'm trying to be fair here. When I rip the s*** out of Ozzie in the 7th or 8th for a retarded decision it won't look as bad because I complimented him earlier.

HAHA! Love this team.

God, I love this team right now. Great call by Ozzie to put Omar in motion.
