QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) Uribe's average is now up above .200. Pods getting close too.

Where'd he hit it?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:10 PM) Time for a DP, Double penetration? What are you doing while watching the game?!?

Lets get a groundball here

Dammit

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) If it's a strike what's the prob?? I ain't watching the game so I don't know. Sometimes the first pitch is the best pitch you'll see. When a guy is struggling to find the zone in the 1st two innings I would prefer that the batters work the count a little. Maybe get a couple more walks and then a big hit.

Both outs in this inning were on the 1st pitch of the AB. The guy has walked 4 already.

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) its amazing vaz can ever give up 5 runs in an inning when he's got that stuff...I'm imagining a Contreras like 2nd half from him this year. If that's true we will run away with it.

Disregard my 'ugly 3rd inning for Elarton' post. *sigh*

My perfect game with 18 Ks prediction is looking good so far

QUOTE(Damen @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) With our offense right now, there's no need taking the 50-60% risk of producing an out for the sake of one run. I'll give Pods another month of basestealing to show he can steal at the rate he did before his injury, but if he can't, I'd rather he demonstrate restraint on the basepaths. Might as well have Gload lead-off then.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) We have a pitcher who has no control, yet we cant control ourselves and need to swing the bat. So in inning number 2 we bail out a pitcher who wants to give up an 8 spot. Dont swing until the first strike is called. I have a feeling next inning will get ugly for Elarton.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:40 PM) is it me or did singleton just go off on farmer? "whatever, you're gonna paint the picture you want I guess..." They seem to have some hostility towards each other.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:32 PM) Vazquez is looking sharp on the mound a 1-2-3 inning I predict a perfect game with 18 Ks.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:28 PM) Elarton threw 27 pitches in the first inning. And 9 of them were strikes. Pretty lousy. Hope that doesn't give him a confidence boost.

I hope AJ finally shows some plate discipline.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) line for Kano today..... 6 2/3 IP 6ks 2BB 3 ER Elarton SHOWS MERCY.........HAHAHAHAHA KANO WINS!!!!! OUTSTANDING. Awesome sig!

QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) I see what you are saying about Garland being a veteran himself, but the catcher can control the pace of the game just as much as the pitcher. AJ can do this better than Widger. AJ will see when Garland is a little of his knocker and go out there to calm him and slow things down. AJ also calls a better a game and will probably set Garland up for success more than Widger can. Now I have no problem with Wigder catching say Buhrle, Contreas (i suck at spelling), or even Garcia and Vazquez, but when you have a struggling pitcher use you number one catcher. I completely agree with you. Your spelling is awful.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) Let's go big Jon. Suck it up and find some Marbles! You don't work for a marbles manufacturer do ya?

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) This thread does suck. Too bad I wasn't here to put in my two cents. Went out for dinner for the big 1 9 birthday. Nice present should I say from the sox. Happy Birthday!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) Just tuned in. Why was Jose yanked? Pitch count? Explosive diarrhea

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) We can have 2 Aces! Good answer! Schilling and Beckett? Meh

So is Jose our ace or Mark?

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) For the record, this is the worst game thread ever. Only 15 pages people? Everyone is at the game I guess
