Heads22 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 I mean, he was probably really focused and all that, but you think when someone gets to the big leagues for the first time they'd look at the back of the uniform once......

soxman352000 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I sent him a PM and he said thank you to me for congratulating him on making it to the big leagues. it was pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxman352000 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Baj is truly a great guy. He is I want to get out to the Cell and go see him pitch. i think he didn't look to bad against the Mariners. (Mabey he can be the closer of the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 It may not have looked too bad on TV, but being there, it pretty much sucked. I hope he can/will do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 It may not have looked too bad on TV, but being there, it pretty much sucked. I hope he can/will do better. what sucked about an infield hit, a ball chopped into the ground that went over the 1B head and a simple single to right??

Gene Honda Civic Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 what sucked about an infield hit, a ball chopped into the ground that went over the 1B head and a simple single to right?? I liked what I saw -- 12 pitches wasn't enough though -- It seemed like they jumped on him early after he got Jacobsen behind in the count with a couple FB's... He was pounding the zone, and maybe catching a little bit too much of the plate -- I'm sure he'll be fine in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Socks Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 His fastball looked like it was very straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'm not worried about Baj he is going to do fine. Just needs a little more experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Baj threw too many strikes if that makes sense. He had a guy 0-2, threw away a pitch, and then gave up a 1-2 base hit. You just can't do that. I'm thinking maybe the catcher (I think it was Davis) didn't know his stuff too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'd guess. Maybe he should try throwing the slutter tailing out of the zone more in those situations..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'm not worried about Baj he is going to do fine. Just needs a little more experience At least he threw strikes. I am sure it was just nerves because of his debut. I was hoping to see him tonight versus Texas on WGN, but no such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Baj looked fine to me. threw strikes. infield hit wasn't a bullet. Slap hit was typical Ichiro. And then a single. Props to Baj. He'll help us next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I was lucky to get seats behind the plate for that game (Thatnk to my booze distributor buddy!), and the pitches just looked to 'easy'. Not easy for me, I couldn't hit little league pitching. But from where I was sitting, he looked very hittable. Don't freak, I didn't say he sucked or anything, just that from being there, it didn't look all that good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Ya, Baj is one class act He mentioned to me that next time he'll throw more offspeed pitches. Go get em Baj, were all cheering for you to come through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Shhhhh... no telling his pitching secrets. There are spies everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 any votes for just putting 'baj' on the back of his uniform? It will also make things easier for those of us who enjoy scoring the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I think it be awesome for some of the soxtalk posters to start the Baj's Boyz club much akin to "Crede's Crew" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I think it be awesome for some of the soxtalk posters to start the Baj's Boyz club much akin to "Crede's Crew" Sounds too much like a Cubs fan club I am going to the game on Friday and sitting right behind the pen though... Anyone got any ideas for a sign with both Soxtalk and Baj? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I am going to the game on Friday and sitting right behind the pen though... Anyone got any ideas for a sign with both Soxtalk and Baj?

Steff Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I talked to him for just a second on Friday. Thanks Jeff. Very nice of you to take the time. Just curious... what did you say to Neal that he kept looking over at me...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
