Milkman delivers Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Speed has nothing to do with reading a ball off a bat. He should be better than a Little Leaguer at reading a ball off a bat, though. He should then be a GG-caliber OFer with his speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) I'm glad that Rowand, like the rest of us, figured out that Pods is an awful fielder. I guess it shows they know a lot about each other. I don't blame Pods for losing the ball in the lights, it happens. The guy just does stuff like this all the time. I can't understand how a guy with his speed can just be so bad out there. Anyway, great play by Aaron. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All the time? Try twice this year. Yes, this makes him such a horrible defender. CURSE YOU OUTFIELDERS FOR NOT HAVING A 1.00 FIELDING PERCENTAGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant he does things like not get reads on the ball all the time. Oh, and STFU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Now THAT is funny...just imaginging a catcher spinning around to position himself under a ball he cannot really see... My best moment was tracking a foul ball near the backstop. As a good catcher I would carry my mask with me until I was under the ball, then throw it far away. That way I wouldn't trip on it if the ball drifted. So I'm under the ball, I throw the mask and her AWWWWWW s***. I threw it directly into the Umps balls. The game was delayed for 30 minutes while he recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelatinoheat_30 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 02:54 AM) I just thought this play deserved some mentioning. To be honest, I've never seen that play in the majors before, you look at the start of the play where Rowand was positioned and it's absolutely amazing for him to get to that ball. Just an absolutely fantastic play by Aaron, possibly a game saver. This play is almost symbolic of how this season has been, everyone on the team chipping in, players bailing their teammates out in certain situations. To Aaron To the White Sox I absolutely love this team, they can go along way people, lets enjoy it. exactly what i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not luck, its hustle. If Aaron half asses it, the play doesn't get made. That is the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That funky motion Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) I'm glad that Rowand, like the rest of us, figured out that Pods is an awful fielder.

I can't understand how a guy with his speed can just be so bad out there. Anyway, great play by Aaron. He gets the worst jumps on balls. Carl gets better jumps. The difference is Pods has the speed to cover a lot of his mistakes! To many ball fall in front of him for base hits. I can deal with it because of his O. Lets hope A-Row will work with him.
