SSH2005 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The rumor is that Big Vlad is injured. He isn't hitting at all and he's running like a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Looks like a lot of 4 seam fastballs so far. Well, it worked to start the game...and there's sometimes very little reason to show all of your pitches in the first inning, especially when people are trying to work the count. If he can get people on the 4 seamer and hold the 2 seamer for a couple innings...it'll catch people more off guard when it starts dropping. Has he thrown many breaking balls? It's been the off speed stuff, not the fastball/sinker, that has hurt him in the 2nd half. On games when he didn't have it working he'd give up some walks and get hit a few times.

His knee is bad, you can tell when he runs, he's limping badly or not running at all, and they said he has been icing his left shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to go off on a tangent here, but it baffles me how many people hate Manny on this site. He might be quite a strange fellow, but he's a phenomenal hitter.

In the 2nd inning of a game 3 in a 7 game series where the other team has a damn good bullpen, I'll take a 10 pitch at bat every time even if the guy does make an out. Wear that starter down, get the bullpen in early, and end up coming from behind to win game 5. The Yankees and A's both did it to the Angels a couple times this year. Once you get past Shields, K Rod, Donnely, and maybe Escobar, or even if you get those guys working 3+ days in a row...they really do wear down.

WHarris1 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 We gotta keep working these pitchers. They can't keep going to Donnelly, Shields, Kelvim, and KRod so early. Keep working the counts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Crede made an out, but props to him (and Uribe) for fouling off so many pitches. They elevated the pitch count, and even if nothing comes from these ABs, they have done good. Against a guy like Lackey, that's the best you can ask from the bottom of your lineup. More guys on this team need to elevate the opposing pitchers pitch count. 1-2 pitch at-bats by the Sox make me cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks to some nice at bats from the Rally Crede and Uribe, that was a 23 pitch inning for Lackey. He's thrown 39 through 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
