bjm676 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Dammit, these Dog Day tix are hard to come by than Cub-Sox or Opening Day. I guess we'll have to wait till next year. Remember, no fireworks tonight if a Sox hit a HR. Don't want to scare the dogs. Let's hope that Johan's change still doesn't change. But the Twins bullpen still is pretty tight.

The Ginger Kid Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 ESPN made a good point when they said the Yankees have figured out that the best way to beat Santana is to up his pitch count and get into the bullpen. Not that it's a lock by any stretch, but at least you don't face Satan for nine innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take and take, you're gonna see a lot of called 3rd strikes. I'd rather go down swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isn't a good approach against Santana, if he's on, you're done. That being said, I would say hacking away probably is the best way to go because if you get in a two strike hole and have to protect against that changeup you're in a lot of trouble.

Not that it's a lock by any stretch, but at least you don't face Satan for nine innings. I have been saying this for years. Sit on the fastball and take three change-ups for strikes and sit down. I do not think hacking away is the way to go. I know this is easier said then done but the guy almost throws a perfect game at us all of the time. Let's hope this changes tonight. I think he tires easy but we don't even make him work. Odds makers have the Sox as a slight favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottawa_sox Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Seems to me Johan starts off every year a little on the cold side. Whether he is on a hot streak or not, he is one of those pitchers that you really want to be productive against in the 1st inning. I'd like to see the Sox be very patient against him in the first. See if they can get a couple on and make him pay - before he gets that changeup of his going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
