Flash Tizzle Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) There's a grinder -- he gives everything during a game; whether it's a blowout or not. It'll be a moment like that he'll injure himself trying to stretch out to first to beat an infield single in a 10-0 game.

BearSox Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Little known fact... if you look up 'grinder' in the dictionary, there will be a picture of Darin Erstad and thats the ball game... Buehrle looked pretty good at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm sure we're near 40 DP's this spring training. It has been ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't pay that much attention in spring training when it comes to results with pitchers... I mainly just care how their stuff looks.

fathom Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Buehrle was throwing like 84-85 mph when I was watching. I sure hope he was pitching faster than that when I wasn't watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 QUOTE(G&T @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) Sox have 36 GIDP this spring. The most of any team in baseball, Oakland is just behind them at 35 and it's a pretty big drop off after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I watched the whole game and never saw Buehrle top 86 but that could have been the gun. Granted, I've never seen him top 88 at the Cell so maybe it's not that big a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 07:36 PM) I watched the whole game and never saw Buehrle top 86 but that could have been the gun. Granted, I've never seen him top 88 at the Cell so maybe it's not that big a deal. I saw a couple of 87s and 88s in the first inning. Like I've said before, I was in Tucson last year and he was topping out at 80 the game I was at. So he's a little better, but he is giving up a lot of hits.

BearSox Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I don't put much stock in the gun they have in spring training. It varies way too often, and I think it is at least 2-3 mph off most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
