Kalapse Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 06:33 PM) I think the results will be a little higher than that. I think the true percentages should be a little bit lower than that. Lower in 1 and higher in 2 that is We'll see, it seems like a very small segment of Sox fans have taken the negative approach prior to this season and anyone with the desire to text some dumbass poll during a Sox broadcast is more than likely pretty optimistic about this season.

Yah. tahts what im saying. The ones who will text message are probably pretty optimistic. So I think it will be higher than your number of 73% for 90 wins. I think the true percentage of what we will do is a litlte bit below 73% for 90 wins. Edited March 30, 2007 by jphat007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) Wow more Grindstad this inning, I cannot wait. Is there a more boring hitter in all of baseball? At least s***ty hitters like Juan Uribe mix it up a bit or blast one every once in a while with Erstad it's either a ground out to second or a blooper in front of the LF.

southsideirish71 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Changeups low and away are the Sox Kryptonite. Walker is probably upset that James isnt playing to their gameplan by challenging over the middle of the plate. Damn sneaky lefty, how do they get away with this.

Kalapse Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hawk just got muted. Get used to that, we're going to be seeing A LOT of solo homeruns from the 3 hole. SMALL BALL HOOOOO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Now Paulie hit that ball up the middle last time up, and now James tried to get one in and left it over the plate and he kills it. Taking away that outer corner will allow the sox to just kill a team, because it will force them to come back in. Nice piece of hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francouer refused to play for any team but the Braves, he threatened not to sign with any team that drafted him because of how badly he wanted to play for his hometown team. There wasn't much scouting involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 3 young studs, all of whom were from Atlanta. Just one of the mysteries of life. Similar to Minnesota and their scouts. Oh sure, we're willing to emulate the Twins organization on the field; but when it comes to their ability to scout and develop, it's impossible to match. It just seems people have concluded that's the way things are, shrug their shoulders, and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle can probably hit 90 every now and then. In 2005 he threw a fastball at 94 Edited March 30, 2007 by southsida86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hit 94, check the gun because its broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to kick Hawk because he is skipping. He keeps repeating the same 5 or 6 names of baseball players he compares several members of the sox too.

jphat007 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Good pitch. Hopefully he can take those one or two great abs, and one or two terrible abs location wise and get them down to solid location for pretty much every hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another surprise is I don't believe I've heard either Hawk or DJ comment on the Garcia/McCArthy deals for more than a minute. They've yet to explain the moves (in their minds) or try to sell us on the potential of the players received. Very odd. You almost wonder whether they're fans of the deals.

His control is even more important than the velocity he lost last year. Even at 87, if he gets the ball up and too much of the plate he will get hit hard. He's been able to paint for so many years, I just hope he can get back to that. When he's on a roll, its a 2 minute inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on a roll, its a 2 minute inning. When Mark is at his best, he sets up right handers with a cutter that starts in and just digs in on their hands. It has a tight rotation, and is very hard to put into play fair. It sets up everything. He can then go away with the changeup and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
