fathom Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 07:10 PM) another high changeup I wish we'd just tell Garland to never throw a changeup again. It seems like he keeps it up at least 50 pct of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) I wonder if we're going to lead the world in called third strikes again this year? At least Pods truly is the catalyst. Fun stat: Podsednik struck out 96 times last year, 49 of those K's were looking. That's over 50% of the time. It's incredibly hard to find players who even top 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Why can't he get the ball down on a consistent basis..... Nobody is missing the mistakes either or maybe it is just an inordinate about of mistakes being made by our starters. For the fourth time today we are reminded the Twins won the division and not the Tigers. Why is that so important.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Garland's going to have 90+ pitches by the end of this inning. If this keeps up for all the starters, our bullpen will have more innings than our starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they can make it to 1000 They made some great acquisitions for their offense this offseason w/o having to spend a lot of money. Nixon was someone I was hoping we'd look at to play LF.

Allsox Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Martinez was too comfortable in that AB. Someone's gotta tell Cooper and AJ that one inside fastball to any hitter, let alone Martinez, isn't enuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 89 pitches for JG through 4. So who gets the 2 inning performance today? I'd vote we give it to Masset or Sisco again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor. 7 hits, 4 walks in 4 innings. 89 pitches, 49 strikes, 40 balls. Lotta stuff up in the zone. He was squeezed some by the ump, but that became less of a concern when the Tribe started hammerign everything. Pitching at 91 mph or slower according to Gameday.

I have another fun stat that related to this point. Scott Podsednik struck out looking 47 times last season, in his ENTIRE CAREER Juan Pierre has struck out a total of 46 times looking.

Frankensteiner Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Is it out of the realm of possibility to think about the Sox making a pitching acquisition at some point this season? Or are we in the same "we've got to win with what we've got" mode that we were stubbornly in last year. Not that I know of anyone that would be available, but we're going to have to upgrade here if this team wants to contend this season and beyond.
