TitoMB345 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) What? There are tons of major leaguers that cut it with a 91 mph fastball. Sorry, I meant a 91 MPH fastball exclusively. I haven't seen him mixing up his pitches much at all. He needs to work the rest of his pitches in better.

Capn12 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 And now Santana settles in, which is great news for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 God damnit. I realize Johan is a f***ing stud but this is disgusting. For the amount of times we face him you can't afford to just roll over and die each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 12:21 PM) Santana doesn't count any in rule of managing. Someone should have flooded the field today so it was postponed. I've said this for 4 years now, but Santana is the only pitcher we face who I expect to beat us. Haha. Ya, I can't remember ever feeling this way about a pitcher. I guess the exception would be Pedro who I always felt that when his prime was pretty much an auto loss (especially if he weren't on the Expos for part of his prime).

We always try to work the count vs Santana, and it doesn't work. Even if he'll walk a few guys, you still have to be aggressive and get some hits against him. We're just not getting a lot of hits right now. Thankfully we won our last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 How many one-hitters does Santana usually throw in a season against every other team in baseball? He must honestly do it three times a year to the Sox. I seriously mean that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that would've been a great little addition. I'm thinking the best we can hope for is that Santana can only go 7 innings and we can make a comeback against whoever pitches the 8th before Nathan shuts us down.

fathom Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think our AA team would have a better chance hitting Santana than these guys do. Someone might want to tell Uribe that he throws a changeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we'll be the worst hitting team against LHP this year. When you face Santana and C.C. 12 times a year, it's very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Johan's got 76 pitches through 5 innings. If we can get some moderately good at-bats in the next two innings, we might get a crack at a reliever other than Nathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
