Get the f*** over it already, he is an average to below average, 1 tool player. the top of lineup is weak, and thats being really generous.

It all started with Iguchi going out of his way to pull an offspeed pitch with the infield back and no outs, runner on 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) People are hitting over 300 against him. Meanwhile, we are getting pitch by pitch radar gun reports of how hard Grienke is throwing by Hawk. I think Greinke might end up becoming the Royals' closer. Dotel has always been shaky since his injury problems, and Soria's best role is set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've drawn an insane few amount of walks since Thome went out....it was shocking to see someone lay off an offspeed pitch twice in one night on a full count.

danman31 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) Hell we have people on this board bashing our rookies who reach base every PA including hitting a homer. I haven't bashed Sweeney, I've just said he's overrated by a lot of people on here. QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) I like that the Royals rushed him. He had nothing left to accomplish in the minors. They know they're not competing for the title this year, so why not get him experience. Yeah, that's fair, and originally I didn't oppose the idea. However, there is a difference between experience and being overmatched and losing confidence. He never played at AAA so it wouldn't hurt to give him some time there if he doesn't show signs of improvement in the next week or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I keep hearing from the parrot in the booth that we are snapping out of this offensive slumber. Well he is right, we are hitting .232 over the last 7 days, that is statistically up from the pathetic .213 BA that we are having on the month of May so far. Dont worry, flip their baseball cards over and imagine them hitting. Its what our coaching staff does. Maybe if we collectively wish they might hit a ball.

CWSGuy406 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(danman31 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) My only problem is people will love or hate who they want. There's no way Podsednik wouldn't have kept that up. My hatred directed towards Podsednik is wrongly directed. It's not his fault that he really isn't healthy or a useful baseball player at this point in his career. I'm pissed that the Sox tried to sell the fans that he was a healthy ballplayer, because if he isn't 100% healthy, he's completely useless. And he's been supposedly hurt the past two seasons, yet the Sox are acting like his getting hurt was a complete shock. That's not to say you can predict injuries, but you have to weigh risks, and this was an awful risk that is jumping up and biting the Sox right in the ass. Also, keep treating me like a total piece of s*** and acting like you are never wrong about baseball. I really appreciate getting responses like you are making me laugh and that was the dumbest thing said on this board (the 2nd one wasn't you). I'm just stating an opinion and making observations. I'm not treating you like s***. You know way more than I do about the Sox' minor league system and I always appreciate your insight there. It just seems like -- and maybe I'm wrong -- you're not happy that Sweeney is succeeding with some of the comments you've made, like saying he's performed 'average' when in reality he's been the Sox best hitter since Thome has been gone, and ditto the comment about the walk.

southsideirish71 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Before tonight, Cy Grienke has a WHIP of 1.79 and people hit .344 against him. Then he started using 9 arm angles and realized that he was pitching against Brownie troop 104 from Oak Lawn, and decided to work them over.

I know he's supposed to have more control, but he doesn't get much movement with that pitch. Maybe Jim Morris from The Rookie is still available. That was a gutsy 3-2 pitch by Sisco. Hopefully he won't walk the next guy. And Ozzie's allowing Sisco to face a righthander...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times he hasn't cleared his hips on inside pitches this year, he's hit weak grounders on the infield. When he's opened up on the slow stuff, he's hit rockets.

Teahen owned the Sox last year. Sisco taking lessons from Contreras? For the record, I would have stayed with Greinke...but Bell wants to build on the success of tonight and not let him lose the game I guess, and he's never been called to save a game in his life, I would imagine.
