Kyyle23 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Boone has looked somewhat nasty the last two times he has come in (Morneau and Teahen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Good plan. Until a lefthander proves they can touch your slider, why throw another pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've seen enough of Boone against lefties to trust him. Once he got a strike on Teahan I felt good. That's a major change from me thinking he was almost as good as automatic runs for the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(BMac Attack @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:16 AM) hahahaha Hawk on Erstad: "We knew he was good, he's better than we thought he was." The scary thing is they were saying this when he was batting .125. I can't wait to see him in the lineup against a LHP tomorrow. That .400 OPS is overrated.

CWSGuy406 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 QUOTE(danman31 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) Sweeney's at bat sucked ass before Grienke came nowhere near the plate. Sweeney's swings were awful, but he showed a good eye on that backdoor curve. Sweeney is the only hitter on this club that gets credit for a walk, most of the rest of the hitters it goes unmentioned. You see what you want to... What a joke. Greinke buried a beautiful changeup on 3-2 just below the knees and Sweeney laid off of it beautifully. You're just pissed that Sweeney is doing better than you expected. You called out a poster last week for saying Sweeney would be hitting (insert batting average) after the week was over. He's probably not going to continue this up, but give the guy some credit. He's one of two hitters (Uribe the other) who looks competent at the plate as of right now.

No, he caught it just below the knees. You watch it again. Kid's 1-for-1 with 2 BBs and a homer and you're b****ing about people being a little excited that he's one of the few competent hitters in the lineup. No, a joke was this past half inning.

southsideirish71 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The theory of lift and pull as an offensive strategy needs to be put to bed on the southside forever. This is a f***ing joke that this craphole pitching staff of the Royals is holding us to 3 runs. The Tigers put a 9 spot on this crap, The indians would put a 9 spot on this. The aenmic Oakland offense torched them for 17 runs, and no they are looking like Cy Young again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greinke has an excellent change-up, and Sweeney took the 3-2 pitch beautifully. Way too many hitters on this team don't know how to work the count for a walk. I think Thome has more walks than the rest of the team combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
