Chisoxfn Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 In terms of Lackey looking hittable. If you watch him throw one or two pitches you'd say, wow he's hittable. Than you watch him over the whole game and you'll see how he spots his FB in/out and up and down in the zone as well as moves his breaking stuff around the plate. That combination turns a guy who doesn't have eye popping stuff (his FB & Curve are both good pitches though) into one of the best pitchers in the AL.

daa84 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 it seems like a great majority of our baserunners in the last 5 or so games have been erased by double plays or base running mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I love that Thome can't hit anything AND complains to the umps about balls and strikes. How bout hit the cookie you are getting every at bat and you won't have to worry about the umps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what other mistakes there were. OC would have been safe on anything but a solid throw and had he not hesiated initially would have been safe. I'm not so sure i'd call it a baserunning blunder, rather an agressive out. In terms of DP's, most of this lineup rolls over on things (for f*** sake, half of the lineup is hovering the mendoza line) and as a result you have pretty good odds of seeing a DP. The Sox need to drastically adjust this lineup and add a hitter or two into it (and sacrifice a little power by moving two people like Thome/Konerko/Swisher/Uribe).

Chisoxfn Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That would have been a great catch given how much ground he had to cover to get there. Too bad, now the Angels are in a prime spot to take the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 CQ with a good effort...Angels are close to taking the lead and likely wrapping up the sweep. This offense this series is reminiscent of the Blue Jays debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Either move Thome down in the lineup to 7 or 8, or see if you can jump start him by putting him 2nd in the order. No reason to pitch to Kotchman here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
