fathom Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 03:52 AM) I expect a thread about the lack of velocity, he continuing decline, or how we need to replace him. He really has to start mixing up his pitch selection on the first pitch. His fastball is not his best pitch anymore, and it's pretty average for a reliever.

Well, I AM concerned about the strikeout/IP ratio to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) or, more reasonably, let's just not sign him to a 50 million dollar extension. Who is signing him to a 50 million dollar extension. He is under control for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest hit was a bouncer that was pounded 3 feet in front of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DeJesus at bat was one where he needed to try and get the strike out though instead of giving him that first pitch to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexei thought he was safe. He wouldnt of moved into the dugout, took off his helmet and high fived a guy if he though the play was still active.

The ball tricked away from Buck, there was still time to go back and touch the plate. The job for the on deck hitter is to get behind the catcher (first base side) and point to where the hitter needs to slide to. If you look at the replay, PK was on the 3rd base side still. It all happened so quickly though, it's just fundamentals that you hope they learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Jenks starting to throw that change-up more. I would have loved to see some games of his when he was a starter. Good inning for Jenks, let's go CQ! I want to see a bat flip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give him time to make it back to the plate, but the minute he leaves the field of play the ump can call him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I still remember that game in Tampa where we lost 1-0 in 04, but had bases loaded, 2 outs, Olivo up with a 3-1 count. Piniella goes to the mound and the next two pitches are sliders away in the dirt and Olivo swung over both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well, much better that inning Bobby. I think with Teahan and Gathright on tap for the 11th, if Q doesn't end this here then you have to go to Logan for an inning next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
