Heads22 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I smell back to back home runs by PK and Jimmy. Of course, that might just be stir fry I'm smelling, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'll take a 4 pitch walk as well. Is it too early to pinch run with BA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Against righties that are good against righty hitters, this is where it really hurts the Sox that 2/3 of our lefty hitters suck this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You do see it coming right? Sox trash Greinke last night and will follow it up by getting shutdown by this scrub pitcher. They already have that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Swisher. Wondering if him hitting that dinger last night was the best thing that could have happened? I'd have been just as happy with a rope into the gap.

In his first two years with the Sox, he hit into 14 double plays total. This year, he's already at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 04:47 PM) Meaning? Meaning...first, those guys are faster than say, Konerko, who's in front of him now. Second, compared to early in the season where he was hitting behind Cabrera and Swisher, and even when he was dropped a bit behind Q and JD, He's probably seeing more people on base now than in previous years.
