fathom Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Alexei really needs to calm down on 2nd base. There's no way that's not distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Ugh @ OC. Why did he even take the bat off his shoulder on that check swing for strike 2. Pitch was never a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Swisher hits a "rocket" at 2nd base. Is that 4 times today we've had 1st and 2nd with 1 out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to make a smart remark about Swisher and Konerko's bating averages meting each other real soon, but you say he hit it hard at least?

No...it was about as soft a chopper as you can hit. Just a pathetic swing on a 2-0 pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really doesn't even hit the ball hard right now. Soft grounders and pop-ups, there is no reason Anderson shouldn't be given some playing time.

Princess Dye Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Glad Danks is still in. This game is important enough and this bullpen has been bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The more I hear Leo Mazzone analyze, the more I think that Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux would have been great even if Nardi Contreras was their pitching coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Danks has seemed to find a groove right now. I know he is gonna be up there in pitch count, but I'd let him go one more inning, but ready to pull him after an at-bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't throw many pitches in the 6th so let him have the 7th, or we can score a ton of runs and go to the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
