Buehrle>Wood Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Did OCab really just simply challenge him? Surely there has to be some history there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) OC acts like an a-hole and "challenges" balfour to throw strikes, Balfour does and whiffs him actually, two of the pitches OC swung at were balls. he should have walked.

Brian Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) It might be nice if next year we can teach our guys how to shorten their swings up on 2 strikes with men on. Especially the small non-linebacker types. Bases loaded and we have big swings and no idea of what a strike is. Carl Everett drove me nuts sometimes, but he was awesome at shortening his swing with 2 strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I didn't figure we'd win this game with Vazquez starting, but you HAVE to get a run with the bases loaded in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 There are some positives from this game, Richard so far has stepped up big, we prob seen the last of Vazquez, and Joe West wont be behind the plate the rest of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) There was no pinch hitter because the Sox have no one who can play 3b respectably. If they put in Fields TB starts bunting and trying to abuse him. A lot of the Sox problems stem from managing and roster decisions, how they have no one else who can play 3b defensively is a joke. Fields is also half hurt, he's scheduled for knee surgery at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) who cares? Swisher has a better chance of giving a quality AB there, score runs and worry about it because if they don't they're going to lose anyway Ok...but that's still the reason, most likely.

southsideirish71 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) Cabrera has almost 6000 AB's in his major league career. I know you hate Walker, but do you really think he had any influence on that AB or approach? Really? He is not going to be here next year. I want this drilling into their heads in ST and through the year, so when a person is up at this point of the year they think contact with men on like this. You can't change this now. That approach was more about Cabrera being a douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) The Sox put Fields on the playoff roster specifically in case we decide to ph for Uribe. If you don't ph for him there, you're never going to ph for him. Uribe has not swung the bat well for a while now. The Fields thing is not going to happen. Not this year at least. The Sox dont particularly like him, and he hasnt done much. He's on the roster for pure last resort situations.

fathom Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) Balfour isn't a kid. He was a hack pitcher, probably got on HGH, and is throwing about 5 mph faster than he ever has. Probably? He absolutely, positively did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Uribe and OC have left 9 men on base today. Certainly not their best day, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowch Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 God damn, why couldn't we at least get one in last inning? Well heart of the order/vets coming up. Thome and Griffey MUST be hungry. Crush the damn ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) Cabrera is on a whole other level for me. Vazquez has really gone down my list over the last 4 weeks or so, but I didn't like how Cabrera acted on day 1, and nothing has changed. I can't stand the cocksmoker. He makes me miss Royce. Does it frustrate you as much as it does me when people try to say OC is a good guy and that Cowley's the only one who doesn't like him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
