ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Well maybe the fact that WGN-HD does no longer come in at my house for some reason played a part there, because it looked to me like the ball hit 2-3 feet up the wall. Maybe I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) Kotsay with another "unlucky" grounder to short. If only he was lucky and grounded it between some infielders To me, it seems like Kotsay is much better against sinker ball pitchers than high fastball pitchers. And jeez Alexei, STOP BUNTING!

And jeez Alexei, STOP BUNTING! It's because Kotsay has a massive dip in his swing. He wants to uppercut everything and usually ends up tomahawking the ball into the ground.

fathom Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Baltimore is hitting Gavin extremely well right now. Seems to be throwing a flat slider instead of his good big curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what's funny, I really feel like that Vizquel check swing on a pitcher over his head was the biggest play of the game so far. Millwood was on his way to walking the first two hitters, and the entire dynamic of the game changed after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 There is no reason on earth that we should not destroy the Orioles over the next 3 games. They are f***ing terrible and their pitching staff is terrible. These games need to be won as this race will remain tight as our manager insists on handicaping our team with a terrible DH. Our GM needs to do a better job Ozzie-proofing the lineup. No more sucky left handed scrappy hitters. He falls in love with them, and overuses them.

With Rios fading fast, our lineup has gone back to being below average. There's just not a lot of power in our lineup besides PK and CQ, and with the vast number of outs we make on the bases, the execution needs to be perfect.

qwerty Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 To be fair to floyd, if he does end up with a bad to terrible line, he has pitched his f***ing balls off the last 11 starts. You have to get hit sooner or later, sometimes even against terrible teams, that's just the odds. Now let's just hope the sox can put up 6-7 in the next couple innings... so that it won't hurt us if he does indeed end up giving up a few.

I don't understand why Viciedo isn't in the lineup. Millwood is a perfect guy for him to face. Sub standard stuff that can be squared up by a power guy. Kotsay is a slappy sucky automatic out that is currently the protection for CQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
