southsider2k5 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) What the hell is Pierre holding in his hands? Are those glove liners or something? He ALWAYS holds them when he's on the base paths. All of the Sox baserunners do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 So how long til the rest of the league figures out that low off speed stuff well out of the zone will get alexei out 100% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reason? Why not just leave them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Baker get him twice last night on low offspeed stuff out of the zone What are the best put out pitches to right handed hitters -Change up outside and low (LHP and RHP) -High heat up and in -Slider at the back foot (LHP) -Slider away (RHP) Those are probably the top ones.

Steve9347 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Man at 3rd, 1 out. AJ up. Normal game? Double Play. But we're slump busting today. The run WILL score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) AJP is flirting with worthlessness at the plate this year. No doubt in my mind we'd be a better team if Castro got to play every game against LHP. Also, no reason for Floyd to even pitch to Mauer. He's hitting over .650 vs RHP starters since ASB.

macsandz Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Why is it so difficult for Sox pitchers to keep the ball down in the zone the first 4 innings? Are these starters just tired from the insane amount of quality starts this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
