I smell a W for Danks!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Weaver has already struck out more Sox in his career

Fidrych vs. Sox: 2-1, 2.60 ERA, 27.2 IP, 29 H, 4 BB, 3 K.

it might time to start putting him in the same category as Johan Santana…. Why show up?

1 run in 13 innings, 10 hits, 15:1 K/BB ratio

Walker is going to petition the league

1.) Changeups should be outlawed. The pitch itself is evil, and scares the bats.
2.) Pitchers must challenge hitters over the middle of the plate. If they go low and away a run goes up on the board for your team.
3.) If a ball is hit super high, it counts as a home run. We have figured that Crede hit 98 home runs in 05 alone.
4.) Right field is out.

At least these strikeouts are running up his pitch count

Weaver wasn’t able to make it passed the 6th in his two previous starts against he Sox, and it wasn’t because he was getting hit… it had to do with his pitch count… 107 and 114

Well the powerhouse offense in Kansas City

Shellacked him for 8 runs over 3 1/3.

But Hawk tells us, his velocity is up. That and the fact that our team doesn’t adjust to low and away. Opposing pitching coaches must snicker when they prepare for our team. Pitch to one spot and put it on autopilot.

The hitting coach is the hardest thing to do in baseball. If you tell the hitters what to do, like move up on the plate. None of them will listen.

I said this before and I'll keep saying...

They need to fire Greg Walker. Two and 1/2 years of no hitting bullshit and this guy is still around! They didn’t keep Razor Shines around for God knows what, and they keep this fucking piece of shit around. I still remembered when he played for the Sox … He sucked then and he sucks now. My only problem with Ozzie is he is exactly like the Bush administration…Loyalty seems more important then logic. Fire this loser NOW!!!!!

My only problem with trading Garland was we got this loser for him....

Could have gotten more. But, I don’t blame Cabrera, I think Walker has done a lot to ruin him. Just look at Rowand’s numbers when he left.

by Los Soxos on May 13, 2008 11:43 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But Rowand said...

“During the last couple of years, I learned a lot about myself and my swing,” said Rowand, who hit .309 in 2007, with 27 home runs, 45 doubles, 89 RBIs and 105 runs scored. “[In Chicago] I depended on [Walker] to watch and break down every one of my swings, and I leaned on him and depended on him too much, instead of learning a feel.

“Milt Thompson is Philadelphia’s hitting coach, and I have nothing bad to say about Milt whatsoever. But he doesn’t break down your swing mechanically the way that Walker does. He’s more of a feel guy than about mechanics with the swing.

“So it’s almost like I became my own hitting coach and had to make adjustments myself,” Rowand added. “I’m already out swinging right now. Two months have gone by, and normally when I start hitting, I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. This year, I feel like I’m right there still.”

Cabrera is awesome...

I’m sure the Angels want him back.

Nice AB Thome...

I’m starting to think Thome is nearing retirement.

I think Walker hasn't had a one-on-one with Quentin...

That’s why doesn’t suck as bad. Can you guys tell I really hate this guy? He was my least favorite Sox player growing up.
