I'm not being one of those
But he’s prone to those 4-5 run bursts, and the earlier they can get to the tired pen the better.

and just think
we could have brandon mccarthy not pitching for the sox until august right now instead.
Don't slide kiddies
visual representation that running through the base is faster
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Isn't the theory there that danks could have tagged him if he didn't slide?
Not saying running through the base isn’t faster
Both feet on the bandwagon.
that is the ONLY time to slide, if you foresee a bad throw and need to avoid a tag.
but if it’s a race to the bag, no way no how.
Half Dome is my bitch. Shasta is next.
by Toonderstrook on Jun 20, 2008 3:14 PM CDT up reply actions
nope
inertia is broken….that is why you have the ability to run through first and no other base.
Slight delay in time taken to drop bat and get a-movin’, whereas you get a lead off every other bag.

confused about the "nope"

i was agreeing with your "no way no how"
it was a negative agreement.
makes perfect sense, no?
by homesickalien on Jun 20, 2008 3:19 PM CDT up reply actions
negative. i mean, yes.
Half Dome is my bitch. Shasta is next.
by Toonderstrook on Jun 20, 2008 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions
not exactly the same concept there
considering what part of the body needs to reach something first in each case. but, yeah, sliding not good.
a double swish!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
at least it foreclosed bitching about a pop up.

Crede looks fucking awful...
First, he takes a strike 3 that the ump doesn’t call.
Then he swings at a piece of garbage pitch way low and away.
ROFL!!!

They call that a strike?
Good news: another Dnaks leadoff inning coming up.
Danks’ ABs are looking better than Crede today.

he should be leading off instead.

terrible inning on so many levels
stranding swisher
no more insurance runs
not clearing the pitchers spot.
Crede was fucking brutal
Ending Danks day (after bottom of 6th)
Thome vs. Lily to lead off 7th…
Shitty fucking inning… Big momentum shift (if there is such a thing in baseball)
AIM: SouthSideCheat
no confirmation on the momentum shift yet...
but that single continues the foreboding.
by homesickalien on Jun 20, 2008 3:29 PM CDT up reply actions
Danks will stay in
if he doesn’t get hit around in the 6th.

I say you bat Danks
This has been a pitching & defense kind of game, Danks is dealing for the most part, he’s only got 85 pitches. Keep him in.
Both feet on the bandwagon.

Did Brenly say earlier that BA is hard to walk? Granted he hacks away at times, but over his career, both MiLB and MLB, hasn’t he maintained very high OBPs??
PS – first post… been lunking for years, finally decided to register today. Thanks to all y’allz for the great site.
I cannot answer any more questions for you today. I has wickeds gas from drink too manys redbull.
BA never walks
but he does swing away at those down and away sliders!

probably too hard to figure out with accuracy yet
small-ish sample sizes for both. with three innings to go, i’d probably go with the hotter hitter.

SOP in the NL.
If the game is close, and it’s past the sixth inning, the starter gets pinch-hit for.
I don’t know why NL fans act like this is rocket science – most managers follow the same book.

I definitely prefer the DH from an aesthetics perspective

You're supposed to ph for the pitcher there according to The Book
iirc anyway

Why wasn't Cabrera bunting there?
