If Floyd would just throw strikes...

This ump’s zone is pretty large and Floyd could dominate them if he keeps hitting the inside corner.

I love how D.J. thinks that fouling off pitches with two strikes is a totally new thing...

that no one ever did when he was playing.

D.J., you never fouled off pitches with two strikes because you sucked.

I'll take that inning any day of the week from Gavin

and twice on Tuesdays…

Just sayin'.

Considering how long it took Vazquez, Contreras and Floyd to make noticeable improvements, I’m not sure why anybody’s looking at him as a this-year option.

I CAN'T STAND IT.

Good point

He would be a good project if we didn’t have to give up too much for him and the division were out of reach.

did you check the twins score jim?

Nope.

KC announcers mentioned it, didn’t look it up . Only noted the Tigers score because people here had been talking about Cabrera as an option.

Way too early for scoreboard watching.

Thank god Joey made that a quick out.

Didnt want to hear Hawk and DJ talk for 10 minutes on how fast he is again.

I always like reading articles about the physics/science of baseball

I found this one interesting

About the time the batter starts to swing—when the ball is about nineteen feet from home—the batter’s eyes suddenly jump to where he anticipates the bat–ball meeting will take place. Why? Because it’s the only way the eye can move fast enough to keep up with the incoming ball. Now that mental model comes into play. Across that brief gap, the ball’s arc is computed by the brain without further reference to the real world. By the time the batter’s eyes pick up the actual ball again, it’s too late in the swing to reposition the bat.

Offense decides 9 runs over 2 games still equals close to 5

Would it even matter if the Sox had Fields at 3B?

Crede is brutal.

1 ER for Floyd and 1 ER for Crede.

Crede makes his share of run saving wow plays as well

Overall I think his defense has been about average. Around an 800ops as well. Can’t say I’m dissapointed in Crede so far. And I was calling for fields all spring

by madvillian on Jul 19, 2008 7:16 PM CDT   0 recs

Tied for 2nd in AL in fielding winshares at 3B

According to hardball times.
