Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 20, 2004 It's absurd. This team can't hit ANYTHING below 91 MPH or above 94 MPH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2004 You know, I've almost accepted the who knuckler thing, and the real slow changeup issue this team has. Someone explain why no one can hit an 88 MPH palm ball. As someone famous once said, pitching is about disrupting the hitter's timing. It is not how fast the pitcher throws, but whether he can fool the batter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2004 I am predicting that the Red Sox are going to the world series, because when I watch baseball (rarely), the team I pick to win always does. I'm telling you man, the Sox are moving on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2004 I'm not afraid of Wake tomorrow. I have confidence with us hitting him for some reason. The reason I have a feeling we'll lose is because, ya know, KEVIN FUCKING BROWN is pitching. I'd rather start Vazquez tomorrow, honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IT'S TWO FUCKING MILES AN HOUR SLOWER THAN WHAT THEY NORMALLY GET. This isn't some slow looping 75 mph curve. It should not dumbfound one of the greatest lineups (on paper) ever.

mike546 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2004 This game reminded me of when we used to play the As when they were mad good in 2000. It was during the regular season, and we were playing in Oakland. I don't remember who it was, but this reliever they had did the same thing Foulke did. Outside corner EVERY pitch. And coincidentally, we didn't hit him either.

IT'S TWO FUCKING MILES AN HOUR SLOWER THAN WHAT THEY NORMALLY GET. This isn't some slow looping 75 mph curve. It should not dumbfound one of the greatest lineups (on paper) ever. When you stand in the batter's box, the ball arrives in about a second. Swinging and making contact is a matter of milliseconds. That's why the best hitters still get hits only 30-40% of the time. A few mphs here or there make all the difference in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Quik Report post Posted October 20, 2004 Seriously, I want Tony Clark to die. Grey hair at 32, amazing. He plays like he's 48, so it makes sense. Die die die die, where is John Olerud?
