Do'h. First.
I had one written out, waiting for the line-ups… oh well.
I’ll be tuning in and out, I have a Literature project due tomorrow. The good thing: ITBS testing, so no homework, and I’ll be here all week!
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!

About what I figured for tonight.
VS. a LHP means a good game to give Drew off. Lowell back in vs. the LHP, and there’s no reason for Cora to start 2 games in a row ever.

or I will shoot him.
No, really.

At some point he needs a
Tap on the shoulder/smack in the head about batting RHH like all the time now.
At his age, losing bat speed from his unnatural side (LH) seems pretty predictable, but the numbers don’t lie, and he’s been more than decent from the right side v. LHPs (.863). He probably wouldn’t be able to match that vs. RHPs, but any improvement would be awesome.

and maybe Lowrie could be so kind and decide for one side too

Jed's Minor League splits for 2008 are remarkable.
.794 OPS v. LHPs
.793 OPS v. RHPs
There’s some BABIP discrepancy there, though he hit more line drives vs. RHPs. I’m not sure we need to sell him on the idea of batting from just one side yet. He’s still in a normal adjustment period for the MLs.

oops, did not have the numbers in mind
just from watching i think for some switch hitters, just let it go because one side looks more natural
by OilCanBoyd on Oct 5, 2008 7:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, he's been weaker vs. RHPs lately, possibly all season in the bigs.
But his MiL numbers don’t bear out changing.
I’m actually all for switch-hitting as long as the player remains effective from both sides.

to be honest, he pretty much sucks against righties till now
still better him (he can develop) than Lugo

i am so nervous
more than in the others games just because of Beckett
i hope he is healthy and can show a little bit of his stuff…and no dramatic adventures while fielding the ball please

Dear Josh,
I have been putting up with your inconsistency all season long. You lost your position as ace, and you allowed Dice-K to become the 2nd best pitcher in the game. I put up with this, because I knew, lurking in your heart, was Playoff Beckett, the Texan God of Dominance. But now my faith is shaken. Now I wonder, was Nietszche right? Is Playoff Beckett dead? Or is he merely punishing us, testing our faith?
So to put this in words you’ll understand: Man up. Because I don’t want Wakefield or Byrd in this game.

Did you watch him pitch? He looks rusty, not injured. Good break on the curve and good movement and velocity on his fastball. He wasn’t able to put em where he wanted most of the night. Should he have started the 5th? I don’t think so. But he didn’t look hurt at all.

Smoke. And I'm glad Kevin Cash doesn't do what Tek does
for elevated fastballs. You can feel when someone stands up behind you.

Because HE always swings at high fastballs in 0-2 counts.

Though hopefully we won’t need him for another inning.

Sho'nough.
He’s not really a strike-thrower anyway, in terms of pitches that would be called strikes. Just gets that good movement and makes them look fat til they reach the plate.
