True

Rex Hudler and "The Hawk" Harrleson (White Sox) are the two worst broadcasters in the business. I hate when we play those two teams and MLB.TV only carries their feeds. Those are the games when I mute the picture and listen to the delayed Seattle radio broadcast (or it may be the other way around.

by thenatural on Mar 27, 2008 7:31 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you can throw knuckle ball changeups?

I saw the Caple piece, and he has a knuckler that he trows at almost 80 MPH. Conceivably if he threw the slow knuckler, he could use his fastball more to "blow hitters away" or maybe not. I'm just talking out my ass.

Felix quotes today

"I threw a lot of strikes," Hernandez said. "They were swinging at the first pitch and they scored two runs on me before I realized it and started mixing it up."

"My [changeup] was unbelievable," Hernandez said. "It's the first time it's been like that. The intensity was there and my arm feels good. I'm ready."

if Raul is up and the pitcher is right handed, things will work out well. If the pitcher is left handed, it's an out.

First I've seen of Sexson this season.

Looks pretty good, I have to say. Shortened up his swing, looks like.

...as he strikes out.

Is it just me

Or is the prospect of watching this Wilkerson ass-clown all season pretty depressing. At least Guillen cut people.

Wait for it

Wilkerson just got hit on the elbow. He's going to charge the mound any second now....any second now.....okay, he's going into the dugout.......he's coming back to charge the mound, though.

If so, he needs to learn how to hit a breaking pitch

Why are you wasting time posting on a blog, kid? Start talking to Cairo about what it takes to be a veteran.

I was thinking my alternate SN could be...

URADickey. But then I realized that I'm too lazy to switch back and forth between names.

As a followup...

I was also hoping his first name was Richard. I'm slightly disappointed.

Maybe during interleague play

Dickey can have a funk blast.

One hit over 5

And he may not get the 11th spot in the bullpen.

Even given that, I'd prefer keeping Baek. Dickey has options, right?

Dickey is Rule 5

If he doesn't make the roster, we give him back to the Twins.
