bobbob1313 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 And speaking of DHs: .913 OPS for Ortiz. Maybe he needs to start Spring Training in January. It's taken him about a month to get going the last couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Maybe he needs to start Spring Training in January. It's taken him about a month to get going the last couple of years.He basically started off 2010 the way he did 2009: two months of horrible hitting. He was able to turn it around for the better part of last season after those two months. He very well could go back to prolonged slumping and I'd welcome seeing the DH spot go to a better bat at that point. Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 He basically started off 2010 the way he did 2009: two months of horrible hitting. He was able to turn it around for the better part of last season after those two months. He very well could go back to prolonged slumping and I'd welcome seeing the DH spot go to a better bat at that point.He was great in May of this year but seems to have settled back down in June. (Although his home run off of Lincecum the other day was pretty sweet.) Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Speaking of bullpen herpes, I think Roy Halladay may have had a touch of the Brad Lidge Disease today. Doc blew a late lead by serving a fat one to Jay Bruce, and, of course, the Phils lost another game they should have won. Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Marlins game on espn is delayed, sothey are showing NESN's coverage ofthe Sox game. Can one of you guys contact the guy with the wicked accent and tell him to start quoting Good Will Hunting to make it more entertaining? What??!!! Jerry Remy is one of the MOST entertaining, lively, comic, & spontaneous color commentators out there. I know it's him you refer to because Don Orsillo has no noticeable New England accent. Edit: Every other game it seems like these guys crack each other up into laughing fits on air for an inning. Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Jerry Remy is excellent...if you are a Sox fan. And I am, so he is excellent. He is a homer, but a good one. Now Suzyn Waldman, she is a horror show. And her Yankee colleague, John Sterling, who says, "All the way to the wall" in a sing-song voice and "Back to back to back, belly to belly to belly" and the ridiculous call when Teixeira hits a home run - he is the absolute worst. And not because I am a Sox fan. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 With I was getting the NESN fee. I'm getting Spain v. Portugal World Cup repeat... I love listening to Remy/Orsillo (and not just because I'm a Sox fan). The guys know their stuff and are entertaining. The laughing fits are classic. Link to post Share on other sites

And not because I am a Sox fan.I have XM radio, so I can listen to any game I want, but I rarely listen to the Yanks solely for the above reasons, especially Suzy. I'd listen to the Yanks if Charlie Steiner were still there, but he's with the Dodgers splitting time with Vin Scully, so their games are awesome to listen to. I listened to Giants game today because I wanted to listen to Jon Miller, and I even caught a bit of the Cleveland game because I like Tom Hamilton, too. The Red Sox radio broadcast is okay, but nothing special. Not to me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The Rangers are set to acquire Bengie Molina from the Giants. I think catcher was the only hole in their position players, so I guess this settles that. Link to post Share on other sites

I think catcher was the only hole in their position players, so I guess this settles that. I remember like 2 years ago the Rangers had three really highly regarded young catchers in Max Ramirez, Taylor Teagarden, and Jarrod Saltalomacchia. It was considered an embarassment of riches! Baseball's a funny game. Kind of leaves the catching position in SF open to a lot of inexperience/potential problems.... Maybe. Buster's a pure hitter, he should be fine, and it's not like Molina was doing much anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I was just trying to be funny... I dug it, bobo. I love John Sterling because he's like the embarrassing uncle of all Yankee fans. Suzie though, I can't even pretend to try. Link to post Share on other sites

It was considered an embarassment of riches! Baseball's a funny game. Tell me about it. I think Salty finally re-learned how to throw the ball back to the pitcher, but he's only hitting .250 in OKC. And Teagarden is in Double-A right now, I think. Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Double can job in the desert: D'backs fire both manager and general manager. 80's hero Kirk Gibson named interim manager. I hope he doesn't expect his kind of effort from today's players. He'll lose what little hair he has left. That A.J. Hinch hiring from last May smelled rotten from the beginning. Something tells me he'll be sticking to front office work from here on out. Link to post Share on other sites
