vs. Athletics 7-28

Have fun, SO CAL. Ask him if he thinks Mike Scioscia would like to switch teams after the season is over. :laughlol:

Hmm, Pops is not a fan. He says we can have him. He says I don't appreciate our current field general. Lol

Wow, 94 on the black. Colon's stuff is a lot better than I thought it was. Holding up well with age.

:laughlol::laughlol::laughlol:

Well, Palmer's going to have to find a new way to make fun of Hunter's repertoire--can't just say anymore that all he has is a mediocre fastball around the plate and that "little cutter or whatever it is."

Well I must admit that I have agreed and still do agree with Palmer about Hunter's repetoire. I have no idea where these K's are coming from. Basically Hunter has a craptasstic pitch to contact repetoire similar to Brad Bergesen. At least that's what I have seen.

If Quintanilla keeps hitting like this, what's going to happen when Andino is ready to come back?

Good idea, I would love to see him managing Tampa, them maybe the O's would have a shot at Maddon.

He had a procedure last year that resulted in a substantial velocity gain.

I dunno, those curves and sliders have had good movement on them and he's locating well with the fastball. Do need good D behind him, though, for him to succeed. And for Teagarden to catch more of those pitches--and not groundout with RISP like he just did!

Even if we don't get Maddon, we could have a shot at getting Madden.

Taylor Teagarden: a back-up catcher that hits like a....pitcher.

I think it's a sign of how surprisingly good Hunter's breaking stuff suddenly is. They can't even decide whether to swing or not!

That is possible. You never know what went on in AAA. It's just very surprising to see Tommy Hunter striking guys out.

[LA2]

Nicely located two-seamers by Hunter.

I'm worried about Teagarden PBs/Hunter WPs leading to a crucial run later...

[LA2]

I thought that was a hit. Perfectly timed leap by Q. Another DD find?

"Quintanilla is working hard to keep his roster spot."

Don't know where these K's are coming from, but I don't care. Tommy Hunter erasing the Tommy "Contact" Hunter label. Liking it.
