vs. CUBS, 8/24

[WEAVERMAN]

Anyone else got that 2012 Red Sox's feeling?

Not me, the CHC are hot team and we have stopped hitting, it's that simple. That doesn't mean we won't hit TB.

I thought. They won't push Manny off third I think.

Well that's one of the cons. Hard to move Manny off of 3rd and put him as SS especially after 2 knee surgeries. However sometimes though you have to take chances when your in a position like this. How often does a situation like this come along for the O's?

I say go get him, but that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Not a bit.

No, concerned about the offense, but that's been true for 2 years now for me.

This. Maybe under normal circumstances, but not coming off surgery.

The Matusz special, HBP. Please non tender this guy Duquette, bring back Miller, not Matusz.

Picthed yesterday didn't he?

No. Jimenez and Hunter.

Yep, when their hitting HR's they look great. When they don't they have to hit well with RISP or else they don't look good (poor OBP %).

Yes, this HR reliance is just too much.

He did fine. Now, let's go win this thing.

[eddie83]

Then why did he hit a weak grounder on a pitch down the middle? If that's the best you ca n do, then work the count.

Do you think he tried to get out? He thought it was a pitch he could handle, I see his logic in swinging at it. Not defending how we are hitting this weekend at all.

[Ori-Al]

Time to score, gentleman. Even if that means you don't try to pull every pitch in the outer third of the plate. Take whatever the pitcher gives you.

[O's84]

This. Maybe under normal circumstances, but not coming off surgery.

And that's a perfectly reasonable stance to take.
