7 pitch AB against the starter with the best ERA in the AL.

Maybe ensberg woulda hit it.

by melvintoast on Aug 5, 2007 1:18 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Last time I checked, it doesn't matter who

you face. You still do your job.

His .234/.288/.532 line over the last 14 days is Adam Dunn-esque without the walks.

In 47 at-bats, he has 10 strikeouts. That's 21.2% of the time.

Yeah but in the last 5 days

he's batting .412 with .529 slg

by melvintoast on Aug 5, 2007 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'll use the most famous saying from this site

"Small Sample Size".

Funny thing is if you add the previous two days and make it a week, he's batting .296/.333/.778, so that should tell you he's pretty hit or miss right now.

Since his trade, the Angels are only 7-6 while the Yankees are 9-4.

Let's see how many people think I'm being serious about him needing to return.

Shields

Is warming up as the Angels bat in the 8th. An ominous sign, Speier only faced 2 batters and should stay for the 8th.

If I went to war and could only take one weapon, it would be an HK47.

by RallyMonkey5 on Aug 5, 2007 3:32 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Better plan

start the 8th with Speier, if he gets into any trouble go to K-Rod quick, he's only faced 1 batter in the 4 game series so far. He can handle a long save.
