Wednesday Post-Expos GAME THREAD

Los Angeles Angels at Washington Nationals, Jun 25, 2008 4:10 PM PDT


Random MIchel Foucault Quote: The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.

not they are not...

over-hyped in the media…

there is one manufacturer, Sam Bats, that started using maple because the ASH ones were breaking so much. They provided the power (bat form) for Cansucko and Bonds among others. Vladdy uses their bats. Theirs don’t shatter as often as some of the other manufacturers maple bats do.

Not able to watch on TV, so cannot tell where Kotch's hit went. But...

If GA is the guy you are going to use to force the D to make a play, why not force it on Kotch’s base hit by sending GA from 2nd? Stay out of the double-play, too.

it was a kinda hard hit ball, and there was no way they were sending GA

he was rounding the base when the LF had it

I AM THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. BOW TO MY WILL AND MY HAMMER!

by anaheim angels on Jun 25, 2008 4:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Again, I am blind here, but...

if GA is at 3B when the RF has the ball on Kotch’s hit, that is the same as GA at 3B (tagging) when RF has the ball catching Howie’s fly.

Maybe Howie’s fly was not as deep as Kotch’s hit? Doesn’t sound right, but it would explain things.

On the other hand, with GA rounding 3B from second, he already has speed and momentum. When tagging, the fist few strides are used getting up speed and mo. It would seem that trying to score in the first instance would be a better chance.

by Stirrups on Jun 25, 2008 5:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

I heard Kotch's hit...

squirted through the IF, thus making the RF picking it up on the run heading toward the IF making GA a lock to be held up at 3B.

"Never throw the ball so far over the fence where you can't go back and get it." Chuck Knox quoted through Darryl Henley

ya, and also kotch hit his with 1 out

there were 2 outs when GA was sent. totally dif situation. because if howie gets a hit, then runs score. but if GA goes for it, and gets out, then the rally is not as vibrant (1st and 2nd 2 outs). also, matthews was on deck.

It might depend on what the other team is wearing. Are the nats in a darker color or white unis? If dark, then maybe the choice was not there. But, I have seen the reds in use on the road, when the home team was wearing white.

his man-crush for Nipples is understandable. I mean, the guy mashed yesterday, then he isn’t playing. It seems ludicrous. But, it is Soth-ball’s ball game, and he knows best. I have faith.

I knew as soon as I saw Napoli hitting the ball yesterday, that we would be seeing Mathis today.

you gotta think turkey would have won had they not lost their goalie. poor play coming out on the last goal and also a poor effort on the second german goal. there is no excuse to being beat near post, especially with that favorable angle (although it was a good shot)
