It's awesome reading what's gonna hapen while watching MLB.TV.

[Rob]

Remember when they called Fukudome a doubles machine.

 

It's less ridiculous than the claims that Theriot had gap power.

[Guest]

There ya go, Kosuke. :D

Henry Blanco just got demoted in the hierarchy of Venezuelan ballplayers

[UMFan83]

Can you imagine how awesome it would be if April Fukudome came back for October?

Facing Johan Santana, not many would look good.

In Venezuela, Hank White = Michael Jordan, while Johan is merely Ben Gordon

Santana at 39 pitches through 2.

How about April Cedeno and August Derosa?

[Rusch33]

Fukudome's stride was almost straight towards the mound there... interesting.

 

Finally adjusting?

[genbar]

Does that count as an out?

I'll go with any April 2005 Lee, July 2007 Zambrano and then you guys can pick the other months for everybody else.

Lets just eliminate the Mets so we dont have to listen to the stadium noise anymore.

[Ski]

I've seen that pitch called a ball more often than not, but whatever.

2006 Theriot and May 10th-May17th Soriano please.

It would appear so. His stride had looked a bit straighter in the past few games, but it was very blatant there.

 

Whether it stays that way or not is up in the air, but it's a good sign.

How many backup SS's are as non-inept at the plate as Ronny?

RONNY!! Why is he even on the team?

I'm almost back on board with Cedeno for starting SS.
