Wheels! Gimenez with 2nd sac fly of the season

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:35 AM) PH? Flowers last guy left on bench

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:32 AM) YES but ugh paulie Considering it wasn't a clear double off the bat, it was actually good base running by him.

Tank! Look at him make adjustments up there!

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:28 AM) I'm shocked RV isn't hunting here considering he had Alexei hunting last Friday in a similar situation And expect Viciedo to hit Delabar? It's where not having one more lefty on the bench really hurts.

Not upset about that, he had his chance on the first pitch to do some damage.

I hate bunting with Gillaspie here in a situation where you'll need Viciedo to make contact.

How about them Braves? 3 homers off of Herrera in the 8th.

Good job Hector

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) Not arguing. Who hits second? I'd go with this lineup right now: De Aza Gillaspie Rios Konerko Dunn Ramirez Viciedo Keppinger Alomar Jr.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:11 AM) why would you pitch to rios with done coming up? He tried to walk him, but Rios refused to be walked.

At what point do you movie Keppinger down in the order?

Delabar looked unhittable at times against the Sox last year.

Here comes Santiago to hopefully not make many of us look foolish.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 01:59 AM) Hector has a nice cut, just never gets hits Doesn't have the bat speed to get around on these pitches. I actually thought he hit that one farther.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:51 AM) So...will we mention that Robin has made two straight good decisions - letting Axe finish the inning, unleashing PK on 3-0? We praised him all last year to the point we expect it now, but yes, the 3-0 green light is great

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:48 AM) Our team has been horrendous at working walks. 0% for Kep and Viciedo is crazy at this point; I know neither are prolifically patient, but they do take walks. 4% rate from Dunn? That's asinine. It's fascinating to a point.

PK! Great swing on the 3-0

Keppinger and Viciedo combining for 0 walks in 100 at bats...that's impressive

Axelrod has pitched well, but giving up 2 homers on 1-2 pitches is frustrating.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) Do you mind posting it fathom? Very interested in the numbers. Don't have numbers in front of me, but Gimenez caught Quintana's gem and also caught Axelrod's first start vs Seattle that was good.

I'd be willing to bet that Angels fans were hoping Abreu would suck last year so Trout could get promoted

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:57 AM) How come the pitches being called, seem like they actually make sense so far, for Axelrod? Totally different, and he is keeping the pitch count down too, to boot. Check out Gimenez catching ERA compared to Flowers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) Even if his ceiling is fifth starter in baseball, that has some value in this day and age. Of course he'll probably pitch well tonight I get what you're saying with this comment, but I just feel in my opinion there's more value this year in seeing what Santiago can do as a starter and getting him innings so he's not too limited next year when he's much more likely to be in the rotation.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 12:51 AM) You are right, it is no different. Active rooting for failure is amongst the dumbest things to be hoping for in sports, no matter what sport it is. We aren't even talking about tanking in September for a draft pick or something. We are talking about having a prospect fail, so another prospect can step in? Quit watching. Seriously, just find another hobby. You might be the first person to ever refer to Axelrod as a prospect
