Time to tie the game this inning

Alexei looks like he's in slow motion today at the bat and in the field. That would have been a great play, but his play earlier on Ackley was strange.

Goodness Gavin, get your head in the freaking game. Ventura shouldn't be afraid to get Santiago in this game sooner than later.

Time to tie it up this inning

Gavin didn't even look at the runner. These guys have a late night, last night?

Stone calling out Gavin for falling in love with his cutter.

Just terrible by Gavin. That stupid cutter is just a terrible pitch for him.

Yikes, that was easy. He's going to throw that change-up when he gets 2 strikes.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) Did you ever read the story about how Dave Cameron got the Mariners to stop Felix from coming out with all fastballs at the beginning of the game? I believe it. Gavin never seems to throw a curve in the first inning to lefties until he gets two strikes.

Jeez Gavin...feel free to throw a curve once in a while.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) The way things are going right now, you'd think they would certainly struggle to get 30,000+ for playoff games against the Rays. Not a chance they wouldn't sell out if they made the playoffs.

I actually really enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Soler is now a free agent

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) And Ted Lilly is also on the shelf now with a sore shoulder, so the Sox will not be facing him either. Which is good, because Lilly has generally been pretty good against the Sox. Viciedo would very much like to hit Lilly's mediocre fastball these days. But yes, Dodgers are definitely heading back towards middle of the pack. Giants should win that division, especially with Melky Ruth in their lineup.

9! Saunders gets the game ball

Nice pitch on that change-up...Jaso with a strange reaction there

Whew, thought that was gone. Gotta elevate that heater

Damn, all he had to do is get that slider close and he would have got him. He's going to face a ton of lefties now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 03:37 AM) Seattle is going to be angry that Pauly hit Saunders in the face with a line drive. Seattle should make Pauly take a lie detector test to make sure he didn't do that on purpose. Someone is getting beaned tomorrow. Ha, one of my favorite posts ever for so many reasons

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 02:42 AM) Sickels posted his 2012 Draft Top 100: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/6/1/30...couting-reports Correa has some late helium for sure. Correa's been the one guy I didn't want to see the Cubs draft. It will be interesting to see if they draft shortstops in consecutive first rounds when their best player is a SS and their best young offensive prospect is a SS.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 03:46 AM) One of the rare times we agree I was saying earlier that when Indians/Tigers play again, I hope Indians sweep them again. I don't buy Cleveland being able to reach 90 wins.

Oh ADA!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 03:43 AM) Alexei has been clutch the last month or so in those situations at least making contact and putting balls into play....probably would have been safe had he fielded it cleanly without the double-clutch. He was out if fielded cleanly and thrown without double-clutching
