Sure happy we pulled the pitcher that A's were getting awful swings off of. Please no more Thornton as a closer!

You have to be kidding me! Pull him off the field! Take out Thornton also.

Whew, got lucky there. No first pitch fastballs to Barton.

What's with this 90 mph cutter crap?

Ugh, hung the offspeed pitch. Just a terrible pitch and a dumb decision to put Thornton in here.

Quite the deceptive 2.70 ERA

Still stand by my theory that if Beckham looks bad in his first AB, you might as well pull him for rest of game.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 03:00 AM) I don't know how Mark doesn't get to at least start the inning. Very worried now. Considering it seems that Buehrle was on a short leash in the 8th, he must have told Ozzie after the 7th he was getting tired.

Crap, Thornton's coming in. Laroche and Crisp are good fastball hitters.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) In regards to Fathom's post about Morel: The biggest concern I have is that he seemingly just swings at everything. If he could improve his patience some, I think he could be solid hitter because right now he can hit. The problem is as other teams scout him more they are going to throw him more and more junk and watch him swing away. Good stuff

I'd let Buerhle start the 9th

I wonder if the AL will adjust to the fact Morel really struggles with low and away slow stuff.

Willingham is a scary hitter

I demand a double from Beckham here to make up for his defense!

Well, there goes the positive reviews for Beckham's defense this season.

Ugh, hit after Beckham misplayed a ball that needs to be caught.

Goodness we make way too many outs on the bases.

LILLIBOMB!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 02:04 AM) only question left now, is what inning will Buehrle give up the solo shot in? I'm gonna say the 8th, since I think he'll throw a CG tonight this inning

Quentin and Rios with really nice approaches that inning...hopefully more swings like that to follow.

What a pathetic 2-0 swing by Alexei...acted like it was an 0-2 pitch.

Come on Alexei, look to RF!

Why are our hitters trying to hit every pitch 500 feet? Just an awful approach tonight.

Upper deck is maybe 15% full
