Wow, what a terrible pitch. You can't let him beat you in that situation. I miss the Chris Sale that threw 97 mph.

Gordon is right on every fastball so far this year.

Morel's swing seems to be all arms. Mechanics were a bit different last season.

Whew...strange 7 innings for Gavin, but a very gutsy effort after seeming out of it to start the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) It appears only Danks had his good stuff thus far among all our starters. Yet, none have allowed more than 4 runs. I'd say that's decent. It's all around baseball though. Very few pitchers I've seen have looked on in their first start.

Very nice Gavin! Pretty interested in watching Crow pitch.

Great reaction by Morel there!

Jenks actually looked really good in that Red Sox game.

Ball jumped off of Beckham's bat there.

Pierre picks up Morel! Steal another base Juan.

Ugh...Morel's really going to try out patience at the plate this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) Kubel owns Rivera Thought for sure game would be 5-4 Twins after seeing this.

That a boy Alexei! Tough send with that gun in RF.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) my favorite memories of KC are when Mags and Frank would come in here hot and emasculate their pitching staff. you still suck, AJ. Ordonez used to destroy Durbin on KC

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:44 AM) Wake up? The offense can't wake up with all these long swings against the sinkerballer. Typical Sox Corpseball. Those short swings the first 2 days will never be seen again. Buried, burned, gone, however you like it. Lots of pop ups on low pitches the last few innings.

Gavin's kept us in the game these last few innings...time for offense to wake up.

9 outs before The Reliever Formerly Known as The Mexicutioner gets in.

Twins just tied it in the 8th...shocked Rivera wasn't brought in to get 4 outs.

Hochevar has the Sox chasing that low slider away right now. Need to beat him on his fastball.

Gavin's about to get killed out there. Scary stuff!

Can't remember now, but was Gavin pitching from the stretch or wind-up when Cabrera was up with the runners on 2nd and 3rd?

Terrible performance by Gavin so far. Not sure why Beckham was playing so far up the middle with all of those inside sliders.

Nice pitch to Aviles...huge batter in this game for Gavin coming up.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 12:49 AM) Floyd looks like he's shot putting the ball. God, you'd think he'd finally have his mechanics down to where he could pitch in his sleep. That 89 mph fastball won't cut it. Yep, definitely aiming everything. No movement, zip, or command on his pitches. Got to avoid a big inning.

Gavin's stuff is going to have to improve tonight if he wants to qualify for a win.
