Awesome, Stone ripping on Peavy for not backing up third base there.

Peavy continuing to throw batting practice. Every Indians player this time thru the order has taken a great swing on Peavy.

Beckham continues to have no bat speed on those inside fastballs, as he can't turn on anything with authority. It's ok, it's all mental and not a flaw in his approach!!

Nicely done Ramon! Didn't try to do too much.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) Has ANY hitter this season swung on 3-0?? ONCE?? I can't recall it...really.... Nix and Kotsay, I believe. Hawk is pretty livid about it.

Ozzie, please give our power hitters the 3-0 green light!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:07 AM) True, which makes me wonder how can he decline so much in such a short period of time. I remember watching his starts last year and was truly dominating. But he still didn't have a good fastball, which kind of raised eyebrows around here. The masterful game against Detroit was against a team that was playing so tight...and drunk

Haha, wow...our veteran offensive leader not getting the runner over. Poor Hawk having to try and make excuses for this pathetic approach.

Peavy getting away with some horrendous pitches down the plate this inning.

Haha, a balk by the Dbag! Even when he has his "good" stuff, he's still having trouble with a mediocre lineup.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 12:53 AM) Pierre bobbling the ball actually helps to nail Choo at third. Why was Nix playing even with the bag with an extremely slow hitter at the plate?

And just like that, we're losing.

Indians hitters actually making adjustments...what a concept! Peavy getting himself into trouble. Still yet to show an above average slider tonight.

1 hit thru 3 innings. Must be all mental for our hitters!

After hearing Stone and Hawk talk, the White Sox will never take a high school pitcher with their first pick.

How much did that Minnesota starting pitcher help his stock last night? I was impressed with him, reminded me of Joe Blanton. That Kvasnicka guy on Minnesota though is nothing special.

Wow, anyone see Carlos Gomez throw his bat after he popped out in extras? He threw it all the way to first base, if not farther.

After listening to Greg Walker talk with Ranger on WS Weekly, we need to use Walker's salary for a psychologist, I guess. He basically said that Rios, Pierre, Quentin, and Beckham's issues over the last 2 years were mental.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 12:24 AM) That's 2 perfect innings.....only 7 more for Jake to put his name in the record books. Perfect game is about as rare these days as someone getting busted for public masturbation at an adult video store.

Castro's called for that Loaiza-slider on the inside to righties more tonight than I've seen AJP do all season with Peavy.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) I haven't gotten to see Jake a lot this year, but has he thrown the slider consistently at all this year? Or at least not as much as we thought he would. He's thrown it, it's just been awful. Never seen a pitcher go from having a plus-plus pitch to having a below average pitch.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) Jake with an F that inning, looked pretty decent. He did, I'm already liking Castro more behind the plate than AJP. Still yet to see the good Peavy slider tonight, but he has more of a swagger it seems.

I don't like him, but it's so refreshing hearing Kevin Millar tell stories about Major League players that are still active when he's announcing. It's a lot more interesting hearing how Mark Kotsay was the most accurate outfield arm he's played with rather than hear how great Jim Rice was defensively.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) Could you imagine if Tampa had taken Posey instead of Beckham? My god. Or taken Alvarez to put him at 1B when Pena leaves?
