QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) DJ is really harping on Garcia throwing soft. That tells me something, and what it tells me is something is wrong. Absolutely. I was going to point out that DJ has been very critical of Garcia's style today. I love to hear that type of analysis from DJ, and as you, me, and other observers know, the announcing crew usually speaks for the organization.

Garcia better get some zip on his pitches, or he's going to be lucky to have an ERA below 5 this season.

Garcia is totally slowing up his motion on his change-up.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) i was thinking the same thing. That last ab by Thome is exactly how you got to approach this guy....Make him get it up! Cabrera was just awful though when he came in. Westbrook is teasing these hitters, and the ball is dipping at the end. I've always liked W'brook, and I'm shocked we went 4-0 vs him last year.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) At least they are working the count a little better. Not really. They've been swinging over a ton of pitches out of the zone.

Watching this game, it really makes me miss Carl Everett.

If the one on Sunday was 431 ft, that was about 500 ft.

QUOTE(Aderal @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:08 PM) Im sorry did I offend your culture? Wow, you're a quality poster! How are they acting gay? By running over the catcher? I think it's actually sweet justice for Boone from what AJP did to him last year.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:06 PM) this is the game i didnt want to lose I'm not going to lose sleep over losing the 2nd game of the season. I'm as emotional as it gets....and I've even realized that we're not going to go 162-0.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Man, Podsednik's arm is so weak. Actually, it was a great throw for him. If he wasn't playing 20 feet from the warning track, he could have thrown the guy out.

Garcia pitches like he's 45 years old now.

QUOTE(Aderal @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:05 PM) the indians are being gay now Good post

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:02 PM) I think we are in trouble..team looks stuck in mud 87 mph high fastballs and rolling sliders are going to get hard. I wish our hitters could face Garcia with the way he's throwing.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) I just hope we can get to their bullpen as early as possible. Westbrook can usually go as many innings as he needs.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) Cintron take horrid swings, gone Would have rather seen Iguchi play 2nd base, as he's seen Westbrook's sinker a lot. If our hitters don't make W'brook get the ball up, we're not going to score much.

Mr. Cub Killer with a bad approach, but good results.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) I just got back from school.. goddamn Hafner.. He gawn! Hafner? Were you drinking at school?

Who takes C.C.'s spot in the rotation?

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:35 PM) Not an easy play on the groundout to Cintron to end the inning, he had to shuffle quickly to his right and flip to Uribe all in one motion. Nice play. Good point, he didn't have a whole lot of time on that play.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) Garcia gonna get smoffed throwing like this. His off-speed stuff is not spectacular... he needs that 93-95 ( he can throw even harder) mile an hour fastball to set up everything else. Garcia hasn't reached 95 mph since he's been here. He's been in the low 90s since he's been here.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) i think freddy garcia is taking his cues this season from an old indians pitcher...........RICK VAUGHN from Major Leage II So that pitch to Victor Martinez was "the masturbator"?

Ok, could have been a lot worse. Maybe it was the wake-up call that Garcia needed.

Pods = Mr. Smooth in the outfield

89 mph for Garcia
