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

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) hmm... i wonder if brandon mccarthy is available today I hope not

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) As I mentioned a couple of times this spring, I'm worried about Freddy Garcia's health. Yeah, I'm not sure if it's physical or mental with him though. I thought he was throwing around 90 mph during the WBC.

Ok....start throwing some pitches with "stuff" Garcia. A lot of these pitches are just rolling to the plate.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) How deep was it though? 1 or 2 rows out.

This park plays so small. Was that a fastball he hit out?

This game has been very strange so far. Thome had a great swing on that pitch.

Nice first hit Cintron!

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) DJ commenting that Garcia's velo is down, and stating he'll rear back and fire it when he needs to. Interesting. You can tell Garcia is trying to hit his spots. I'm not exactly thrilled that he's trying to become Greg Maddux, but I'm willing to see how his control is. The only thing that could hurt him is that the lower velocity makes his slider less effective as a strikeout pitch.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) Does anyone think this will boast his draft value? Nope. Scouts know who the best point guard(s) really are. Congratulations to Dee for winning a popularity contest.

I've been looking over the lineups today, and I have to say that most of the teams don't have a lot of talent. I've been impressed with the lineups of the Cubs (sad to say), Mets, and Phillies. Also, I'm shocked by how many relievers that have pitched today that I've never heard of.

Name recognition is a beautiful thing for people sometimes.

Anyone else notice that Marte came in and gave up the go-ahead hit today?
