QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) And Ventura's only going to use Sale for one inning. Just please DL him!! I think 26 pitches was supposed to be 2 innings...the not going two innings has more to do with Chris than Robin. You never know, Reed could get another save now!

I've seen the logic in many of Robin's moves that haven't worked...but I'm shocked that Hector Santiago is getting loose. I really thought we were just going to carry him in case of blowouts until Crain came back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) Yea two words. ALL IN

You guys need to settle down. Chris Sale is a very good pitcher, I can't see why you'd ever be mad having him come in a tight situation against a lefty heavy lineup

ITT: 94-96 mph fastballs are slow only when thrown consecutively and down the middle

f***, you guys are ahead of me Chris went with the Matt Thornton school of pitch selection there

SANTANA IS A p**** LETS GOOOOOO

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) Wow, that was better than the pitch he called to Damon. Have to think we didn't mind setting up the DP there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:19 PM) 93-94-95 with the fastball. That's not going to work in high leverage late inning situations. lol what????

The Alexei play being a definite out if he gloves it is ridiculous. Had infield single written all over it even without the bad hop at the end.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) And Sale's only at 95 or 96. That high 90's fastball is missing. He's up 5-7mph from his last start. Give the kid some time.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) They are so gonna lose this game. I'm not buying it.

Ball took a bad hop and I don't know if there was a play anyway.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) Something to be said about taking your struggling (on the year) starting pitcher out on a high note. I'm not too mad though about leaving Danks in there. Me neither. I think Robin pulled him at the right time. Gave him a chance to get it rolling again and he couldn't do it, pulled him before damage was done.

Don't forget your fastball Chris!

lol @ 96 coming out of nowhere

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) That made me more pessimistic, as he hit it well and it was a routine 275 foot out. lol, I was just happy he swung kinda hard. At the same time, it assured me that he isn't close to being a big league hitter right now.

FWIW, it's not like Hannahan smashed the thing. Just bad luck on that play.

Is it bad when Morel's fly ball made me feel slightly more optimistic about him?

I don't know if Brent can make himself better right now against major league pitching.

That's gotta be just about the nail in the coffin for his MLB stint

Great job Tank!

lively game thread is lively.

I wonder what Cleveland fans think about the variety of s*** hitters in their lineup. It's worse for them because guys like Damon and Kotchman aren't exactly prospects anymore, lol
