QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) Here are Lilly's splits for the months; April - 1-2, 6.98 ERA May - 2-3, 8.06 ERA June - 2-3, 4.20 ERA July - 2-1, 1.35 ERA So yeah he's improved a lot since the first 2 months, but his away ERA is so high still, it does worry me a little. I'd like to see how he does now on the road this month in a couple of starts before making a deal, but I don't think the Sox are gonna wait that long, and hell they shouldn't, since another team may just sneak right in and make a deal. Batista on the other hand, has just been superb away from the Dome with a 1.80 ERA. He's an ideal target in my view. I have confidence in Lilly being just a solid pitcher because that's what he's been most of his career and like I said just watching his last few games, he's been absolutely nasty.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) From Chicagosports.com: EDIT: I'd honestly go nuts if Chacin was acquired, that would truely be awesome. But I highly doubt Gustavo goes anywhere.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Lilly or Miguel Batista would either make ideal additions in my mind. Batista's a swing guy who'd pitch in the pen for us, but could be stretched out into a starter if the need arised. Lilly's still quite young, a lefty and has had previous success. Some bad things though, his away splits this season, 1-6 with a 7.28 ERA. His BB/K ratio away, 23 BB's, 19 K's. He's also only signed for this season, at $3.1 million, so he'll need to be resigned like A.J Burnett. But if the Blue Jays do go into a fire sale mode, they're an ideal team to look at for trade options. Hell I'd go after Vernon Wells even, if Rowand doesn't pick up his power numbers, although a lot of people don't like Wells intensity or lack of in games. Honestly, try to land Lilly and Batista in the same deal and take this team where it can go. Lilly and Batista would both be fantastic additions, both are solid pitchers and would fill in nicely. As far as Lilly's high era on the road dbaho, he sucked at the beginning of the year no matter where was and recently he's just been outstanding, not just numbers wise but watching him the guy has been great and his last few starts he's pitched at skydome.

Wes finally starting to get healthy, he's thrown very well his last two times out. Tonight he went 5 innings giving up 3 hits 2 runs but none earned, 2 k's and 1 walk. His era is now 5.89

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) Damn Bud Selig for making it impossible for me to trust people like Palmeiro. If they'd been testing in 93-94, when his power surge started, we'd at least have reason to believe it's all real. Now, it's Raffy's word against Canseco's. Damn you Bud Selig for turning your back. I'm taking Raffy's word in this case. Congrats Raffy

Kalapse is going to have a temper tantrum.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) Ozuna is 4 for 5. I would love to see this guy play SS and have Uribe on the bench for a while. Juan just isn't doing it offensively this season and he is in the starting lineup way too much. He's in there everyday because he's about as good as there is defensively in the AL.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) The Red Sox lineup is scary. True but their pitching definitely isn't.

Freddy, yes!!!!!!!!! Great outing!!!!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) I hate it when Farmer starts waxing patriotic...he sounds like such an idiot Try your mlb.tv again, it's starting to work for me.

That a boy Freddy.

Rare bad decision on Juan's part, now Freddy just has to pick him up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) That whole sequence was f***ing awesome. Bravo Ozzie! That was a thing of beauty, it really was.

I f***IN LOVE THE SQUEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) anybody having trouble with MLB.TV??? Ya, it's messed up right now.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) yeah I heard that. Good stuff. I'm not Tivoing the game but they will probably show a replay of the game tonight around 1-ish. They're showing the replay of the cubs game not the sox game at 1:30.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) Good speed on the bases About as good of speed as there is in baseball.

Broken bat single by Pauly. 2 on, no out, lets get a few more.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 06:30 PM) Judging by listening to the game on the radio and from what I've seen since I've been home, have the Indians just been hitting into a lot of bad luck tonight? Lots of liners at people and just barely missing doubles down the line? A lot of those balls that have just missed the line haven't been hit that hard so look at it anyway you wish.

1-2-3 for freddy.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Was his last error that play in the 9th inning against the Angels? I believe that was it.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) why the hell would you steal third with two outs anyway? He was trying to get into 3rd with less then 2 outs.

Ugh, that wasn't even that close. Terrible call.

Very nice play by Peralta.
