QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Surprised Carlos hit a flyable, Cahill has a very good sinker Carlos, when he's focused/on, nails pitches down in the zone.

Come on Mark, be stingy for 2 more innings.

Man, ridiculous save by the CF there.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:25 PM) And somehow, somewhere, he learned to take a walk. 10 BB now in AAA. Not a great clip, but considering who he is, that's good enough. That's sorta all he needs...to be willing to not get himself out if a pitcher refuses to pitch to him.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) Why not? We've been doing it all year. I would not mind starting Omar at third and batting him leadoff for a while, honestly. Yeah, benching talented prospects for 44 year olds is a reliable method of development if I've ever heard one. Worked every other time we've tried it. Sad thing is, if Vizquel's body could take it, I'm not sure you're wrong either.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) Lexi looks better than he's looked in a few weeks. I think it's almost guaranteed that Alexei will wind up this season with the best offensive numbers of his career. Just because he has non-awful numbers to start a year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) GMAB man. Everyone's frustrated, and yes it's a gamethread, but there's a bit of decency that would still be nice.

Most hits Cahill has allowed in a start this season.

Alexei again. Get him in.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) Please get him out of the lineup. His numbers don't even begin to illustrate how much he kills this team. I think they illustrate it quite perfectly.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 15, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) Yeah, it's not like I'm frustrated or anything. That's really not a good excuse.

Aside from one pitch that was another really good inning for M-56.

Damnation.

Alexei decided to hit it a bit harder this time. Yowza.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) Aced him! Hit a homer Dunn. Mark has really made some great pitches today. He's lost control on a few too many, but he's tearing some of these others apart.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) 36/41 success rate against the White Sox. 88%. Covelli has Buehrle read, according to DJ. He didn't read anything, he went on first movement. He was going whether M-56 threw to 1b or not.

Pierre somehow caught a ball he misplayed!

Impressive Juan.

Our 8 and 9 hitters get on...and that brings up Juan Pierre with a speedy runner in scoring position.

Omar Vizquel basically got 2 hits that at bat.

Holy cow, nicely turned DP by Adam Dunn. WTF did I just type?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) Would he even be moved down in the line-up if that happened? The whole reason to bring him back is that Ozzie needs his "Speedy" short no power corner OF leadoff hitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) Hey, Hawk finally noticing that Quentin's become a pop up machine to the right side. They were talking last night about how he's probably dropping his back shoulder on his swing.

I feel like Quentin ought to be able to handle Cahill if he was going well. Instead, weak popup.
