Matt Treanor in his 2nd attempt to win the game, hits a 3-run WALKOFF HR to beat the Angels and are now in 1st place, and 3-1 in the division.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) I'm going to give Ozzie a break. If Alexei gets the runners over, chances are he comes back with Omar trying to do the same thing with a squeeze play. And if that worked, everyone is happy. Alexei just didn't get the job done in a close game where Danks and Masterson were both pitching well. Now if it was Vizquel and Pierre on 1st and 2nd, I wouldn't want Beckham to sacrifice with his live bat and Dunn and Konerko coming up behind him. The only kind of bunts that Alexei should be doing are drag bunts for a hit. He seems to be able to drop down some nice bunts down the 3B line when he trying to get a hit. But when he is squaring up, he is real bad.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) ya, tho that triple play was boneheaded lolol. Let Ozzie learn his lessons now against bad teams that aren't going to be any competition for us going out.

holy s***, he is bananas.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKyY_jdoe3g

Joe Nathan isn't looking to good vs. Jays right now. I wish I didn't have him on my fantasy team now, because I'd like for him to blow this game.

You guys know how the saying goes. "Bunting is the hardest thing to do in baseball"

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:23 PM) If Danks strikes guys out like this all season we can kiss him goodbye in the offseason. Doesn't he have 1 more year of arb?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) It was a nice play. It appeared to be a bunt and run, but under no circumstance is a bunt anything but bad if its caught on the fly. It was bad, because it was in the air, but I didn't think it was terrible. A lot of times that bunt would get down, even with the 1 second of hangtime it had.

So no one wants to say it was a great play by the 1B, but rather that it was a terrible bunt by Alexei? I mean, if it was a terrible bunt, then the fielder would not have to of dove and made a fantastic play to get it in the end of his mitt. A terrible bunt would have made for an easy out, not a spectacular play. Terrible baserunning, sure. Terrible bunt? Eh.

My friend and I are sharing MLB.tv accounts right now on our PS3's. It's really awesome, except for being blacked out from like 4 or 5 teams, including the Sox. Until I find a good proxy for use, I will just have to find random streaming sources to watch the Sox game, and then once the game is archived on mlb.tv, I can go back and watch certain innings or plays. But right now I got the Yankees/Tigers game going, and will have the A's/M's game as soon as it starts.

Hopefully no typical Ozzie "Sunday Lineup". I want at least 8 of those same 9 out there tomorrow. Give Morel or Rios a day off if you want, but leave me the others.

Kyle Drabek threw 7 innings of 1-hit ball vs. Twins. Wowzers.

QUOTE (gettysburg32 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) The Royals have five times the attendance of CLE today Ok, Mark Gonzalez is posting that the attendance is about 10K in Cleveland right now. I am not so sure the Royals are drawing 50K right now...

Hanrahan can go away now, please.

QUOTE (gettysburg32 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) The Royals have five times the attendance of CLE today Seriously? I would guess that means KC has about 25,000 there, which means like 5K here in Cleveland? Wow, that's awful.

Any chance the guns in cleveland are a little slow? Or does it seem like each pitcher has lost 2-3 MPH? I want to see Thornton pitch since he is always a consistent 97+. If he is hitting 93-95, then I will be convinced it's a slow gun.

"Mark Gonzales In each of the Sox's first two games, every starter but Rios has at least one hit."

Q!!!!

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) 99 pitches to the b****es Edwin - "I got 99 pitches, but b**** I ain't done."

They have finally got the Xfinity K-zone working right. Showing the pitch location after the replay, not before it.

99 pitches for E-Jax. I'd let him start the 7th

Good job Edwin. 5 in a row retired.

Gameday says EJax has only thrown 51% fastballs. Wow.

Very nice Pierre!

Just like that, Twins losing 5-1.
