Paulie got fooled big time on that one.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Looks like, from his facial expression & body language, the bunt back to the pitcher and the double-error have broken Morel's spirit. Hopefully, only 1 day. He seems like a stable guy. Errors happen. If I remember correctly, each time Morel has reached a new level of baseball, he has struggled hardcore out of the game, and then slowly adjusted and then ended up raking. Unless I am just mixing him up w/ Beckham, I think Morel was like 0-22 to start AAA last year, and then ended up hitting like .320.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) They were all clearly balls. disagree.

Wow, that ball looked crushed, but landed 70 feet short of the wall. My calibration must be off.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) Never trust gameday. Well, they confirmed my thoughts that all 3 of those pitches were very close.

According to Gameday, 3 of those 4 pitches were on the black of the strike zone, and he got none of them.

What the hell kind of sound was that? Hafner swinging an iron rod?

Ok, now forget that inning and start fresh in the 3rd.

Too close for comfort there Alex, phew.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Real bad 0-2 pitch for Jackson, who hasn't found his velocity yet. Carrasco is throwing meatballs today, so if we can keep Cleveland down today, should be in great shape. Only 1-2 ticks below where he usually sits.

Damnit AJ, hitting the eject button.

Uh oh. Brent pulls a Mark Teahen.

Holy Schitza. That was a no-doubter.

Wow, Hannahan is a beast at the corner. s***.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) It was 1-0, you cant just assume that were gonna score 15 runs every game (even though its lookin like it now) but I don't see why there is a problem having your 9th man bunt guys to 3rd and 2nd, and eliminate the double play.. Like I said, I thought that was fine, hes just gotta execute Agree to disagree, but we are up 5-0, so all if forgiven.

He missed the base? Ugh. lol, way to ruin it! Dunn just needs to muscle up and put one into the stratosphere.

BECKS!!!

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) that bunt was a good call, Morel has to execute there How was it a good call? Who was Carrasco fooling up to that point? He couldn't even buy an out, so why give him one for free?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) That should've scored 1. You gotta get that bunt down Brent. Blame Ozzie. Wasting an out should have never crossed Ozzie's mind.

Ouch, not a good bunt, Brent. I think that was a terrible idea to have him bunt. Don't give Carassco free outs when he can't get anyone out.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Uh oh, I smell an Alexei DP. Awesome. I'm foolish to doubt this offense now.

Uh oh, I smell an Alexei DP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) Either way, I don't like it. He threw 8 more pitches that inning than he should have. QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) I hate that, just finish them. No, I agree. And I think that is his problem. He should be less concerned about the K, and rely more on his defense and his ability to blow his 95MPH fastball by them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) Jackson getting a little wild here I think it's purposeful though, just to get the K. If you notice, he can go 0-2, 1-2 pretty easily, and then just throws garbage to get them to chase.

That has been and probably will be Jackson's problem. After he gets 2 strikes, he just tries to fool the batter in to chasing a ball, and as long as they are patient, they can draw a 3-2 count, and hope he misses.
