Peavy's retired 10 in a row.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) I thought the GIDP's would be signifcantly lower in number this year with the increase in speed in our lineup. Boy was I wrong... Unless you have a team of Jacoby Ellsburys, nothing can prevent tailor made double plays.

I'm actually more excited to see whether or not Peavy can regain some stuff than our offense trying to hit. And we're down by 5 runs...

Quentin just missed that one.

Another DP. NICE!

If he gets through this game without allowing anymore runs, I think it's a decent sign that he's not hurt. I think that's what we're all afraid of, him being hurt. Two HBPs by Harden now. Score some damn runs, PLEASE!

QUOTE (jimmiething @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) so quick question: why is juan pierre trying to steal down five with a pitcher struggling to throw strikes? I know our offense sucks but getting one run really doesn't do much for us there. Ozzie was overmanaging.

Nice comeback by Jake. He's on pace to go at least 5 today. At least he saves the pen.

BREAKING NEWS: PEAVY JUST HIT 92 MPH.

Wow Pierre, seriously? That wasn't even close.

What kind of hit and run was that Pierre?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) Jim Thome has an OPS around 1.15....yuck 1.150? That's good, lol.

Nothing will make me happier than a nice rest of the game from Peavy, which includes good velocity, location, and movement.

At least Peavy's consistently gotten Michael Young out.

I actually think Harden is worse than Peavy right now. Worse velocity and location. We're just not hitting anything.

You guys think that Peavy hurt himself right after his first ST game against the Dodgers? Because after that, he threw nothing but fastballs and gave up 7 runs. Then he sucked for a couple of more starts in ST.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Exactly, it's something that was obvious in his 2nd start in Toronto. It's why so many pitches are fading towards his right. From what I've seen before, that's what he's always been doing.

Game's already over.

It looks like he's starting to get better location and velocity from the windup, which makes me think it is a mechanical flaw.

He's got no location on the off-speed stuff whatsoever.

Bad location by Peavy and bad velocity. We're in for a long day.

Not a good pitch by Peavy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) BTW, anyone else hear Terry Boers say that Jake Peavy is injured? He usually has the best sources. Sox wouldn't be throwing him out there if he was hurt. They're not that stupid. This is a $60 million investment we're talking about.

Jake's velocity so far is around 90.

Rios should have ran there...
