A bunt? Really? This is Fausto Carmona.

He finally got the outside corner. That was the first time that was called in that inning.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) This is the biggest weakness in Jake Peavy.... sooooooo many pitches. As with any strike out pitcher.

I think Jake is pissed.

Not a good throw by A.J. A decent throw has him easily.

I think Jake needs to stop trying to pitch Cabrera in. It ain't working.

Didn't the Dodgers or Angels get no hit last year and still won?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Hopefully Alisay has a better than normal April. So far not so good. It was perfectly warm on Monday, lol.

What happened to Gene Honda Civic?

Carmona's getting real close to throwing some corner strikes. He's not getting some of these calls.

Hey, what happened to taking pitches guys? We worked Carmona over last inning, keep it going.

It looks like Peavy really tried to bust him inside there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:36 PM) Thanks Yoda. Welcome you are.

Jake just killed his hands there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) I like the guy but he's got to be the least impressive #5 hitter in baseball. Second coming of Darin Erstad he is.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) What a #5 hitter. Carmona was shaking in his boots. Hey his grindy blooper almost got us a run, DON'T HATE!!!!!

Carmona still has control issues.

Three weak pop ups. These Indians hitters have trouble catching up with that high fast ball.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) That was you? Do you still have the clip? It got taken off Youtube a couple of days later. It's somewhere. I'll try to find it.

Peavy has some pretty quick feet. Very fast move to first.

Hanging slider. Cabrera singles.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:08 PM) This opening montage reminds me of a video clip a poster here put up before Opening Day last year. I made something like that from 08 footage.

Peavy's sporting the high socks.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) I agree that the Rays are probably better defensively and it's more than likely just a matter of semantics between us, but I don't think thatr the edge will prove to be "enormous". Other than Pierres' arm I think that our outfielders (any combination of Pierre, Rios, Jones, or Quentin) will prove to be among the best in the majors. Teahen, who knows yet; Ramirez could also be elite if he finds consistancy; Beckham, probably not yet but by the end of the season I'm thinking that he will rank among the best 2nd basemen. While not the most agile at 1st base I believe that Pauly more than makes up for any range issue with his scooping ability, saving countless errors. All in all, I think that by the end of the year our infield defense will rank in the top third of the league as well. A. J. is well....A. J., average at best defensively but apparently knows how to handle pitchers. I'm not that familiar with the Rays catcher but I can't imagine that all things consdered that he's tremendously better than A. J. Again, I'm not argueing that the Rays are better defensively, I just don't think that the difference will prove to be all that enormous. JMHO. The Rays arguably have one of the best outfields in this past decade. Both Crawford and Upton are amazing fielders and Zobrist is good just about everywhere. Their outfield could save 40-50 runs for that pitching staff, which is just mind boggling. Those three had a combined UZR of +40 last year and that was with Zobrist playing only 60 games last year in RF.
