QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Defensively it probably is. Thing is we needed more than a couple strike outs from him yesterday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 09:31 PM) This team is in HUGE trouble if Viciedo, Flowers and Beckham all founder. That's not news. The only way for us to win is with dominant starting pitching and a better save conversion ratio than 2012. Everything went right last year and we still ended up short in the end. I don't think one game against the Nationals in April will tell the whole story....obviously....but they've really got to start playing much better defense, strike early in the game with RISP and get someone to step up in the bullpen. So far, it has been Addison Reed. Giving up those 7th and 8th runs really stung the comeback effort. And the real John Danks has to show up this season, at some point. I guess someone had to start the talk about blowing it up 7 games into the season while being tied for lead in the division.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) He automatically becomes our best trade bait if this team does an April/May 2010 and 2011 disappearing act. Hopefully it won't come down to that and they start playing better. The bloom is already off the Donnie Veal rose. That was doomed to be another version of Politte/Cotts in 2005. Oh for christ sake

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 09:22 PM) After all the struggles vs Gio, the offense really turned it around only to see the pitching blow up. Sox just need to find a way to keep getting people on for Rios. Thing is....it was the usual suspects that didnt pitch well in the bullpen.

Boy if we only didnt bring in that pile of crap known as Matt Thornton.

Matts just trying to boost his ERA

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) I still think Flowers has to get regular AB's before we pass judgement. Yes, he may K a lot, but his swing is pretty sound and he's got some serious pop. I think you have to give him a chance to improve. Thats what he was in the minors. Strikes out alot and has power. I dont think it would shock anyone if he continues to do that.

Get use to this Tyler Flowers....Looks good a few games. Strike out king the next few.

3 Walks to LHH by Veal....why is he here?

That looked like a pass from Vince Young

Nice throwing Donnie

What is Nate Jones doing?

Jordan Bastian ‏@MLBastian 38s Brett Myers has allowed 7 HR in 9.1 IP this season for Indians. That's half of his hits allowed (14) and more than twice his strikeouts (3). https://twitter.com/MLBastian

What the hell were you swinging at Viciedo?

PAULIE!!!!

2 hits today by Jeff

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) Knuckleball and closed roofs parks = hit real hard. I didnt like that trade for the Jays. The Red Sox just beat the crap out of him the other day.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 08:14 PM) Well, Cleveland and Toronto haven't looked all that great so far. RA Dickey has looked awful so far. Knuckleball isnt fooling anyone right now.

Alright switching to the Hawks game here soon

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) I've always felt like Gavin's stuff would be great in the NL It definitely would

Gavin Floyd tomorrow....I guess Ill start drinking early.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Jayson Werth looks like Tom Hanks in Castaway with that beard (at least his yahoo sport picture). What's with the recent beard trend? Not going to take off. WILLLLLSOOOOONNNN!!!!

Welp there it is

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) He was pitching in relief tonight. I just noticed how well AJ and Youk have started the year (and before anyone says anything, I was glad they weren't brought back). Aha...yeah Youk has been playing well. I actually wanted him back more than AJ.

So turning Brett Myers into a starter was a terrible idea lol
