Notice the two nice K's both on inside pitches. Working in is something this staff needs to do more of as a whole.

Gosh damn.

 

At-bats like THOSE are why I still hold out a little bit of hope for Javy to turn it around. His pure stuff is nasty, and right there, that was a great job of attacking Cat. Couple of fastballs away, good movement to the corner, and that nasty slider down and in to finish him off.

 

:sigh So much f'n potential...

 

And it's why we should do everything in our power to get rid of Garcia in the offseason. Vazquez has been extremely disappointing this year...but at least you can see that he still has the ability to get hitters out without relying on rockets at the fielders.

Gosh damn.

His stuff is as nasty as it gets. If he can keep his brain focusing on the game and not let things ouf of his control bother him he would be fine. His slider looks better today, and he is keeping on top of things driving down. The Jury is out until we get to > pitch 75.

How does a championship level team or a team not named the Royals or Devil Rays make so many fishing dumb base running mistakes. Who the gosh darn sent Thome and why didnt Joey sent him back when it was going to be caught. Nice coaching and nice running.

It would be 2 to nothing. He can learn about baserunning in the intructional league.

 

1-0.

 

thomes walk puts runners at 1 & 3. PK base hit scores pods 1-0; thome to 2nd & PK on first. dye lines into dp thome out at second. how did you come up with 2-0? you should be sent to instructional league for scorekeeping. LOL!

Javy Vasquez = Cy Young.

guys in jay bullpen playing rock, paper, scissors lol

Javy Vasquez = Cy Young.

Where's my chat crew?

I like the patience our hitters are showing. This guy is wild, its nice to see them not giving him any help.

When AJ goes 3-2 on a pitcher...that pitcher ain't lasting too long.

 

Yeah. NOT Garland.

 

/green

1-0.

Nice witty remark. Mensa is calling you.

double for crede

Oh JOe

I love opposite field power.

Got Crede?

Get him in.

Get him in.

please

damn u alex, get him in brian

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about a hit, but does anyone else think Crede should've been on third?

Con sarn it.

If he had any speed, yes, but Rios seemed to bounce off the wall pretty well and recognize where the ball was immediately.

Heads and Felix,

 

How do you get those things in your sig with the dissolving teams?

Seems like we're leaving a lot of chances on the basepaths early. That's troublesome, but at least we're getting chances. It'd be real nice to keep that bullpen for Toronto "overworked".
