at this rate CLE will be out of the cellar by Sunday

ERA stands at 7.11. Solid effort.

 

Bad pitching + terrible hitting + rotten defense = fail

 

 

when are we going to learn to just BET against this team? we could all retire..

What team in baseball would claim Floyd with that three year guaranteed contract, knowing that even Cooper's struggling with him???

 

Well say someone takes him. Then what. Lance Broadway or Whistler. Come on. As bad as Gavin has been, some options are worse.

The "legend" of Don Cooper is taking a bit of a hit this year, not unlike Alan Greenspan.

Everyone on this board says it's a great deal. Why wouldn't The Nats or Pirates take a chance considering how hard it is to get Free agents to sign with them?

That would be dangerous with the Indians, because they always kick in into gear when they're pretty much dead and buried.

 

Thome is listening to SoxTalk advice to morph into a Lillibridge/Fields opposite-field singles hitter.

 

 

someone spiked the G with greenies

Thome made it to third, common AJ, settle down.

The Nats, maybe.

 

The Pirates, no way, not in this economy...

 

If his ERA climbs to Contreras territory (8+), it would be a REALLY gutsy move for another GM...maybe the Yankees would take a shot, too. Dodgers or Angels other possibilities.

What....a first and third'em?

Wow, a couple of consecutive hits and a run scored. Jaw dropping.

Alright!

Nice hits this inning..need a crooked number.

what the hell am I watching? 3 singles in a row to lead off the inning. thats not how this team is supposed to play. is it?

Should be 2 runs already if not for Dye's lackadaisical baserunning...

 

Fields=throw him 90% fastballs belt high or above

Ramirez=throw him 90% curves, just don't hang one

Fields, Ramirez, Getz, Lillibridge. Something tells me this will kill a couple rallies.

Wow, what a terrible hitter. Overpowered by 89 mph fastballs.

Fields has been struggling.

i'm over fields in a big, big way

3.10 ERA, 1.12 WHIP.

 

That's what Gavin will have to do over the next 168 innings to match his numbers from his fluke season last year.

Fields just get that trade value up somehow

The Nats, maybe.

Why would it be so gutsy. He won 17 games last year with an ERA under 4 in the AL. Unless you are dying to see Lance Broadway get Felix Diazed every 5th day I would rather see if Floyd is salvageable. 3/5s of our rotation is a mess right now and the team isnt hitting at all.

Sexy .238 OBP there Alexei.

You know the one thing that really does bother me about Walker? He's too damn patient with these young guys. How long did it take to finally get Anderson to overhaul his swing? Ditto Fields. Ditto Lillibridge. These guys need (ed) some serious help and it took forever for it to happen.

Pavano has been getting hammered most of the year! Floyd looks like crap again!
