Whew...

 

That was the 2nd time I have seen Beckham pass over an easy out at 3rd though... other time was a few days ago a grounder brought him right to the bag with runners on 1st n 2nd 2 out and he through to 1st. Is that the correct play to get the force at 1st?

 

At this point in time, I like him taking the repetitions to get him as much game practice as possible.

If he throws 96 he really should be throwing it here what is with all ofthe breaking stuff

 

For now, he's a 91-92 mph pitcher. He's having success, so no reason to change things.

Beckham?

 

I posted in the Halladay thread that I would. Would you trade Beckham for Ricky Romero?

 

Anderson's days have really got to be numbered as his AB's are down right terrible..

That was a quick inning...

I've seen him up to 96 since he's been up, but it's going to be hard for him to sustain that velocity when he's not getting consistent innings, especially since he was in such a groove starting in AA.

Sox hitters seem to have packed it in against the overpowering Tomo Ohka.

 

Make the 9th easy please.

He does not have control to live at 91 -92 as his offspeed stuff is not consistent either.

There are probably only 3-5 players I'd move Beckham for. Lincecum would be one. Pujols. Hanley. MAYBE Weiters.

What? He has always been 93-94 consistent fastball since being promoted.

I agree...his stuff is very underwhelming so far.

Must we b**** about Poreda not having the stuff to succeed at the big league level, when he's clearly succeeding at the big league level?

Alright, now I feel like an ass because I hadn't previously been watching tv and now see he's at 91-92.

 

Although prior to today he was 93-94 consistent. You have to wonder whether this gun is slow. I haven't been watching to compare him with previous pitchers.

He seems to not have anyone centering him up and hitting him hard, at least so far.

Jamey Carroll looks like a post puberty Brent Lillibridge.

 

Beckham needs to make that play.

Nix is really fun to watch.

Poreda just sealed his not pitching for another 2 weeks fate with that run!

Damn Nix has some range!

2 outs. Get this damn game over with. In no way should the Indians only be down by 4.

He sure is awesome to watch in the field. I still kinda like the mini platoon with Getz.

That would be a slider. Nasty.

That was nice.

I wouldn't call it b****ing more that he is not the lights out pitcher I thought he was and constructive criticism.

 

That was a real nice sequence there.

 

Nix is a great defensive player.

What did you expect? He was in a rhythm as a starter in Birmingham and is now getting super spotty innings as a reliever. I'm not saying he's going to be Randy Johnson, not even close, but give the guy a break.

I thought a Thortonesque fastball. He is doing fine and I wish he got more work that is all.

 

Sara Kustok is hot.

The next ST overrated.

 

Though Konerko is married, I've never seen him so nervous in an interview.
