PAULIE!!!! PAULIE!!!

hes got 4 more rbis this season than he had all last season

 

Is it too early to pull Quentin for defensive reasons? Please let this be the good Clayton Richard.

lets go clayton, offense gave you a nice little lead to work with

Please let this be the good Clayton Richard.

amen

alright clayton, work fast throw strikes

nice pk

two out in 6 pitches diggin the pace

if clayton can have more starts like his last one i'd much rather have him out there in the rotation than Colon

i think he threw all strikes

Great inning Clayton.

9 pitches, good morning good afternoon good night.

 

3 first pitch strikes.

 

excellent!

sexyyyyyyy inning

So far so good with Clayton. Time for some more runs

Richard has a 1.38 ERA in the first inning. We know he's USUALLY good early.

 

It's the bullpen that scares you...a 10-1 victory would be a godsend. We've blown at least 3-4 games in our last two series (Wise out at home, lack of hitting with RISP, Jenks and Linebrink meltdowns, etc.)

 

You'd have to think Richard coming back to the land of Maize and Blue (and Getz, too) would really charge them up for tonight's game on a national stage, especially after the embarassment of the first 3 games.

thats about as good an inning as you are gonna see for a team

Hopefully our offense can keep up the pressure tonight. Time for the heart of the order.

If Porcello is shut down (19 runs given up in his last 3+ outings) for awhile, then they have Zach Miner, Robertson (rehabbing), Willis (well, that's not TOO likely) and Bonderman (rehabbing) as the back of their rotation, along with the rookie pitcher French.

 

Beckham and Getz staying at Grosse Point home of the Getz Family this weekend, FWIW.

I love the Buehrle pace to pitching that we seem to be teaching the majority of our guys.
