I dont' think leadoff hitters are allowed to drive in runs.

This offense is horrible i just wonder how long this will last for

Truly, I think this issue is deeper than just the players on the field. Something that probably can't be fixed within a single season. If/when someone in this organization (i.e. Jerry) decides something needs to change, I think it ends up being a large turnover.

Easy 1-2-3 3rd for Peavy in the top of the order.

I just get so frustrated that we let our worse hitter continue to get the most plate appearances. Sadly, I have little faith in Ozzie to ever bench or move his slappy crush from the leadoff spot.

It is probably pretty low. IIRC pitch counts have risen in modern times by a decent amount.

Yeah, if this is recorded somewhere, it probably is from pre-1920s or something.

Yeah me neither. Ozzie is one of the most stubborn managers I've seen. It's his way, and his way only.

2 pitch out for Beckham.

This is about the time we have 9 consecutive batters make an out. What's with all these feeble swings before getting 2 strikes?

I'm guessing there aren't really records from that era, seeing as most of the basic stats we have from then were actually compiled by people re-reading box scores.

4 pitches, 2 outs.

Nice swing the other way for TCQ, came up short at the track.

That was quick.

LMFAO. 2 pitch out for Quentin. Westbrook with 41 through 3.2.

5 pitches, 3 outs. Holy f*** is this team boring.

Wow. 5 pitch inning. Bench this whole team. Every single last one of them.

Westbrook and Talbot are about to blow my mind. This is just absolute mastery at pitching. Never before have I ever seen such pure dominance in two games in a row.

Yeah CQ and PK shouldnt be swinging at mediocre fastballs down the middle!

Crap, did I really just post this? I think I'm turning into the Incredible Hawk or something..

According to gameday, PK's first pitch was a sinker. Probably wrong though, or Paulie would've had to have been way under it. Also said Beckham saw 2 straight curves.

I wonder what Hawk is doing right now. Since hes not broadcasting the game, hes probably just freaking out. Do you think hes really like his TV personality all the time? Does anyone know him?

If it was a sinker, it was a sinker right down the middle above the knees.

 

Regardless it was going to be a strike and he may not have seen a better pitch that at bat.

 

Its one thing if they are swinging at bad pitches out of the zone, but come on you gotta swing the bat at good pitches. CQ and PK are supposed to drive the ball and some times that means swinging at early pitches that are good to hit.

6 rockets so far for Cleveland today. His cutter is a TERRIBLE pitch!

But you CAN'T let a pitcher like Westbrook have a 5 pitch inning, regardless off whether or not it was a good pitch to hit. That too is something these guys HAVE to be considering. I don't care what you say, the 5 pitch inning should never happen.

Terrible execution by Perralta.

Valbuena should not get anything good to hit here.
