I think Rios has finally reached his true potential as a 5 tool player.

He's gone from someone who some thought could be an MVP contender (that was just silly though) to one of the worst everyday starters in baseball.

 

Looks like he stands further away from the plate than he did last year.

Just an awful pitch to Inge there.

Come on Gavin, is it that hard to post a quality start?

Oh yes, and what makes it worse is his first movement is to open up even more.

He might as well pitch from the wind-up.

Sweet, keeps us in the lead!

That wasn't an impressive pitch to end the inning either, guy just couldn't get on top of it.

Let's get some runs!

Wimpy should of asked why Hawk shunned him.

Clayton Richard and Nick Swisher's numbers this year make me vomit.

I've been a big fan of the Hawk for each of these 25 years, so it's been really nice to hear people like the Wimperoo and Don Drysdale's widow call in and wish the Man of the Hour well. A bit of a walk down memory lane, you might say! : )

SHHHHHHHH

Clayton Richard and Nick Swisher's numbers this year make me vomit.

 

Happy for Clayton, F Swisher. I'm willing to bet he ends the season around .250

Only our hitters would ruin a 3-0 count and pop out.

It's freaking amazing how impatient this team is. When you put Alexei and A.J. back to back, that's two outs in a matter of 4 pitches right there.

Happy for Clayton, F Swisher. I'm willing to bet he ends the season around .250

 

Agreed, happy for Clayton also. He's going to be a very good pitcher in the majors and he's going to make himself a lot of money.

how could that be a basehit?

Wow, ominous start to this inning.

Glad they took Gavin out. He was wearing down.

 

Not sure Thornton isn't wearing down.

.250 is fine for him. He's going to get on base at a .380 clip anyways.

Tony Pena and Matt Thornton need some PFP

Location, location, location. Richard's pitching in the most extreme pitcher friendly park in a vastly inferior league. Swisher's in a lineup that sports multiple HOFs, all-stars and MVP candidates.

For real, I'm proud of Ozzie. Also keeps him in a positive frame of mind.

Oh believe me, I understand the league differential/location factor...I just wish KW did.
