The Triumphant Return of Jake Peavy @ Angels

Featured Replies

If Buddy Bell likes prospect Jose Martinez as per Hawk, Martinez should find a new line of work.

That was almost Bonds vs KRod-esque

Nice play by Alexei. Peavy's velocity is better than expected, but his slider has nothing on it.

Thats odd, given that the Angels announcers have been commenting how sharp it looks. I've seen it between 81 and 87 on the clock. He rolled one or two but he's also snapped off a couple nasty ones.

Adam Dunn homers just look sexier for a reason.

Ok Rios, time for a clutch hit

Huh?

He hasn't got a swing and miss on the slider. It wasn't just me who thought so, but who knows if it's been a cutter instead.

Why aren't you at this game, Gage?

Fathom, I should add, your comments were in the first inning. Its looked a bit better, but he has definitely hung his fair share. Velocity is nice though.

 

And to answer you, Chatwood has a nasty yacker and a good sinking fastball and was the Angels top pitching prospect. Guy has a great arm.

2 more LOB.

Awful by Rios. He seems to overswing whenever he has RISP.

Work. I only got to go to Monday's game. And I brought em good luck :)

I was half expecting Peavy throwing 80 mph and relying on a Moyer-like change-up. Considering some of us thought he was done with about 3 weeks ago, this is more than I could have ever expected.

By the way, Dunn has extra base hits in each of his past 3 games. Did great on Monday, doubled yesterday, and hit a bomb today after having a solid single in his first AB.

He doesn't have command tonight. They should get to him.

Both of the Chicago big free agent acquisitions went from the worst hitters on the team to the most dangerous hitters in a week.

Angels announcers said that there advanced scouts had him as high as 94-95 in his last rehab start. Not sure the truth there, but his velocity looks fine. In fact, as I see him pitch, I think if his arm doesn't fall off, he'll be back to being an ace for us and could pan out.

 

I'm an optimist but It looks like his stuff is there.

6 LOB through 3...ewww...

 

It's frustrating, but WAY less frustrating then not getting anyone on like most of last month.

Juan Pierre assisted triple.

How the hell does that turn into a triple. Bourjos is so f***ing fast. And Pierre has my arm.

Juan takes so goddamn long to make a play on a ball.

 

Also, s***ty pitch by Jake, and Bourjos is pretty fast.

Probably going to be a rough inning for Peavy.

Until the White Sox decide to get hitters that learn to adjust to he count and what the pitcher is throwing they will remain a team that does not strike out but continue to weakly put he ball in play on good pitchers pitches.

 

If you have a 2-0 count you do not need to swing at knee high pitch on the black.

 

Pierre really sucks.

Juan Pierre can't get an extra base hit, but he sure contributes to them on defense. Unreal how bad he is this season.

They have to get Pierre off the field. Viciedo time.
