Beckham really got down the line quickly there.

What is all this talk about DeAza?

 

Benching Rios? Who would be gone, Lilly or Vizquel?

why is he not bunting the ball to wilson betemit????

so maybe de Aza is going to be traded?

No one is knocking down the door for a 27 year old non tender candidate.

2-1 in cleveland

better than a DP, but come on, this is Verlander out there. Have to try and scratch some runs out, move guys over. I don't get it.

Alexei's been crap at the plate since June. It's hot now Alexei, you can start hitting again.

The Indians sure have been pesky at home this year.

 

I think they have something like 10 or 11 walkoff victories alone at Jacobs/Progressive. And yet they can't beat the White Sox to save their lives.

 

 

Around 50 pitches for Verlander through 3. Pretty normal pattern for him.

Including last night when he drove in the tying run with 2 outs.

Anybody hear how brutal Peavy's numbers become after 70 pitches this season? Something like .485 BAA. Dealing or not, Ozzie gotta bring Humber in tonight if Jake starts struggling.

so maybe de Aza is going to be traded?

If STL trades Rasmus, they will need another OF.

Jackson, Thornton, and de aza for rasmus? He is in the lineup for stl tonight tho

They've already got a different kid that LaRussa likes playing there.

But but... He should have won the gg last year

Teahen did everything right he possibly could on that play, Jackson just BARELY beat it out.

 

Huge inning for Peavy here to get through still scoreless for the Tiggers.

That would be a crazy overpay, IMO.

Jay? Yes, but they will need a backup.

Tigers look desperate and antsy up there.

Lol Hawks call of that strikeout

you don't think he could be included with a deal along with EJax? I certainly do.

That would be a crazy overpay, IMO.

 

You're giving up a rental, a 34 year old reliever who is owed $12 more million, and a fringe AAAA player for a guy who was a 4.5 WAR player last season. I'll take it.

Here we go. Uh-oh.

 

 

Thornton's not exactly a huge bargain contract at his age and getting paid like a psuedo-closer. It's a fair deal, but he shouldn't be the most coveted LHR unless you're a team with a top 5-7 payroll.

Smells like trouble.

DP coming here.

DP's typically don't smell like roses, either.
