Yikes

Damn I thought that one was gone

Another homer lost to the bad weather. Great swing though, encouraging.

 

Think Lillibridge with limited play is leading the AL with stolen bases...could be a nice tandem at the top of the line-up when/if they finally decide to bench Gordon Beckham or send him down.

How long do you think Gordon has?

Rios is going to kill somebody in right field.

I wonder if he communicates at all out there?

My guess is he has all of May to show SIGNIFICANT improvement otherwise he'll be sent down.

They were talking on the Score this morning that there's a date coming soon that Beckham would have to be sent down, otherwise he'd have to clear waivers. They said May 5th, but weren't sure. I know his 3 years in the bigs would be June 4th, but maybe the date they were speaking of is sooner. Anyway, I hope it's soon, because he can't hit a fastball. Send him down until he can.

Well, he won't clear waivers as he's not yet in the Josh Fields/Brian Anderson category of bad, so they better send him down now for a month.

Rain looming? May only have an hour left in this game.

Is Adam Dunn to the point you like seeing him step to the plate?

Pujols 0/3 and down to .218 now for the season.

 

Amazingly, Bartolo Colon throwing another shutout against that O's line-up.

 

 

And no idea why Kenneth Williams, Jr. is playing for BIRM when Mitchell should be playing everyday down there.

Yeah you dont want to lose him. So whenever you have to send him down then do it.

Maybe Birmingham has Sunday lineups.

Viciedo, encouragingly, has been turning on more and more balls and pulling them.

 

Looks a lot more aggressive and comfortable up there than a week ago. It's coming. He's the streaky type of hitter who can go on a tear and carry the bottom of the line-up when the weather heats up.

 

Time to trade Gavin Floyd, lol?

 

Of course, if he gets a no-hitter against the Red Sox, it might be the 3rd or 4th story on SportsCenter. Probably still behind Derek Rose and the NFL draft wrap-ups, NBA/NHL playoffs...

What is wrong with you Roger! That's the second one this week!

Yankees have prob already called Kenny to talk about Floyd.

DeAza frustrated by the barely-foul bunt.

 

Tough luck.

 

Pujols finishes 0/4, K, .216. Indians back in first place for the time being. Trout off to an 0 for 7 start as well. And poor Ozzie, everyone's already forgotten about him, mired in the NL East basement and losing 7 of their last 8 games.

 

 

That was a fast half-inning. Gavin always gives you that feeling that he'll either throw a no-hitter or completely implode and blow the lead in games like this, with no in-between where the bullpen can get warmed up quickly enough.

Let's score more than 1 inning.

putting way too much pressure on the pitching staff. Beckett certainly looks better than he did in the 1st, but c'mon. He's a shadow of his former self, guy doesn't throw over 92 any more.

I think that's going to have to be something they get accustomed to...

MLB sent out the tweet

DAMN.

Now G has to avoid getting rattled/losing control with a runner who can run at 1b.

Gordon would've had that one.

No no gone~
