That is some of the best manicured sand/lines on an OF warning track I've ever seen.

95mph there.

With a RHP on the mound, the Indians REPLACE lefty hitting Travis Hafner with right handed hitter Aaron Cunningham. All they needed was a fly ball.....??

And then 89mph....

Fastball velocities and location all over the place

After walking the bases loaded, Carlos Santana hits a walkoff single.

 

Good job Seattle, way to s*** down your leg.

And then 89mph....

One would assume this is not a 4 seam fastball.

No more walks.

Fastball velocities and location all over the place

 

Generally changing speeds and locations are encouraged......

No score after 2 innings.

lol changing speeds on your fastball, not so much.

 

if the locations were all in/near the strike zone, I'd be down for that!

 

but hey, he's making the pitches he needs so far.

Dunn slumping

Beckham is clearly looking to go to the right side now on nearly every pitch.

 

That's resulting in opposing pitchers throwing inside on him...Gordon has to learn how to turn on those pitches again.

 

It's one thing to look up the middle or just to make solid contact, but limiting yourself to 1/3rd of the field (where it's very hard for you to drive the ball out), not such a good strategy. Gordon out-thinking himself again.

 

 

Apparently, Mike Scioscia inquired about Beckham (with Ed Farmer) and wanted to know the backstory about his personality and make-up...said the Angels would be interested in acquiring him.

 

 

Walking Konerko makes way too much sense. It takes 3 singles to score him, what are the odds of that happening?

Dunn slumping

 

2 for his last 20 with like 12 Ks.

Dunn slumping

 

4-40 with 23 K against LHP. He can't be batting 3rd vs LHP, especially if you have the equally poor against LHP in De Aza batting 1st.

Hawk still yammering about payback for the hard slide last night. If you'll notice, Alexei didn't trying anything sliding into 2nd today.

THERE'S ONE.

Probably to play 3b then, as they have Kendrick at 2nd. Knowing KW, he'll go after Callapso just cause he's a Sox killer.
