Probably good we learned what we had with Drabek early was possible. We had bullpen decisions to make, now we get to see them.

Drabek has a nasty 2 seamer.

Not really.

 

That Flowers throw into center

Miscommunication between Alexei & Micah

Abreu missing that grounder

 

 

Ya, pretty embarrassing. Fundamental baseball isn't that tough.

After this blowout and a day off, i am expecting the offense to expldode on Wednesday. the "INNER" coffee has to be percolating, and after a day off from this embarassment, there will be adenalin to murder KC on wednesday. My prediction 8+ to 2

Drabek might be worse than Ronald Belisario if that is humanly possible.

 

I wouldn't worry about him too much, I don't think he will be on the roster for very long

Another year of watching awful defense and listening to Hawk Harrelson. Damn.

I'm pretty positive I could get a hit off Drabek.

 

Unless you played college baseball I highly doubt it.

 

 

At this point, I hope we battle with these last three outs. Say what you will about last year's team, but they at least battled till the end even though they sucked. Don't roll over and die so easily boys.

Wear a bag over your head to the game this weekend.

I did, and he's throwing some meatballs. Probably couldn't touch that 2 seam tho.

Here we go...

This game is like a car accident on a rail road tracks of a oncoming run away train lol

And Beckham will be playing!!

As Tobias Funke would say, let's get some balls in the hole so we have a good taste in our mouths.

I did as well. Hitting fastballs is not hard. The different between college and the pro's however is the secondary pitches move a hell of a lot more. You are facing the friday night pitcher every day.

I'm fine watching them get beat playing well, but this is pretty pathetic. They don't look ready at all.

Hopefully LaRoche does something this at bat.

We need 9 Jose Abreus.

Heh.... nope.

Well I can't wait to file this one away forever

Eh his point stands. I played DIII and we used to crank the pitching machine up to 90 on occasion. Once you got it timed it wasn't that hard. Now, I played against a kid that got drafted by the Tribe in round 9. That kid has incredible stuff for DIII but only got to AA before flaming out. Right now Drabek looks like a high A ball guy.

Great game thread guys

Take this series and get home.
