Guess who all is manning the outfield corners tonight...

You have got to be kidding me. You have got to be FREAKING kidding me, right? With Gutz numbers at home, the Indians are playing Jason Michaels and his .048 average. 1/21 is .048. A .220 OPS. I know its a SSS... but, play Gutz already!

Michaels batting a robust .048
It's the Arizona talking, really.

I hate off days. I feel like it's been forever. I have no idea how I survive college football season, with a week in between games.

Blake's and Dellucci's beards are fairly scruffy, like playoff beards in hockey. If they actually are playoff beards, these two are going to look like the Smith Brothers by October.
Of course, they already hit like the Smith Brothers...

Guys ... use your heads. Is it not obvious to you by now that Gootz has some very minor injury that's bothering him? Occam's razor, guys -- Wedge being an idiot is not the simplest explanation for this.
by Jay on Apr 11, 2008 6:54 PM EDT 0 recs
Still.... a part of me thinks Wedge is sitting Gutz for Michaels because of some weird match up scenrio that makes sense only in Wedge's head.

do you think that HBP in game 1 or 2?
my helmet has, like, no pine tar on it.

Hell, I don't know. Maybe he's got hemorrhoids, or the clap. Some info doesn't make it out of the clubhouse.

Popout, strikeout, hard hit ball that Dellucci should have caught but took a poor route on, and a bloop single. I've seen worse innings.

I'm not completely convinced that the run preceded the out on that play.
by Fiddlesticks on Apr 11, 2008 7:12 PM EDT 0 recs
It did, the camera showed the run cross the plate and then cut to the out at second

I'm pretty positive it doesn't matter. It would become an ump's judgment in that situation and an ump would never overturn that. Too tough of a call.
I'm officially removing myself as president of the Gutz for MVP campaign. He will have to earn it back.

Maybe the ump will change his mind and remove that run in the 6th inning. Not that anything like that would ever happen!

CC needs to never pitch against the A's

It's his big contract year. He's pitching to impress.

I'd bat him 4th with Vic 3rd until Hafner can put together some decent ABs.

Hafner's not doing bad. He had a quality at bat the first time up.....just not a quality outcome.

And you thought that our corner outfielders only killed us at the plate...

We shouldn't be moving valuable Cliff Lee starts in order to get CC more starts

The sooner Francisco and Choo get up here the better.

Book it: whoever starts for Oakland tomorrow will pitch a shutout. (Think Chase Wright)

unless he pitches tonight (not likely, since we can't hit)

CC looks like he's wearing saddle shoes, like a professional golfer, or perhaps a teeny bopper.

SHAP: retract your highest offer before he takes it.

Who the hell are the A's? I haven't hear of 90% of these guys.
And they are trouncing CC

You think CC thinks there, "wow, that ball was 4 inches away from ending my career. I'll take what Fausto got." Let's hope.

too early to suggest an injury? velocity doesn't suggest it. but his last six starts have just been ugly.

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Yeah, let's table those extension discussions fatboy, so you can 'focus' on pitching.

Agreed. That was Scout/Cleveland.com esque.

For the record, Lebron went 10 for 10 for 24 points in the first quarter of the cavs game...If you need a silver lining. :)

Holy crap, that's awesome. I wish I care 1/30th as much about basketball as I do about baseball.

Goddammit. Nothing better than coming home after a terrible day to see your team's ace getting shelled and your two worst players starting in the outfield.

Grady was playing pretty deep there no? But I guess you can't blame him since CC is getting bombed out there.

67 more innings pitched for Julio, and he'll have a career high. Should happen by mid-May.

Looks like his playoff suckitude was more physical than mental. Whatever it was, its carried over ......
