Well, he does get a unique line in the box score … 0.1 IP, 0 batters faced.

What’s the logic for having Iron start the inning – and shit, as i type this Ichiro with a single – is it that if Steel does NOT retire the lead-off batter, Iron has to come in with men on base? Is Wedge married to the closer-starts-an-inning philosophy even though Iron routinely went 4 or more outs last year?
I imagine he’s married to the Iron-starts-the-9th philosophy but might put him in there early, to get more than four outs.

Based on the Hamilton discussion, am I the only person originally from Ohio who hates Hang on Sloopy?
Have we had the mandatory reminiscing session about the 1995 ALCS when Kenny Lofton scored from second on a passed ball against the Ms?
zz
Let’s talk about the 12(?) run comeback instead.
"the most vehement Yankee-hating guy I know" - Jay
It’s all good. The Mariner comeback – I was on Johnston Island at the time – saw us down by 17-18 and kinda gave up and went to the gym. I’m workin’ out and onnna the guys says, “hey Chuck, you’re boyz look like they might come back” and I figure he’s bustin’ my balls, right? But I look at the TV in the Stair Master Room and “Holy Tris Speaker!” They’re commin’ back right? So I call my bro in DC – the one with the Maryland plates that say “GOTRIBE” and we’re both freakin’ out – good times!

especially ‘97. down 2-1 in the series, then orel and wright shut ‘em down. just amazing. chuck – you’ll love this – i was proctoring an exam at the local college before game 4 and someone left a yankees hat behind. i took it home, put it on the driveway, doused it with lighter fluid and burned it beyond all recognition. turned the whole series around, i tell ya.

I was golfing at my local Country Club the other day. I went inside the proshop and was looking at a titlelist hat that had the Indians Chief Wahoo on the side. The guy running the pro shop procedes to tell me that he is a bit of an Indians fan because he played baseball with Blake’s brother. He said Casey is a great guy.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him that no one likes Casey…..
GFP,
I know you don’t care, but this is funny:
Underwood earlier about soccer: “I saw Manchester United playing some team from Brazil…”
They were playing Barcelona.

I’ve been out and about but it’s nice to come back and see that Paul Byrd had another great outing. Almost eight innings? Absurd!
Need more bats, though. What a silly sport this is when Hafner gets a day off to shake the slump, Indians have a seemingly so-so lineup and go off for eight runs, then the next day Hafner is back, everyone else for the most part is sleeping and Hafner will probably be responsible for this win. Good stuff.
He could have finished the 8th, too, Wedge just played the odds, putting in Steel to face the lefty Ichiro.
by Jay on May 1, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Victor caught a guy stealing at 2B, hence Ichiro leads off the 9th.

This maybe the longest half inning in the history of baseball.
"the most vehement Yankee-hating guy I know" - Jay
Interesting question: is a Betancourt 1-2-3 faster than a Borowski 3-run save involving several hits, walks, and runs?
Okay, I guess I should have read your comment when it popped up while I was typing.
by Jay on May 1, 2008 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, Betancourt may end up allowing half as many baserunners as JoBo but still taking longer to pitch one inning.

I am already mad at Wedge for things he hasn’t even said.
“Casey’s been driving the ball for us, and he’s been making big defensive plays. These things happen to veterans. He’ll be in there tomorrow.”
See, this is not rational. I mean, it’s not rational for me to invent quotes.
So you still think that pitching in the ninth isn’t special?
"the most vehement Yankee-hating guy I know" - Jay
God I didn’t even consider it until it was just mentioned that now Byrdie doesn’t get the win. That fucking sucks. Way to help out our starting pitchers that have finally gotten out of early season slumps.
It’s not new to me. That’s been our rule since I was 11.

Well, it’s not like he’s building a HOF case for himself, but W’s could conceivably affect his next payday.
I’m sure he’s deeply pleased to have gone 7.2 scoreless. He knows he kicked ass tonight.
by Jay on May 1, 2008 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions
As awful as that was, I would not advocate using Marte as a defensive sub. He looks great out there in general, but he hasn’t demonstrated the surehanded consistency that you should start putting him in there just for defense.
On the other hand, it’s not like Casey hits all that well.
That’s what I’m saying, I don’t think you make someone a defensive sub unless the difference is clear.
Frankly, Marte doesn’t get enough reps at 3B to stay sharp there.

I don’t know what to say. They’re sick and they’re not getting better. They don’t look playoff bound. At all.
at least the Royals are coming.
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

If there’s another bright spot, it’s that the defense has been good. The offense will get going at some point, but the defense isn’t murdering the rotation and bullpen as in 2006, so we’re certainly not sunk yet.

I’m just scared. If the lights go back off for any of Cliff, Byrd, or Westbrook I don’t know where we’re at. Especially if Fausto doesn’t figure it out.

Well, it’s going to be tough for either Peralta or Hafner to hit a walkoff at this point, but it’s still possible.
I’m not really too concerned, everyone in our division has massive flaws. Hell, we could be the new NL Central and not even realize it yet.
In an odd way, I prefer to see him getting fooled out of the zone rather than making horrible contact or watching strike three sail by.
you know it’s going bad when those are the preference choices

the 2-1 win. oops.
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

I dont know about that, it was an appreciable diatribe.

Big picture, I guess, is that twice on the homestand (like hammy said) the Indians found a way to pull it out late in the game that they probably didnt deserve to win.

No one in baseball deserves to win. We just sucked less than Seattle tonight. I’ll take it every time.
we lost more slowly

I guess “deserving” to win is a sore point here, so let me rephrase.
They found a way to win despite hitting like a shit. Bitches.

Wow. Pretty glad I missed all that, looks like it was more stress than I can deal with at the moment.
Hire 2-4 with 2 2Bs and an RBI. Were Pronks balls hit hard?
Il faut d'abord durer.
The double to right was, the one to left was a flare. The walk was a very good at bat. Garko was better too. Blake was abysmal. Gutz looked lost in the clutch. Asdrubal was clutch. Wedge is royally pissed about the inconsistent approach.
“We lost more slowly”? “They’ll come around”? It’s like the anti-Mountains of Change thread in here.

Nobody’s going to go off about Fultz, or say we should have signed Fukudome? Nobody?

Who’s the equipment manager? He should be fired for not tightening the strings on Casey Blake’s glove. We need a new pinata to beat upon .. Shelton and Skinner are becoming old hat.
Just read the recap … Skinner sent Hafner … on Ichiro? What the hell? Was he not there last night?

As good as our starting pitching has been, White Sox have allowed fewest runs in AL, third best in majors. And that’s with Jose Contreras in the rotation.
Can’t assume the out and it was followed by a hit, so in their minds Ichiro is standing at 3rd when that hit happens and it doesn’t matter about the throw.

yes, but wasn’t there a wild pitch involved as well . . . or do only passed balls lead to unearned runs. i feel like i should know this.
Jay/Ryan, its early hours of Saturday morning and I’ve had plenty following a dinner out, last two games while at work I’ve been unable to access SB Nation because it says it is down for routine maintenance, yet I get home and find there has been a game thread. Is this some sort of site problem or my work blocking it? Do you know? Following the game via ESPN Gamecast is hard work. Whilst I might not comment much it was interesting to share the same emotions albeit 10 hours late reading the game thread!!! Droooooobs yeah!!!
One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play

It may be that your office or their access provider is doing some kind of caching to boost performance. I assume you’ve tried every possible way to reload? It may be embarrassing to report this to your tech staff at work, but it’s the kind of thing they should want to know about, as I’m sure it doesn’t affect only this site.
