First class or just Business?

New thread = getting runners home from third with less than two outs.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

I didn’t realize Andy Call was leaving the Canton Repository. I didn’t read him daily, but I thought he was one of the better Tribe beat writers.

by Fundamentals on May 15, 2008 2:15 PM EDT   0 recs

That just sounds too much like suppository, I’m sorry.

by supermarioelia on May 15, 2008 2:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s what she said.

ZING!

by emd2k3 on May 15, 2008 2:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s what we always called it growing up.

by Fiddlesticks on May 15, 2008 2:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Does anyone know where he’s going? Undermanning only said he was going to Wisconsin to be an SID, but didn’t identify which school.

by Fiddlesticks on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Madison Baptist School, I think?

by painaxl on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Baptist something sounds familiar. the radio guys said it and it went in one ear and out the other.

Give Marte a Chance.

by westbrook on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks. Probably Maranatha Baptist.

i’m still slow on the draw. i blame last night’s jameson’s.

HIRE LAFFEY FULL TIME.

by emd2k3 on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   1 recs

Laffey with 6 K’s. Amazing stuff.

by Toxicadam on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Go ahead Laffey! Do the complete game thing.

-Erik

by drerikbrady on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Hire Laffey!! Nice game.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Except that whole giving up a run thing. What a loser!

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, it was unearned.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I feel just as comfortable with Jhonny Peralta flagging down high pop-ups as I did with Omar. Even when Jhonny’s struggled with the ball on the ground, he’s always taken charge and flagged down the high flies.

by xrickx on May 15, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Laffey at an even 100 pitches … does he come out for the 8th?

by talonk on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT   0 recs

Naw. Pen is rested.

by xrickx on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed. Great job Aaron. Unbelievable.

by dgcambridge on May 15, 2008 2:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Did anyone else notice that in Ryan Bruan’s picture on MLB.com about his eight year deal, that he looks alot like Brendan Frasor from The Scout

Nice touch.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

this pitching is simply ridiculous

every run allowed is an absolute surprise at this point

GHONE!!

My name is Erik Brady, and I approve of Jhonny Peralta htting home runs.

i like laffey. i hope we dont have to trade him for a bat.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:20 PM EDT   0 recs

We don’t. Need to trade Laffey, that is.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ive been seeing rumors…involving atkins and laffey. they probably dont hold water, but still…just the thought scares me.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Speculation, not rumor. Covered extensively yesterday.

by SuddenSam on May 15, 2008 2:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

is this the 6th thread this not a rumor, not even speculation has come up?

by Brick. on May 15, 2008 2:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Given how virulently that’s spread around, we should come up with a total bullshit rumor of our own & see what we can do with it. Aaron Herr & Danny Sandoval for Pujols is the latest I heard, how about you?

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on May 15, 2008 2:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Barfield for Berkman?

Give Marte a Chance.

by westbrook on May 15, 2008 2:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No no, no real rumors with Laffey. We’re nipping that in the bud.

by dgcambridge on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

that was pure speculation on the part of olney. not substantiated

by dwight on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh
Do I have to kill this every day? No rumors, just wild, baseless speculation by the irresponsible schmoes over at MLBTR.

by Fiddlesticks on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’ve been giving you a hard time, but you really do need to hang around here more. This rumour has been mocked to death on LGT.

by supermarioelia on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Advice: Lurk more.

Disclaimer: this post doesn't mean what you think it means.

by AngG on May 15, 2008 2:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i dont have time to read every single comment ever posted on this site.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If you spend less time spreading baseless rumors that you yourself admit don’t hold water, you might have more time for keeping up with reality.

by Fiddlesticks on May 15, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hence AngG’s advice

by Brick. on May 15, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

wendigo, you are ok with me. I will be your friend.

by Toxicadam on May 15, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This comment with the pic of Jason Michaels is just too funny.

by supermarioelia on May 15, 2008 2:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

EVERYTHING is funnier with Jason Michaels’ mugshot.

by Toxicadam on May 15, 2008 2:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

right, that’s why you lurk. you lurk and read a little here or there and then you post once you get a feel for the way the community works.

Disclaimer: this post doesn't mean what you think it means.

by AngG on May 15, 2008 2:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i do lurk, but i dont check all the game threads.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think we discussed the trade rumors in an actual fanpost, but I forget which one.

Disclaimer: this post doesn't mean what you think it means.

by AngG on May 15, 2008 2:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

those i dont read.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So what, exactly, do you read?

Disclaimer: this post doesn't mean what you think it means.

by AngG on May 15, 2008 2:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

the main entries, the recaps.

this is probably the first time ive actually been a ‘live commenter’ during a game.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:32 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Some of the commenters here are really good and worth reading. You should check out the fanposts. There are some smart dudes and ladies here. (Not to undermine the awesome that isJay and Ryan, of course.)

by AngG on May 15, 2008 2:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This is correct.

by supermarioelia on May 15, 2008 2:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

if we did, it would be one hell of a bat.

by Brick. on May 15, 2008 2:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Let’s hope our guys quit struggling so that doesn’t happen. i would hate to be like Detroit trading away Jurrgens.

by Toxicadam on May 15, 2008 2:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And Gorkys!

by dgcambridge on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

simple answers to simple questions:

is there a chance we trade Aaron Laffey this year?

No.

by APV on May 15, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

thanks. thats all that was necessary, unlike some people in this thread…

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

with each of these last outings from Laffey, his value to the franchise has increased dramatically. He’s got two things which mean he won’t be traded:

a) he’s doing well and likely to keep getting better (sort of, anyway)
b) he’s cheap for the next 4-5 years

by APV on May 15, 2008 2:32 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

exactly. he has a bright future ahead of him.

by wendigo on May 15, 2008 2:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

JHONNY!

Mastny in for Miller in Buffalo. Final line was 6 innings, 2 hits, 2 Ks, 2 BBs, 2 ER (both in the first).

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on May 15, 2008 2:21 PM EDT   0 recs

Very very nice

by talonk on May 15, 2008 2:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Especially since both those walks were the first two batters of the game & he really settled down after the first inning.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on May 15, 2008 2:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes. But, that’s a starter’s pattern, not a relief pitcher. He’s got to get the first guy to be an effective reliever.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m not super worried about him contributing this year as a reliever. If he can stay healthy the rest of the year as a starter & then take Byrd’s spot at the end of the rotation next year, I will be perfectly happy with that.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on May 15, 2008 2:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes. That’s what I’d like to see. I don’t see him as a reliever.

by peter m on May 15, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

and just 76 pitches

by macasson on May 15, 2008 2:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

four runs = win

by ahowie on May 15, 2008 2:22 PM EDT   0 recs

I’m going to count that as a Peralta triple, and then, in the same play, Peralta hitting himself in from third base with nobody out.
