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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

this pitching is simply ridiculous
every run allowed is an absolute surprise at this point

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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

is there a chance we trade Aaron Laffey this year?
No.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
