I’m wearing my F-Cab shirt. If his brother stops me in front of the hot dog vendor, I’ll have a heart attack.

I’ve got a good feeling about CC’s start today.
My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Your uncle molests collies.
Even ignoring that fact. I liked the progression from game one to game two. I would expect him to continue that trend today. Now add in the fact that it’s the Royals, and it only improves his odds.

Does Carrasco have an amazing move or something? He did this the other day too.

Unless Bloomquist was running on first movement there’s no reason to be caught leaning.

I caught Brantley’s crouch at the plate out of the corner of my eye, and for a second, I thought it was Victor. Then I remembered that the world is a horrible place.

It depends. Does that mean you chuckle at my antics or does it mean that you are this close to banning me?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
Definitely the chuckling. Almost woke Sam with a big snort at a comment you made last night about trying to open a box.
It was very sad. That box was some graduate origami student’s project or something, because it was folded and tucked in such a way that it didn’t need tape. And then it was taped, too! My tooth-gnashing was audible for miles.
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
That’s what box cutters are for!

That was ugly. He had worked the count, fought off some tough pitches and he blows it with that. Just goes to show his level of suckiness and youth/lack of experience.

What it shows me is the degree to which he feels he needs to “cheat” to catch up to a very ordinary fastball. How do you not hold up on a pitch over your head?
In his defense it was a tough count. He had already seen different three pitches from Davies. But still, It’s not like it was Doc Gooden in his prime or Felix Hernandez where those three pitches are all plus to plus plus and even with two strikes you might have to sit on something.

Some times if you watch Project Runway someone will send a garment down the runway that is badly sewn, badly designed, and badly fit—and they win anyway.
Kyle Davies is that gament.

My upstairs neighbor used to stomp around suddenly around 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. most nights. He died on Thursday.
I didn’t get to employ my chant. :(

Whoooo! Getting one hit by an erratic pitcher with an ERA of 5 and a quarter! Oh, the excitement.

We shall take this pain and humiliation and use it to inspire us in other ways. I vote interpretive pottery.

I can get behind this statement. I’ve seen enough from him already that I’m pretty sure he’s going to be at least serviceable.

He has been hit hard. But he also misses bats at a reasonable rate and just from watching him it looks likes he has had some control issues. It doesn’t show in his BB%, but it seems like he misses over the middle a lot. Middle and up.

by gorilla_baller on Sep 13, 2009 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but there are different reasons that he could be missing over the middle. The first and worst is that his ability to locate pitches is just that poor. The second reason is that he’s trying his hardest to make sure he doesn’t walk anyone. In the process, he is throwing more pitches over the plate trying to be too fine. The third, and most probable, is that he’s thrown a total of 3 games and about 15 major league innings and a combination of nerves and inexperience are taking their toll.

Thank goodness Cy Young’s afternoon is done. Now they’re going to get it. Eight-run explosion, right here.

You know Wedge has thrown in the towel when he sends R. Perez out.

I think Manning couldn’t be more wrong. I think, in fact, if you know how to pitch, and if you are then a successful closer for one year, then you have nothing more to learn about being a closer. What is it exactly that Manning thinks Wood is still learning?
The team shops now stock Valbuena shirs. I saw some Carroll shirts that I hadn’t noticed before, but I think they must have been around for a while.
