Not a bad change there from Schill, he can sit at 91-92 if he has an effective change.

 

Unbelievable. This lineup is a pitcher grinding machine. 27 pitches for Meche-man through 1. I'm stupefied. They are the grindiest grinders to ever grrrrrrind and grindel grandel pitching grendel. Grrrr.

 

Do I sould like anyone?

 

 

Hahahaha

[jacksonianmarch]

Alex Gordon with the sacks packed. Cmon kiddo.

[ORS]

Schill's getting peppered.

[TheKilo]

I have visions of last year's KC game with Schilling right now.

[jacksonianmarch]

Schill's getting peppered.

 

he is throwing 90-91 right now. And that splitty he threw to Teahan was terrible.

 

BTW, Schill is much fatter than he was last yr.

 

There is the cheese. 93 high and hard, kid fouls it off.

[Thumper]

My God bases loaded with hopefully a soon to be 2 outs.

 

Schilling isn't looking so hot.

[jacksonianmarch]

Big Schill at 22 pitches. And he K's Gordon. f***.

[TheKilo]

Dirty split

[ORS]

He's working a 2-seamer today. That's something new. It used to be arrow straight gas from Schill. I think we may need to prepare ourselves for an adjustment period with Curt. I'm confident he'll make the transition, but there might be a few bumps along the way.

[jacksonianmarch]

that was about as late as I have ever seen a hitter be. WOW.

[ORS]

He's stretching it out, 93-94 with the gas now.

[jacksonianmarch]

full count. Sacks packed. Great game thus far. Schill at 30.

[TheKilo]

Remy's made an excellent point, he hasn't thrown the change in a big count yet.

[jacksonianmarch]

walks a run in. What the hell is going on here?

[Thumper]

WHAT THE HELL SCHILLING?!

 

Walk on tie.

I had said before that I do not think a guy like Schilling will even consider using it in big spots until he is comfortable with it.

 

Ross Gload, acquired in one of the worst deals I have ever seen. 6'7" power armed lefty dealt for a no hit, no glove 30 yr old 1b. dumb.

Understandable, but it would be a nice change of pace pitch - especially if he threw it early on in a count.

 

 

edit - Finally out of the inning, it's vital the bats work Meche some more.

[Thumper]

Atleast they stopped the damage before it got worse.

[riverside sluggers]

33 pitches for Curt, I smell the bullpen warming up already. This is looking like a long game

it will be. Schill may be learning that throwing 94 with regularity is gonna take a bit out of him. His splitter is still mid 80s. He needs to slow it down and he will regain his effectiveness.

Want to know something else thats dumb? He got the opening day nod over both Emil Brown & Reggie Sanders

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice damage control by Schill could have been a lot worse, with the pitch count, Schill will have trouble making it through the sixth today. Looks like we will see the bullpen.

[MANNYHOF24]

Tek with a feble pop out to second base.

[TheKilo]

Awesome job by Tek and Coco.

 

AND PEDROIA WHOOOO

 

 

The Black Hole strikes!

[jacksonianmarch]

Duddy thrown out by a mile.

[ORS]

Not smart.

[riverside sluggers]

Pedroia makes good contact but for some reason keeps huffing on over to 2nd base. Meche gets by with just a 6 pitch inning

[CalvnHobs6]

Goddamnit Pedroia.

[MANNYHOF24]

What the hell was Pedroia thinking? It was a nice hit though. Let's see if Schilling can settle down.

Biggest part of your post. That bottom 3 needs to eat pitches cause the top 5 will see their share. And they force Schill to get back on the hill quickly after a s***** 1st.
