7/28 vs. Oakland

[BSN07]

Orsillo is killing Ecks LOL

[Teddyballgame10]

To much plate on that one.

[Dojji]

Changeup right over the fat part of the plate. what the heck kind of 2 strike pitch is that"

[WhiskeyBreath]

I knew someone would respond by mentioning Mauer. I think he stays with the Twins. Of course I would love to see him here.

 

Suzuki is better than average both defensively and offensively. Not a big star. Just very good.

 

Suzuki reminds me of Kendall. A catcher that plays a huge amount of his teams games, slightly better than avg. offensively, good defense, can't slug, but without the great OBP.

[BSN07]

He needs to stop the bleeding

[Dojji]

He need to stop the bleeding

 

Buchholz doesn't do that.

 

We're watching right now the difference between a young, underdeveloped Lester, and Buchholz. The difference is that Lester can make a pitch under pressure

[TheKilo]

Can we Old Yeller Mike Lowell please?

 

He must have bitched something fierce to take LaRoche's bat out of the lineup.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Tbf, that was ball to Lowell was smoked.

[BSN07]

Hopefully he gets his s*** together. I agree with Eck. He shouldn't be showing these guys everything the first time through. They should make him go FB/CU or FB/CB the 1st time through.

I make no claims that he's a game changer. But he hits at about .280 and plays very solid D.

I think he would be a very reasonable investment. Of course my opinion of him is based mostly on his play against the Sox. Where he has played very well.

[a700hitter]

Buchholz is struggling thru a hapless A's lineup.

[TheKilo]

Lowell better hit it's the only thing justifying his existence right now.

 

NICE AB MIKE YOU ****

Can we trade Bay please;)

[Dojji]

I used to really, really like Mike Lowell...`

[Spudboy]

I like Jim Rice's Daughter. Sort of a young Donna Summer.

 

Just an observation from a lech.

[a700hitter]

Gameday had that last fastball as 97

Eck says the gun is hot tonight. He is very skeptical of the 97-98 readings tonight. Maybe the guns are pumped to give Buchholz confidence.

[BSN07]

So nice to watch Bay and Lowell routinely ground to SS every AB...

[The_Destroyah]

Buch is young, and youth brings inconsistency at best, no reason to be worried Dojji. Yes Buck is no Lester, but Lester isnt Buck, you make those comparisons as though every elite young pitcher develops the same.

[Dojji]

In before the 2 strike bomb by Cust.

[BSN07]

They are juiced. Some put up a chart earlier, it was like 1-3 MPH less then the Nesn gun.

[a700hitter]

[Dojji]

Finding the edge of the strike zone a bit better this inning so far.

[Dojji]

can't throw out a catcher. Uggh.

[Teddyballgame10]

He'd look great in a Blue Jays uni.

 

Yes he would.

[a700hitter]

He's going to have a hard time going more than 4 innings tonight.

[suns]

63 pitches through 3.

[TheKilo]

Rays up 3-0

[suns]

Rays up 3-0

 

That's the only good thing tonight so far.

7:07pm: Jon Heyman tweets an AL executive's comment that Clay Buchholz, Michael Bowden and Ryan Westmoreland "won't get it done" to obtain Halladay
