We should have kept Adam Jones as collateral

We’ll develop him, and when you’re ready to contend Baltimore, you can have him.

Is Erik's command off in addition to his slight loss in velocity?

I can’t see the game, so is he being squeezed or is he not commanding his FB.

by ASUBoyd on May 12, 2008 6:01 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Both

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

I wasn't in the other thread so apologies if it's been stated

but has everyone heard about Asdrubal Cabrera’s unassissted triple play?

No?

But I can bet it will be SC’s #1 play tonight…

Barring something ridiculous in the C’s game of course

Was just about to say the same thing

and maybe 6x or 5x cheaper than Brad Wilkerson too?

Volquez is really good

Hamilton was more expensive than Wilkerson

Fair enough

so like trading Raffy Soriano for something actually valuable?

by Fin on May 12, 2008 6:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I know that...

I was trying to think of a quick comparison based on talent, without the starter or reliever distinction. I guess it’d be fair to say Bavasi wouldn’t make that same trade.

But Richie is suspended right now.

Yeah, I didn't it was his best work

I’d much rather see and Ankiel or Grienke story than a Hamilton story, to be honest

Yeah, but he can't repeat it at all. His arm consistency is awful.

That homer Hamilton crushed? 88mph. :/

He isn’t repeating his throwing motion at all and has no command either. Unless he is purposfully pitching around Brandon Boggs. And in that case he needs to grow some balls.

by ASUBoyd on May 12, 2008 6:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Soooooo he'll miss his next start with hip inflammation, no?

I don't like Boston either

but you have to admit LeBron is pretty bad. I can’t believe he’s still the one dimensional offensive player my boss and I debated about 6 years ago.

Talk about an off night

Well to be fair he’s only had one other bad start, and in that one he didn’t give up many runs.

Is the wind blowing out?

Wind blowing out + Ameriquest + Small strike zone = 17-14 M’s loss.

So, yeah..I should have known by now but..

kind of assumed we would win with a 5 spot in the first inning and our “ace” pitching.
