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…

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.

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.
