Anyone see Britton pitch before? Is he legit or just off to a good start?

Orioles 2nd best prospect according to Baseball America. Last year, at midseason, he was listed as 10th best in all of baseball.

We'll see how legit he is when the hitters start to adjust to him. For now, he's a tough matchup.

Time to restart the streak :nanner:

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 6:26 pm

I wonder if many pitchers fear our 7-8-9 hitters.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:10 pm

Sloth batting clean-up...... OK, I guess!

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:27 pm

The decision not to rest Santana Wednesday gets curioser and curioser.

Game Notes:

Sipp and Perez have yet to allow a run in 10.2 IP and hitters are a combined 2-33 against them.

Since opening day starters have a 2.57 ERA and relievers a 2.08.

.989 fielding % for Tribe with on 3 infield errors.

Indians are:
6-1 when scoring first
7-0 when leading after 6innings
7-0 with lead after 7innings
8-0 when leading after 8innings

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:07 pm

Masterson better stay down in the zone tonight. The O's picked up about 1000HRs in the off season. They may be old but they know what to do with up in the zone.

The hat is yellow people, he's starting with yellow.

King of the who?

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:20 pm

Britton is legit, down here in Virginia they rave about the kid. You dont get too many left handed sinkerballers.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:22 pm

The new and improved masterson shows no sign of disappearing

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:26 pm

Pink hat

by **Erie Warrior** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:34 pm

Masterson beating the shit out of the infield grass. I like it.

by **Erie Warrior** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:36 pm

Lucky. WTF was he thinking going to 3rd?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:38 pm

Ready to go 3-0 when Louuuuu feature sin a game

c'mon now

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:38 pm

LaPorta.....just missed

by **BruceK** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:39 pm

Yeah, a LaPorta triple, that's something you don't see every day

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:39 pm

Maybe Marson and Everett should play some more!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:39 pm

Who Knows, maybe he thought there was a sandwhich over there

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:41 pm

SAFE!!!!!!! :nanner:

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:42 pm

That man right there. Is gonna be great

by **Erie Warrior** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:42 pm

Oh sweet Jeebus, small ball. Great bunt!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:44 pm

Wooo! Take that rookie

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:51 pm

4-0. More solid fundamental hitting.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:52 pm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:53 pm

Not seen that call for a while

by **bookelly** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:54 pm

That's just stupid.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:54 pm

Everett should have had that one

by **andrew6586** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:03 pm

We just got LaPorta'd

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:03 pm

Fine play from Everett. Jamey Carroll-like.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:17 pm

yes sir.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:21 pm

Running out of superlatives for Brantley

After that stolen base attempt we can call him DOA Brantley

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:25 pm

Just heard Hammy confirm what some writers were talking about in the press box before the game: pretty decent chance Grady is back with the big league team this weekend. Worked out here today.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:32 pm

Not a pitch you want to see thrown in an 0-2 count

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:36 pm

Hoping for 8 innings from masty

only 80 pitches thrown through 6 and he's facing the latter part of the order in the 7th

by **T_N_T** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:39 pm

pronk!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:39 pm

Booooooom! 5-1

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:40 pm

PRONK SMASH!

by **Erie Warrior** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:40 pm

Pronk-nasty!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:44 pm

Pronk just missed the one eralier by getting underneath it but didnt miss that one

90 pitches through 7..... try and push him all the way!

I was about to post something to that effect :)

by **British_Pharaoh** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:51 pm

Good game for LaPorta today. Nice to see the bottom of the order do some damage tonight.

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:52 pm

He hit it right into the teeth of a huge wind too. Crushed it. Just 30 seconds after I posted on Twitter it would take driver and 6-iron to hit a ball outta here tonight.

by **peeker643** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:55 pm

5000+ walk up tonight.

It's definitely a good sign

Great to hear that. The Indians have a chance to become the #1 team in town again if the Browns are locked out and with the Cavs rebuilding.

When I saw your avatar, I first asked myself why Stacy Keech was at a Mariners presser.
