O-Cab!!!

I'm pretty sure I throw harder than Jeff Francis.

Good lord he is terrible.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:30 pm

Nice OC!!

Now, let's hope we can get enough of this game in before the storms hit (if they do).

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:31 pm

What's the weather looking like boys?

What works for him when he's 'on'? Pinpoint control?

KC getting a Hannahaning

The Mannahan!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:35 pm

C'mon Grady..... don't want to make 2 outs in the same inning.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:39 pm

Batting around is good.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:45 pm

Two mistake pitches from Tomlin.... both crushed!

by **Rat_Tail** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:45 pm

Needs to work on giving up that long ball

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:54 pm

Didn't MLB change the rule about rain-delays? Don't you have to finish the game now?

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:57 pm

DUNC SMASH!

by **googleeph2** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:59 pm

C'mon, get those 2 runs back.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:07 pm

Sloth giveth and, I guess, he also taketh away!

I don't think so, just 5 innings or 4½ if the home team is winning.

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:09 pm

I think they finish the game if it is tied or if the home team is losing and they haven't had their last at-bat.

Rule 4.12: SUSPENDED GAMES.
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if
the game is terminated for any of the following reasons:
(1) A curfew imposed by law;
(2) A time limit permissible under league rules;
(3) Light failure or malfunction of a mechanical field device under control of the
home club. (Mechanical field device shall include automatic tarpaulin or water
removal equipment);
(4) Darkness, when a law prevents the lights from being turned on;
(5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and
before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more
runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead; or
(6) It is a regulation game that is called with the score tied.

Ok Thanks.

So they have to get through 4 1/2. Hence the numerous throws to first.

Not that I'm scoreboard watching but I just noticed all our division rivals are presently losing

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:24 pm

just missed it, good approach. Choo is heating up.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:25 pm

Raking. Everyone.

by **googleeph2** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:29 pm

A Shelly Duncan needs to be able to hit the ball to the right side. Any time he needs to.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:34 pm

Is it me or does Shapiro sound more "human" now he's the president.

It's almost like a "i don't make the baseball decisions, so i can just say what i think" kind of approach.

There was still the normal company line about the market and "accepting the current climate" but, apart from that, he came across OK.

Alex Gordon has seen about 30 pitches today it seems.

3-2 counts in all 3 at bats

He's a tough out.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:00 pm

Everyone has a hit now

Isn't that nice

by **Cease** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:10 pm

Congrats John Adams. I hit the drum once as a kid in the late 80s. One my best muni memories.

Anyone else?

Never knew he let people hit the drum. I've only had a picture taken with him (obviously). I will make sure to hit the drum once when I am at the game this weekend.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:18 pm

You have a 5 run lead. Throw strikes and don't walk 8 and 9 hitters

by **andrew6586** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:24 pm

Wow this manager is completely giving up by bringing in his closer in the 7th. I've never seen a guy concede defeat this early.

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:26 pm

Kearns swing is really long and loopy. He's not pulling his hands through the zone at all. Fungus.

by **googleeph2** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:38 pm

From now on, hit Francouer. Just plunk the guy. I don't care if there is a guy on base. Drill him in the ribs.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:54 pm

Ballgame. 9 in a row at home.

I'm really enjoying this winning team. Wave at my Red Sux neighbors every day! Here's a picture of one of them> :bag:

If our Tribe keeps up at this pace they just might forget how to lose.
