Walker pitches around the very threatening Josh Barfield.

Let's pad this lead boys!

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:10 pm

Man, after Buff claims Byrd or Sabathia are our best starter in today's B-List, Carmona comes out and impresses again. Now, yes, Sabathia is the best guy....but Carmona is right up there.

I want him in the rotation the rest of the year. He is ready. Will be very interesting to see what we do when Westy comes off the DL, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it as a lot can happen between now and then.

Way to mail it in Tejada.

Casey Blake grounded into a fielder's choice so he is ... safe? What happened there?

Tejada took his sweet time and underhanded it to Roberts. Barfield beat it out.

And Pronk is wide fucking awake!!!!!!!!

Today, we spell redemption H-A-F-N-E-R

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:16 pm

Great hustle by Barfield. Tejada fielded the ground ball, and made a very lazy throw to 2B where Barfield was hustling like hell and beat the throw.

And, wow, talk about stuffing it in Tejada's face there....Hafner goes yard with a granny.

by **Steve Buffum** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:17 pm

Does that count as Pronk getting hot?

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:17 pm

Hell, we could actually use Davis today now that we DFA'ed him. Damn.

Going in to Anaheim, it most certainly does. He rocks the ball out there.

by **Steve Buffum** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:17 pm

By the way, at 9-1, I want to see Eddie Moo out there, not Oldberto.

by **dmcdougal** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:18 pm

doubtful that Mujica is out there though...

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:19 pm

Hafner's OPS is 1.129 in ANA. .317 7 17 career. 16 games, 59 AB.

He also has a triple in Angel Stadium, so look out cycle.

You called it. Now, why the fuck not?

(It's Mastny, which is fine, but ... why the fuck not?)

by **dmcdougal** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:24 pm

lol good stats. Should be a great series, especially since we miss Colon and we own Ervin Santana

by **neoleo** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:26 pm

Nice inning by Mastny.

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:26 pm

Mujica will probably come in the 9th....at least that is what Hammy said.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:27 pm

No one is going to mention this on here, but I bet Hammy and Hegan do. This game changed complexion completely when Peralta made that stab up the middle to end the jam Carmona was in back in the 5th (I think). That saved a run and maybe more.

by **dmcdougal** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:27 pm

well, easy with the swearing first of all...

second, he was just called up today so it's doubtful that he would travel to Baltimore and pitch in his first game. especially since it was a 12:30 start time.

by **dmcdougal** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:28 pm

nice Jhonny

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:29 pm

Peralta pours a little more on. I love this momentum going into Anaheim. I'd kill for a 4-2 west coast swing and end this trip 6-4.

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:29 pm

Jhonny, Jhonny, Jaaahhhhhooonnnnnyyyy!

by **Steve Buffum** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:34 pm

Geez, Todd Williams almost looks useful. I thought he was a pleasant golden brown by now.

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:35 pm

Ok, what is the fascination with Hernandez? BLowouts, 1-run games, tied....it doesn't matter, the guy pitches. Unreal. I have no idea what purpose pitching him today serves. Get Eddie "Last of the" Mujica* an appearance.

* - blatantly stolen from someone else

by **dmcdougal** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:38 pm

I really doubt that Mujica was there. Now, I'm sure that someone else could have pitched since there's no reason in wasting Hernandez's arm in a blowout

by **consigliere** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:39 pm

Mujica was there and available according to Hammy.

by **neoleo** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:42 pm

I don't understand not using Mujica either, assuming he was actually there.

In any event, nice win for the Tribe and a great bounce back after a disappointing start to the trip.

by **Steve Buffum** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:42 pm

Well, credit where credit is due: Hernandez looked strong. Terrific pitching all around (for Cleveland, that is).

by **Mr. MacPhisto** » Mon May 07, 2007 4:46 pm

Still only one series loss on the books so far this season. Nice job recovering from the 0-2 hole in the Baltimore series to even the series and take the season series against the O's.

Looks to me like Carmona should be here to stay. I'd be more in favor of sending Sowers down right now, though he could bounce back.

He plumps when you cook him, like most of their relief crew.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 5:21 pm

Hernandez hasn't pitched in a couple days. Maybe they're just trying to keep him fresh?

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 07, 2007 9:48 pm

Miller with 6 more solid innings today giving up 2 ER on 3 hits, 2 BB 7 K. 101 pitches. He dueled with our former buddy Billy Traber who shut out the Bisons over 5 innings. Right now, Miller will likely be in line for a no decision as there's two down in the 6th.

nice call on the first repost, mcdougall. Can you call for seven out of Byrd, Lee, and Sowers in Anaheim for us?
