Starting Pitchers

Seattle: Hernandez (3-2, 2.29 ERA)
Cleveland: Jimenez (3-3, 5.18 ERA)

-The Mariners (16-22) have a .233 batting average, one of the worst in the AL
-Choo is batting .302 in his last 13 games
-Damon is 11 for 22 with a homer and four doubles off Hernandez

Hopefully we can win both of these contest, and go into the series against Miami on a good note.

Vegas has the tribe as an underdog against Hernandez, despite being at home against a team with a terrible offense. Putting Jimenez on the mound doesn't help the cause either.

I wonder if we are starting to look at a DL situation for Hannahan. Maybe see Chisenhall recalled?

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:10 pm

Solid start.

That split didn't even make it to the front edge of the batter's box.

Chiz is on the AAA DL.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:15 pm

That curve looks good. And the change. If he can spot the FB he'd be ok. Dump the splitter.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:20 pm

That could've been a lot worse. Could've been better without Kotchman stepping in quick sand.

1 run might be too many against Felix though.

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:22 pm

Cripes, are they even 5,000 people there?

Who let the dawgs out

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:24 pm

Please don't load the bases.

Hafner needs a hit really bad here.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:27 pm

If a remember correctly Pronk hit a slam off Felix a couple of years back at Progressive Field.

Would love some deja vu here.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:27 pm

Ha, and as I post that.... they show the replay!

by **T_N_T** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:28 pm

come on pronk,we need a grand salami

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:28 pm

Rookie past ball...I'll take it.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:29 pm

Jesus, that's some bad luck. That was a seed.

Productive out though. Very productive.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:30 pm

What's the over/under on a walk here? I'd say even odds.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:31 pm

Caught a break there. That wasn't even close.

That was fucked up.

Wow.

Way to run 41.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:39 pm

Fucking hussle Carlos!!

Love it!!

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:39 pm

Montero makes catching look very hard.

by **redneckofsc** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:40 pm

Well a bad inning happened, with us finally on the good side.

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:42 pm

Geez Montero may be the worst catcher I have seen at this level.

I'd like to see the discussion between Felix and Montero in the dugout.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 8:45 pm

Plenty of baseball left, but the Twins have 5 off Porcello and 3 Tiger errors in the bottom of the 2nd.

For a second I thought he was going to drop that pop up at home too.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:04 pm

Can't walk the #9 hitter. Inexcusable.

by **redneckofsc** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:05 pm

Jimenez absolutely sucks.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:07 pm

If you're going to walk a guy, at least make an effort to keep him close so he doesn't turn it into a double.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:11 pm

Rod Carew, Ichiro, Stan Musial aaaaaaaaaand maybe Larry Walker? or Di Maggio for the trivia question

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:12 pm

It's AL only. Musial and Walker don't apply.

Carew and Ichiro for sure. Not sure on DiMaggio.

Edit: No Molitor. .353 was his high season.

I like Yaz, Brett, Carew, Ichiro, Boggs?, Donnie baseball?

Stan the Man was in the NL. And Walker. Di Maggio? - don't know if he got to .370.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:17 pm

Boggs just misses the cut. .368.

Mattingly was .352.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:19 pm

Nomar for the trivia?

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:20 pm

It is a good question...got my wheels spinning trying to think of that last guy. Is it DI Maggio? I don't think of him as a high average guy.

/not cheating.

Nice call. .372 in 2000.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:20 pm

Nomar...hmmm. Could be. That ballpark for righties is high average land.

.381, but in 1939. So ineligible for the answer.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:29 pm

Got the ESPN game on in the background and they just flashed up a couple of great Rays stats: -

Tonight is the 934th straight game the Rays have had where they've started a pitcher 30 or under. (since June 25 2006)

Also, the 203rd straight game started by a pitcher they drafted!!!!!

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:36 pm

Two good looking swings this inning from Choo and Kip.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:36 pm

Kip!!

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:37 pm

Love me some Kip.

And Brants, Peeker you hate filled nudnik

by **T_N_T** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:41 pm

sweeeet

by **bookelly** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:42 pm

Anyone else see Pronk look over to RF just before that double? He was aiming for the gap and he knew what was coming. Brilliant.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:42 pm

Only one RBI, but Hafner desperately needed that. Strong at bat and punished a mistake.
