if he gets out of this inning quickly

i’d let him stay out there 1 more

Yep

A double play or a quick couple of outs and he should go 6 or at least try to go 6

The Rays announcers can't figure out why Crawford isn't running

I’m guessing it’s the Earl Weaver method… walk, walk, 3-run HR

If Padilla doesn't throw a strike

He might as well just bean Pena. You know he wants to and he might as well make the walk count

Rays announcers

Bitching about Padilla’s pace. Said one time between Salty sending the ball to Padilla to the time Pena called for time was 30 seconds.

Kind of wish Laird was behind the mound today

No offense to Salty, but he’s no Laird at throwing runners out

If he was behind the mound, Salty would have to be catching anyway...

the mistake was throwing it, not failing to throw him out.

I dont get

what Eric Nadel’s opinion had to do anything here. Interjecting Nadel’s opinion doesn’t prove anything.

I though he could have gotten Crawford if he got rid of the ball quickly.

by coolaid on May 27, 2008 8:13 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because it was on the exact subject being argued?

are you kidding me?

for one thing, the “I win” thing was a freaking sarcastic joking remark. But there is nothing at all wrong with throwing out what nadel thought.

Dead on

I didn’t think he was going to throw down b.c. of how long he took. He has got to learn to just pop and fire if he is going to have any success vs. base stealers

by SaltyDawg on May 27, 2008 8:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

the non nadel response

it was a changeup. crawford is fast. the batter struck out and stepped in front of the plate blocking salty a bit.

he was a little slow, but its unikely laird throws him out either.

lairds % is a lot better than saltys, but its .333 not .500

Gerald Laird is my hero.

by DSheppard on May 27, 2008 8:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I figured a change-up was a sure K

but Crawford would easily make it to 2nd

IDK

Laird would of thrown the ball a lot quicker than Salty. Salty didn’t seem to be concerned enough with Crawford running while Laird seems pretty aware at all times when there is a potential SB threat.

Salty

what’s his %‘age of throwing out runners?

by Longhorn on May 27, 2008 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well

With one out, I don’t think that’s really a bad thing – you’ve gotta focus on the guy at the plate especially when it’s Pena. You can live with a guy on second an 2 out, but you gotta get Pena.

by lonestarJon on May 27, 2008 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah

And I don’t know that Laird gets him out either, but that is just a bit of a concern with Salty that has been developing over watching him catch. He seems to do a good job with everything but the one thing that Laird does exceptionally for a catcher. Funny how that works out.

by Gdawg on May 27, 2008 8:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah

if he’s going to be like this defensively, he better hit like Piazza.

directv blackouts

what a punch in the nuts. my last post was “eaten” halfway through being written when the web site automatically refreshed/updated whatever…

the re-write was not allowed b/c sometime during my re-write the thread was closed…

thumbs down…

anyway, directv will show fox sports broadcasts UNLESS they conflict with a local broadcast (in theory). so from my home in so cal I should be able to watch texas play on fox sports southwest UNLESS they were playing LAA and the game was being shown on fox sports west here locally.

that was then, this is now…

with the arrival of mlb extra innings and the nba package, the games ARE shown "locally" on the pay-per-view season package, creating a conflict and causing a blackout.

by sam in so cal on May 27, 2008 7:58 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

not exactly blacked out

i have mlb package, but i am limited (on this game) to the tb coverage (same as 634 fox sports florida).

usually, i have 2-4 channel choices: tex feed and opponent feed and sometimes one or both of those in hd.

i guess b/c it is kdfi directv only has one feed (and no hd) tonight.

i am watching 733.

i pay extra for ALL fox stations, but as i mentioned, the fox sports southwest broadcasts are usually (always) blacked out here. i watch the tex feed on mlb extra innings package which is same as fox sports southwest.

He got himself in a lot of trouble

but the times where it was actually relatively low risk was the time he gave up the most runs. Both HRs came with a guy on 1st and at least 1 out. Yet he is able to get out of a 1st and 3rd with no outs situation with less damage. Interesting start

no

he’s that good that a 2 hits night and a SB is slightly disappointing.

Brian Burress gave up 4 HRs in 3.2 IP

to go with 10 hits and 8 ER. Very Dickey like

didnt he dominate us?

by DSheppard on May 27, 2008 9:23 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

probably

He seems to be an obscure pitcher who is nothing special, so the answer would have to be yes.

by Gdawg on May 27, 2008 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

6 ip, 7 h, 3 ks but only 1 run

beat us anyway.

when? this year

i dont know i havnt been looking at the radar gun every pitch this year, but when he came up he was definitely 90-93.

I don't know

I am looking at gameday, and those readings are usually slower than stadium radar gun

Everything else I can find says he throws 88-89

by Telegraph on May 27, 2008 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

well

all i can say is i remember him being low 90s, dont know anything beyond that.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

fangraphs.com

has him at the upper 80s, but he was a starter for most of that time so he probably had to lose a couple of MPH when he was starting.

HELLO WIN COLUMN!

Can we put Josh Hamilton out to stud during the offseason, like Big Brown?

WOOOO!!!

Well, that game was a little more stressful at times than it should habe been, but overall, a nice win.

Good to see the offense waking back up after facing all though tough pitchers…

This season from Padilla is reminding me of the year

Colon won the Cy Young. Lots of IP, a lot of wins, but nothing too spectacular in his results or his peripherals

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
