just guessing
i bet if u take out Feldman’s last 1 inning in every start, he’d have like a 3 something ERA…
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
well since you asked
All the innings prior to his last inning of an outing:
99 IP/ 3.91 ERA
His last inning, or portion of an inning:
15.2 IP/ 12.06 ERA
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Wow...
quite the difference. Wash just needs to figure out better when to pull him.

Well
Only 3 of his outtings did he not go into the 6th inning.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Yup...
I know he’s been pretty consistent getting to the 6th inning. Wash seems to love to send him out to start 7th innings though to get pounded usually.

Micah must be so proud right now

Oh I was. I stood and clapped and cheered.
It redeemed him from snubbing me before the game.

…did you post this in response to Michael Young poor range at shortstop?
No, completely unrelated.
Offense doesn't doubt me, but my first and primemost thing is defense and punt return and kickoff return
I would
They wouldn’t, of course.

The old Cruz would be on his way to the dugout after that one

Some have tried
But I don’t think that’s really possible.

yeah im one of those threads i had a list of all thepitchers Danielshad DFA'd since the begingi of his tenure....
out of 15 or so, Tejeda and Galaraga were the best…
interesting
Nellie chokes up on the bat quite a bit when down to 2 strikes….
Not sure if he did that before…
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
all in all a very nice debut for cruz obviously
lets hope it lasts more tan 3 games this time.

You guys calling Cruz “Nellie” is reminding me uncomfortably of the other Nellie and the Cuban incident.
I hate when graphics pop up on screens during shows...
with sounds effects and moving parts. I hate it even more when no mention is made of it.

Have a Hamburger with your Borbon
And finish it off with a Smoak while you Laughter and you’ll probably end up Hurleying
:D

How bout this
Start with a good dinner. Maybe a Hamburger and iced Teagarden with Lemon. Then go Cruzing to the club and have a Smoak with your Borbon. Laughter will ensue and at the end of the night you may end up Hurleying.
:D

I know he’s better than that one appearance, but yikes all I can think of is that disaster inning Friday or Saturday night (can’t remember which)

I didn't even know Davis could do that

I'm pretty amazed at how many shoutouts I got on here
Ha ha.
And I did yell out his name a few times. Before the game, he simply waved but refused to sign. Jerk.
But during the game, I doubt he could hear me.

he made the hard part of the play and missed the easy(er) part.
no big deal of course, but almost a really nice play.

That was pretty amazing.
I loved Rojas’ comment after they showed the Tracker on the first wild pitch:
“Thank God for that Tracker”.
Back to back WP's?
Holy shit Rupe, get your shit together.

Screw you Ric Renner...
quit calling the Guardado trade BIG…
He’s a 37, soon to be 38 year old reliever who may be calling it quits after this year, traded for a closer in rookie ball.
This is no means a BIG MONUMENTAL trade.

Welp, that was a pretty good win
Cruz and Arias where beastly, and Young and Bradley had good nights at the dish as well. Feldman even managed to avoid his 7th inning crash via double play. Yeah… boy, we needed a night like this.

Impressed
That was quite an impressive first outing for Cruz! If anyone heard the ticket today, im sure Rhyner will be all about Cruz tomorrow!! “He probably will come back down to earth and wont be hitting .600 for the rest of the year”.
If tonight is any indication of what he can do in the bigs in the future, i sure dont want to see him go. Not jumping the gun but sure hope tonight is what the kid can and will do!!
We sure needed that win!!
That's messed up...
let the kid pitch. It’s not his vault he’s better than other kids. Parents, sponsers, blah blah blah.
The fact that an entire team would forfeit just because that kid was going to pitch shows bad sportsmanship and no class by that team, their coach, and their parents. Bad form.
