I don't get the chance to watch a lot

because of my work schedule, but that was a pretty fine barehanded catch and throw by Davis, even though he couldn’t get the runner…has he been playing good 3B since the switch?

by Bob Loblaw on Sep 1, 2008 7:24 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

yes

he hasnt looked out of place at all.
not gold glove or anything, but he looks like he could hold down the position if it best suited the club he do so.

if they need him at 3b to keep him in the lineup i think its viable. at least for now.

He hasn’t really botched any plays or made any big rookie mistakes over there. I don’t really think he should stay over there long term, but it’s nice to know he can play there when he needs to.

- Katie Casey (the girl for whom “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” was written)

Yuck.

But, I don’t have to look at it everyday, so I shouldn’t say anything. Come to think of it, he doesn’t have to look at it everyday, either.

Very true

I’d be fine looking at it everyday.

Please don’t mistake this for a CD-like lusting. I’m just saying it doesn’t bother me.

OT: Cliff Lee

What a dominant season he has put up so far. Not just the win total, but everything. 1.31 BB/9 and a .39 HR/9 is incredible and he’s putting up the ERA to support great peripherals like that.

And to think the Tribe was considering trading him last winter

Kinda wish we’d jumped on that in 20/20 hindsight.

I have been ...

… accused of being a vampire before. Anyone who saw my previous avatar will obviously know why. Imagine their surprise when I tell them I am not a vampire, but actually a Mexican.

Wash's search for a relief

pitcher to blow the game is under way.

WTF??

Why not let Kam Loe pitch more than one batter in this game??

Mendoza sucks

by LongviewLegend315 on Sep 1, 2008 9:08 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

anyone notice that

Salty has OPS+ of 91 and Laird’s is 94.

Sure is evening up when a certain player gets his ABs..

That's not true

And Laird’s defense has sucked lately too. I don’t think he’s thrown a runner out in quite awhile.

Mendoza in '09

Does he make the team out of ST in ’09?

by mattrpav on Sep 1, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

depends on

which mendoza shows up. tonight he is upping his fastball into the 93-94 range, which flattens it out and hitters pound it.

25 or 40 man?

40 man…yes

25 man…Id give it about 50/50

Main

I just checked the minor league box scores and saw Main only went one inning. Anyone know why?

Also, Taylor Teagarden, please continue to prove me wrong…

by clark on Sep 1, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

planned

he’s starting against the same team when the playoffs happen
