vs. Rays 5/19

[Malike]

Man that glove is down and Tillman is way up. He needs to fix that, he got lucky on that pitch.

[caesarod]

Heh. Looks like Longoria expected a quality breaking pitch, and K'd on the hanger.

[Malike]

As well as he has been pitching out of the bullpen since he went there last year, do you think that he should try to rediscover it (the change-up), or leave well enough alone, and continue pitching the way that he has been?

I am no scout, or pitching guru, and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, but I think if he's going to start he would need that pitch. I don't think he needs it out of the pen. Fastball-Slider/Curve works okay for him.

OK, thanks.

CC Lardball pitching for the Skanks tomorrow.

[AlbionHero]

So we get Sabathia now tomorrow. Lovely.

[scOtt]

I still like Luke.

Especially when he's making outs for the Rays.

[Malike]

CC, Hughes, Kuroda. Tough task. I'm looking forward to this team getting back on the road.

[Malike]

Only 19 for Tillman in the first, I am feeling CG.

Also some good news.

This is great news.

Too many pictures again in the second inning. The rays have been patient this Entire series. Not a lot of first pitch swings, or quick at-bats.

Continued to be the case with those last few hitters. I'm not complaining about the results so far, but some of those misplaced pitches could have easily been destroyed. As Palmer said, Tillman K'd Longo with a high cutter--that had just a little bit of movement on it--but he wouldn't throw it there again!

[Malike]

Moore has a No-Hitter going? He's really good.

[scOtt]

Nobody said it was going to be easy.

dan-O channelling Buck.

[Ori-Al]

Manny swings at balls 3 and 4.

Manny has been swinging it more nonstrike storing his slump. He'll figure it out again.

[scOtt]

Sawed. Off!
