vs. INDIANS, 8/16

[Jonesy10]

Schoop is so bad. Can't hit any pitch other than a hanging breaking ball and is allergic to walks.

[Ori-Al]

Great at-bat there. No attempt to hit to right field at all.

Tampa wins the division

Ha, ha. Tampa has shot their...umm...best shot. They are due to fade.

[murph]

This team just cant do the little things like move man over.

This team you speak of? Is it the same team that is ruling it in the American League East?

[Guest]

Wow ump.

[scOtt]

HUGE freaking zone. Keep it fair blue.

Odds we score with the lead off double?

1 in a 100.

That doesn't mean they're doing the little things right.

The odds of a Schoop moving him over, let alone driving him in are 0%. Luckily Markakis gets a crack at it.

He is on this team constantly. In his mind they don't do anything right. It's tiresome.

[scOtt]

C'mon Brother Lough. GOTTA get this run in!

[MrOrange82]

If he goes six innings and gives up 3 runs, I'll be just fine with that. He's put the team in a position to win. If they can't score 3 runs against Cleveland then they probably don't deserve to win. They've already had multiple chances.

Eh...I didn't lobby for his signing over the winter to be left with a very open debate in August about whether Ubaldo or someone else deserves to be the team's fifth starter. And I hate the "quality start" stat. A 4.50 ERA (i.e., 3 ER in 6 IP) isn't "quality," IMO.

[tonglebeak]

Surprise surprise. Getting hosed on the strike calls and 2 outs with joseph going nowhere.

[Ori-Al]

That pitch was high, but might've been called a strike if he didn't swing.

[Chavez Ravine]

That doesn't mean they're doing the little things right.

I'm a big picture guy when it comes to baseball.
