RHP - Adam Warren (3-6 2.97 ERA) VS. RHP - Joe Kelly (6-4 4.20 ERA) After last nights / this mornings 19 inning game, its going to be interesting to see what today's lineup is going to look like. Well here it is........ CF - Gardner LF - Young DH - Beltran 1B - Rodriquez 3B - Headley RF - Jones C - Murphy SS - Gregorius 2B - Petit.
Not exactly the battle of Cy Young candidates, Warren Jesus Christ surprise us today, ditto offense, lets see a Yankee lead for starters.
Papi should get a personal ball in his ribs. Nice play by Gardner. His head is straight up his ass this season.
As long as his neck doesn't break when removed he'll be ok. Helping the squeeze with "honey doos" today can only look in from time to time.
It's games like these with Shrek, I wish Doc Ellis were still around..... http://www.nonoadockumentary.com/mayday (clipped from the above URL, only a small part of the entire article): “The first pitch to Pete Rose was directly toward his head,” as Dock expresses it, “not actually to hit him, ” but as “the message, to let him know that he was going to get hit. More or less to press his lips. I knew if I could get close to the head that I could get them in the body. Because they’re looking to protect their head, they’ll give me the body.” The next pitch was behind him. “The next one, I hit him in the side.” Pete Rose’s response was even more devastating than Dock had anticipated. He smiled. Then he picked the ball up, where it had fallen beside him, and gently, underhanded, tossed it back to Dock. Then he lit for first as if trying out for the Olympics. As Dock says, with huge approval, “You have to be good, to be a hot dog.” As Rose bent down to pick up the ball, he had exchanged a word with Joe Morgan who was batting next. [...] Morgan taunted Rose, “He doesn’t like you anyway. You’re a white guy.” Dock hit Morgan in the kidneys with his first pitch. “The next batter was Driessen. I threw a ball to him. High and inside. The next one, I hit him in the back.” [...] Bases loaded, no outs. Tony Perez, Cincinnati first baseman, came to bat. He did not dig in. “There was no way I could hit him. He was running. The first one I threw behind him, over his head, up against the screen, but it came back off the glass, and they didn’t advance. I threw behind him because he was backing up, but then he stepped in front of the ball. The next three pitches, he was running. . . . I walked him.” A run came in. “The next hitter was Johnny Bench. I tried to deck him twice. I threw at his jaw, and he moved. I threw at the back of his head, and he moved.”
I'm impressed with the job that Warren is doing but once again the offense just sucks. One hit through 5 innings.
I am surprised by the performance of Warren, not surprised by the habitual lack of performance by the offense.
Oh my, such a sophisticated knowledgeable old time baseball fan looking to score points for the ex- batting coach FIVE games into the season. You're just craving to be "right" ....can't blame you since I've already proven you to be as wrong as can be regarding your (once again early assessment) declaration of AROD being 'toast" and not making it out of: ▶SPRING TRAINING ◀ Lmaooooooooooo. Lmaooooooooooooooooooo........this is embarrassing.
Solid baseball. From the top of the org. down they should be embarrassed. I don't want to hear it's early. Seriously, if the kids are producing in minors by the 4th of July, , Bring them up, Cave, Bird, Judge
Early is one thing. Basically every idiot on this team is batting .100. Arod is the only one worth a damn and that's hilarious.
