I really don't care to hear one complaint about a starting pitchers while our offense is putting on this display of brilliance. Not about Z, not about Gooz.

Because Restovich sucks too.

I'm getting close to not being able to watch this offensive disaster anymore.

you left the "r" out.

He caught Corey Patterson disease. There is no known cure. Kid Corey struck out a LOT more times than ARAM. I think ARAM still has more BB's than K's which is good. He'll come around, he isn't suddenly a below 200 hitter.

It was 13

You would think this team would have a smidgen of brain cells right after a 35 pitch inning for their rookie pitcher. CEDENO take some mother [expletive] pitches. Christ

Who is on track to come back first, he or Prior? He is scheduled to throw 5 innings today. If it's pain free, minor league rehab start in Perioa on Saturday or Sunday I believe. Should have 2-3 minor league starts and be ready mid-may.

WOODY WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game Center showed that last pitch in the strikezone. Did Guz get squeezed? (Not suprising if he's everywhere - he aint gonna get the benefit of the call as a rookie without control).

If so, we aren't gonna win many games until Lee comes back.

Did they even try for a DP there, or no chance?

Agreed He's missing everywhere though It's his second start. Let him settle down.

Bay walked. That's fine, 1B was open and you don't want to get beat by Bay with the black hole that is Burnitz coming up.

It was a mistake???

Dirty Sanchez doubled, Duffy scored.

Wilson K's Swinging, Duffy stole Second.

Down for me too. cbssportsline gamecast doesn't work either. It's working now. Guzman hits Duffy.

Down for me too. cbssportsline gamecast doesn't work either.

Well in better news, Buehrle didn't make it to the 7th. 5 2/3 innings 7 ER's. He got shelled by Cleveland. :D

Man this thread is dead for it being 2 minutes to game time

I highly doubt there exists no evidence that supports the inference that getting a runner over to third from second with nobody out (one out after the bunt) increases a team's chance of scoring the runner that was on second. No Sully is correct. I don't know the exact numbers but the chances of scoreing with a runner on first and no outs is higher than scoreing a run with a runner on second and one out. Outs are precious and should be treated as such. That wasn't my scenario though. What about a runner on second with nobody out vs. a runner on third with one out? A team is likely to score more runs when a runner is on second with no outs than with a runner on third with one out: http://www.tangotiger.net/RE9902.html That's not hypothetical. The numbers come from actual games played between 1999-2002. In most situations a sac bunt is a dumb idea, and bunting Pierre to third is no exception. Again, I'm not sure that is enough information. I am talking about the situation where you are trying to get one run. Like, a tie game in the bottom of the ninth. Which alternative is more likely to get that one run? I am fully aware that if you take an out away from the inning, you are less likely to score a bunch of runs. I think the only acceptable time to use that bunt is in a close game when you're trying to push across ONE run.

No we'll just get PWNED by another lefty. At least this one is good though.

Why doesn't our coaching staff look at those numbers?
