Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Game 107 Overflow Thread

It's a lovely afternoon for baseball. 6-1 middle of the 5th.

Looks like all the sacrificing to Wieters has paid off, Ian’s attending the game and bringing the guys some luck! The Kid Rick is having a great day with a no-hitter through four innings. New boy Avila also got his first hit and RBI. We're hoping to take 3/4 here at home to go into the next series on a high before the Twinkies come to town tomorrow.

didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes :) my internet is super slow today so I was hoping to get an overflow going ASAP.

sure hope so

a fresher Laird may mean a better hitting Laird?

someone said

avila will catch for porcello/galarraga but I hadn’t heard/seen where that came from.

The kid might have a future

The Lord cannot hold onto the ball!

But it was the fault of the pitcher, because Wieters can do no wrong.

by kendra.michelle on Aug 6, 2009 2:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Avila?

Alex Avila? The one we were all worried about?

Boy do we look stupid.

by NCDee on Aug 6, 2009 2:36 PM EDT reply actions  

nobody guns em down like G$

but I like how this kid can hit, and stuff

by allikazoo on Aug 6, 2009 2:37 PM EDT reply actions  

It's annoying when I can only follow the game on gameday.

And there are actual things I want to see, like Avila.

by rcpratt on Aug 6, 2009 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, he's looking good

I mean it’s only one game, but 2 for 3 in your debut ain’t too shabby

I can't bring myself to say it

So I just say “that’s good” when I find out they’re ahead

by kendra.michelle on Aug 6, 2009 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Good idea

I hate the Indians more than any other sports team. The Penguins are a close second, followed by the Twinks and the Deadwings.

Don’t really hate Chicago- I love Ozzie Guillen.

by David Tokarz on Aug 6, 2009 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I REALLY hate the Indians

Twins too. Don’t hate Chicago as much as most people here seem to but they annoy me.

by kendra.michelle on Aug 6, 2009 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

Indians and Red Sox are the teams I hate

Not a big fan of the White Sox, but so many of my favorite bands are from Chicago so I can’t bring myself to loathe them as passionately as most on here. I find Ozzie Guillen to be funny more than anything else. The Twins are just kind of annoying to me.

http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com

by SabreRoseTiger on Aug 6, 2009 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm none too fond of those Yankees

I’m sort of neutral toward the Red Sox. I sort of implied that I have a ton of hate for the Twins which I don’t really. I dislike them quite a bit but I don’t have the same hate for them that I do for Cleveland.

by kendra.michelle on Aug 6, 2009 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Meh

To me the Yankees are just another team, on par with the Rangers, A’s, Mariners, etc.

I have a strong hatred

by BigJP on Aug 6, 2009 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

For me it's the White Sox

I guess it goes all the way back to the late 70’s but I just can’t stand the White Sox. Ozzie just makes it easier to justify my irrational emotions toward them.

Nobody else bothers me though

And a league average starter. Cut the kid some slack.

by David Tokarz on Aug 6, 2009 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

?

I wasn’t criticizing him, simply stating a fact. He’s no longer the front-runner for ALROY.

by rcpratt on Aug 6, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Who else is in it?

Andrew Bailey from Oakland, maybe G-Becks in Chicago, Matt Wieters…

by David Tokarz on Aug 6, 2009 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'll go with (in order):

Ricky Romero, Andrus, Nolan Reimold, Gordon Beckham, and Porcello.

by rcpratt on Aug 6, 2009 3:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

you're definitely missing Bailey

He’s near the top of most lists i’ve seen.

But I agree, Porcello’s really not in the running unless he puts together heck of a final two months

by Kurt Mensching on Aug 6, 2009 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Cant believe I forgot Andrus

He’s frontrunner for sure.

My ballot

Andrus
Bailey
Porcello
Romero
Beckham

by David Tokarz on Aug 6, 2009 3:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’d say it’s

Andrus
Bailey
Romero
Beckham
Porcello

I don’t see how you can put Porcello above Romero other than “he’s a tiger.”

by Kurt Mensching on Aug 6, 2009 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Injuries

A bit of homerism, but Romero missed a few starts in there due to injury. Becks was a midseason callup, which hurts him in my book as well.

Yeah, Angels pitching in general has not been particularly good this year

Rangers pitching has actually been better, if I’m not mistaken. The Angels’ offense has been red hot, though.

Yay, I'm going on Saturday.

Last game of the season :(

I’d say a lot depends on what we get from Washburn on Sunday. I think he’ll do pretty well.

by rcpratt on Aug 6, 2009 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think it'll be more

if our bats continue to be good like they have in this series. but yeah, washburn has to have a better game than his last one for us.
