Way to come through Escobar - that's nice to see!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That's New York.

Oh?

 

I just assumed you could tell whale by the sox it left behind...

I watched the game yesterday. He had to get 3 hits in a game to get his average over .200. Still the worst hitter in the AL.

I think i like him. Worst hitter in the AL. Should he go to the NL , he'd be the worst pitcher...

 

Can't seem to win, except on the field.

Giminez batting 5th?

Let me get this straight: We're fighting for our playoff lives and we're pitching Tim Melville and Dillon Gee....and Chris Gimenez is batting 5th? I don't care if the pitches with his left leg....Chris Gimenez might be he worst hitter in the AL right now.

 

Without Sano this lineup is really rough against lefties. I get that they may want their best defense out there for Melville but this lineup would be way better if Vargas was DHing and Garver was in LF for Kepler.

Hopefully not many more lefties during Sano's DL stint.

Wow this Melville guy must be quite something, gameday says he's throwing a 95 mph curveball

Fastball with a ton of movement. Could be quite a weapon with that speed.

[Circus Boy]

 

Sounds like a couple of British poets.

Minor British poets, alas.

[GCTF]

I forsee much bullpen usage

I feel for 'em. Can't even drown their sorrows.

[USAFChief]

 

Sounds Like.

Loves me some Herb Alpert.

 

"The Lonely Bull."

 

Teh awesome.

Moncada fails to score as Garver staggers around for a bit.

What are the odds that Garver's first MLB catching experience comes with Gimenez on the mound?

[Squirrel]

I'm glad the ticket prices were two for the cost of one

That was terrible base running.

 

And then Moby Tim can't take advantage.

I figure 5 innings with under 4 given up by Melville is about as good as can be expected. 

[USAFChief]

Gameday has Sanchez flying out on a 95.9 MPH curveball.

 

Seems like Melville should be harder to hit with that kind of stuff.

I think I'd actually be happy if that's all it is.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

GISP: Garver in scoring position...

[GCTF]

Better inning. Didn't see the 95 mph curveball though.

[ThejacKmp]

Nicer second inning. Hopefully he was just trying too hard that first inning. He did seem to be overthrowing.

[ThejacKmp]

Also, there is no one at this game

Are we sure Gameday's "curveballs" aren't fastballs? They haven't recorded a single fastball from Melville.

[Squirrel]

Pardon me but you are very incorrect. *I* am at the game and I am not a no one.

Adjust your snark meter.

 

He's not throwing 95 MPH curveballs.

[USAFChief]

I much prefer 9-0 leads after 1.

[GCTF]

D'oh Escobar

[Mill1634]

So what are the early thoughts on Melville? Just got home

[Craig Arko]

And then Moby Tim can't take advantage.

Call him Ishmael.
