Cabrera 3b .295
Fielder 1b .300
Young dh .233
Avila c .263
Peralta ss .258

Fister first start back from DL, first appearance against his old team.

Cleveland already took game 1 and up 2-1 in the 8th in game 2 (rain delayed) over the White Soxs

They'd better knock Beavis around tonight. I'll probably only get to watch until the 3rd inning. Hate these west coast games.

Boy does Dirks look good batting 2nd right now.

 

[jas5lf]

How does Dirks not make it to 3rd on that flyball out?

Man, drop Delmon to 9th.

Guy has no patience, no power, nothing.

Can't move 'em all to 9th.

No idea, but blaming Lamont is always a good place to start.

 

[tigermud]

Fielder was given a hit for that? Any which way we can..


1-0

 

[jas5lf]

Seattle's getting Fisted tonight, JV going tomorrow and no King Felix this series.
We need to sweep these bums right back.

Move everyone else up.

 

[tigermud]

Seattle swinging away hard, 8 pitch inning for Fister and no damage

 

[Mitchrapp]

Move everyone else up.

BB and Raburn both sucking now, that would be some bad 7 8 9.

I think by the time they realized that the ball was not going out there was no time to tag up.

Probably un-wisely assumed it was going to be a HR.

Yea, but the alternative is you have a guy like Delmon stranding guys who are actually getting on base.

Make Peralta or Avila 5th.

 

[jas5lf]

I'm always amazed at what a nice ballpark this is.

It's too bad it's so empty.

 

[biggunsbob]

Need to get BB going!!

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe next at bat... terrible swing by him..

 

[Thumb]

Damn, could be 3-0 right now.

Stingy ballpark.

That doesn't even make sense. Why would a runner not be ready to tag up on a ball that was either gonna be caught or a homer? There was zero chance it was dropping in. It was tracked the whole way by the OF'er.

Man, Boesch can't win.
