Your pitching matchup is Tallet v. Greinke.
So I guess that means Toronto's Got Tallet...

Is there gonna be a rain delay?
Cuz I’ve got no pregame on, once again, as it is scheduled to be on TV Guide Channel… This is getting old pretty quick..

I'm just a little worried
The hype meter is about as high as it’s been for any game in a while. I’m a little worried about a let down.
Then again, good ol’ rain might put a kibosh on it
bah
they can pull off a baseball game, and I stopped work on my door-to-door outside job at 3pm.
Sorry vagrants, tomorrow isn’t your day when I come to your house to do my job
Lineup
Bloomquist 2nd but Callaspo 7th? How long does Callaspo have to hit .380 before he gets to hit higher in the order?
Unrelated sidenote...
With all of this Bonds talk… I have been debating whether or not Bonds would have been a hall of famer after the 96 season, I think its a no brainer the clown shoe says definite no

Sorry chief.
And I ended up with ramen instead of Amigo’s. The ramen was a much shorter walk.
And….Yes! Nobody will ever be no good at pOcking, ever again!

by averagegatsby on Apr 29, 2009 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions
His velocity is down
Average FB at 92 mph, as opposed to 95 last year. But I don’t think that’s the only thing. He’s got two good pitches and the other two aren’t very impressive. You can be a dominant reliever with that kind of pitching profile. But it’s hard to be a great starter with that.
The immoderate moderator
by Scott McKinney on Apr 29, 2009 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions
i don't understand the loss of velocity
he was throwing hard when starting last year, i wonder if it’s going to come back as the season progresses
realistically speaking
No idea why he's lost so much velocity
Some of it is that last year he was in the bullpen part of the time, so his average FB velocity in those outings would be higher. But that doesn’t account for a loss of 3 mph. There might be something physical/mechanical there, but I haven’t heard anything.
The immoderate moderator
by Scott McKinney on Apr 29, 2009 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions
exactly, even in his starts he was still throwing low to mid 90s
seems really weird to me, his control has been awful since ST too
maybe we can trade dejesus for him LOL
realistically speaking
You take that back!
He is a Yankee, and Goddamnit the best pitcher since Sandy Kofax!

I really don't think he's ready for the majors yet
Once MLB hitters have seen his stuff, they know how to hit it. He has lots of talent, but was rushed due to the Tigers thin pitching.

secondary pitches need more work
can’t live on the fastball alone like in A ball
realistically speaking
Yup
And he lives and dies by the groundball (didn’t even get a lot of K’s in A-ball). And in the majors, it’s easier for batters to make solid contact with even sinking balls and hit them for line drives. He needs more minor league experience.

Kauffman Stadium Organ
Don’t know if anyone had noticed this year that the trademark Kauffman Stadium organ had been quiet so far this year. Heard today that it is still in there, they are just looking for a new player for it. That is why all the prerecorded, generic sound bites during the at-bats. Don’t know if this had been mentioned before but I hadn’t seen any discussion of it.
maybe that's why everybody is supposed
“clap yo hands” 100X a game.

Sign of a good team
This team probably expected ZG to go 9 complete no hit innings. But he struggled and gave up his first run of the yet. So…. what do they do? Their ace is struggling, they rally, and go ballistic on the other team. This team has completely stepped up tonight. It’s amazing! And in turn, I think ZG will return the favor.
