Something I'd like to point out.

All four of our starting pitchers are coming into this series with a sub-4.00 ERA. Just gonna throw that out there.

.....and jinx us in the process :chuckles:

BTW, be ready to change Peavy, seems like there's a very good chance he'll be on the move.

I know :chuckles:

Just wanted to point that out because everybody said our starting pitching was going be near league-bottom. Really impressed with Kazmir getting down to where he is though. I never really thought he was going to amount to anything and that he was going to be out of the league again next season.

That Swisher bomb is probably my favorite moment of the year so far. Even ahead of the walkoffs we've had.

I've noticed that too. Plus after today Ubaldo is down to a 4.17 ERA. I expected the Indians to have about 2 players at around 4.25 or so going into the season, honestly. Give Mickey Calloway a bonus.

 

[B Mac]

Gotta shoot for 3 out of 4.

 

[Frank Stallone]

3 of 4.

Danks - fuck him
Peavy - may not even be there, which would be great - he owns us
Quintana - He had owned our ass till that game where Swish won it
Sale - we either smash him or give no support, but I feel like we always beat him

We will see - should be interesting. At home they must win it. Then go into Miami and knock their stupid hats off.

We scored on him last series, but they just traded away one of the best relievers in the AL

Onley just reported on twitter that the White Sox are telling teams they are going to build around him.

They said that so other teams feel pressured...he is 32 years old.

 

[Nicky]

Mark Reynolds is in tonights lineup. I'm not sure how to feel about this.

I do. I can't wait to see how many strikeouts he's going to add to his incredible total.

 

[Derek]

I mean they have to try and get him (Reynolds) going. He's not going to just rot on the bench, they'd just DFA him first.

 

[Stark]

Can we get a separate strikeout meter for Reynolds like what Corey does when our pitchers strike others out?

 

[Pyro]

I'll just use this:
