Year of the Pitcher: Part Deux

"They may have run the Kentucky Derby today, but the Tiger horse was #1!"

ehehehehehehe

[MiamiHomer]

This week alone has had really good pitching performances.

[jOOj]

He got doused by cold water

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

Yovani Gallardo had a no no deep into his game today as well.

[MiamiHomer]

Jaime Garcia almost had one yesterday, Tim Hudson threw a complete game one hitter shut out earlier in the week. Cliff Lee struck out 16 yesterday and in the same game Lowe had a no-no through 6.

[jOOj]

Clearly all this is a sign for how Volstad will pitch tonight.

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

JP Arrencibia really had a great AB against Verlander in the 8th. He fouled off like a half dozen pitches and got Verlander to walk him on a 3-2 count. The 4th ball was juuuuuust outside and it was 100 MPH in th 8th, that just sick. You're right it has been a crazy week in pitching!

[Chewford]

[MiamiHomer]

Jeter hit a HR, this is big news.
--------------------
It was off of Ryan Tucker too.
--------------------
He just hit another one, this one off of Arthur Rhodes.

[Swifty]

Milton Bradley DFA'd.

I probably wouldn't, but he would upgrade Helms and probably Cousins/Petersen.

[Metes]

He's sooooooooooo bad

Not an upgrade to anybody

[Ramp]

hot damn what a play

[MiamiHomer]

No greater feeling when you flip the ball from your glove and it goes exactly where you hoped it would and he did it behind the back.

[Miamarlin21]

That was pretty cute.

[Metes]

Neat play

He then went on to continue hitting below a .600 OPS on the year
