2009 MLB Season Thread

I'm not blaming it on the umpire, just frustrating when your pitchers wont get the borderline calls, but I realize the Indians will probably get some games where it works in there favor, usually evens out for every team.

Cliff Lee is starting to look like a one year wonder, not looking good so far, still lots more baseball to play though..

Pujols isn't done guys

Lets go for 3 Albert

Angels/Sox is going right down to the wire, what a game.

He'll be fine, he just has to start getting ahead of batters. He relies too much on his fastball when he is down in the count and it doesn't move much.

Do you still think he's going to have another Cy Young type year based off the two starts?

 

[playmaker7]

Alot of great pitchers are starting poor like

Lincecum
Hamels
Oswalt
Lee
Sabathia (he deserves to get rocked)
Zito

 

[RipCity32]

Tigers are currently 2nd in the division. I'll cherish it while it lasts =]

Perhaps the Indians are going to be last years Tigers, minus the talent and the hype lmao.

Cleveland didn't get off to much of a good start last year either but they aren't looking good. They started winning, and went on a winning streak near the end of the year.

I don't see a CY Young season, it's too much to much to ask for from him to have another great season like he had, I expect him to be around 16-18 wins with an era somewhere in the 3s.
I just don't understand why people say he is a one year wonder anyway, he only had one off year, and he has the 2nd most wins for any pitcher in the AL since 2004.

jBay is tearing it up too. 2 HRs in 3 tries

I honestly never heard of him till last year during the Halladay-Lee Cy Young race. That was an amazing season, only 3 losses?

I know, I was just kidding lol. I looked at the standings and seen they were 0-5, which is only 2 losses away from how we started last season.

Soon to be 0-6 .. the offense has been much much better than expected, we currently lead the MLB in hits.

 

[RipCity32]

I wouldn't get too excited lol.

Royals started the season off good last season, and ended up 4th.

 

[elcheato]

No, we cannot lose again lol. Anthony Reyes was great for us down the stretch last year, I expect a solid game from him, and DeRosa finally <Censored>ing hit the ball in the 9th inning today, so maybe we might actually get some production out of the 2 hole.

 

[Rios15]

Why are we facing so many AL Central teams? We are playing Minnesota next series, should be a good one as both Minnesota and Toronto are off to good starts.

Damn BJ Ryan is way out of his prime, that's the only reason. BJ Ryan always or almost blows the game for us, he's been awful. I miss the old days, like in 2006 where he would come in, and it was a sure win/save.

 

[RipCity32]

I think Adam Everett had a career game today lmao.

2/3 2 RBIs, 1 BB
lmao
