They switched his stance recently. HE isnt going to be moving around as much, mainly his head. So far, good results.

We smoked Morrow earlier in the year as well, and he had a ton of Ks in that game as well. Reyes pitched a lot better last night, than Morrow has tonight. Despite what they have done leading up to the game.

Hopefully that helps him from jumping away from anything that comes remotely inside. Now if they can only get him to hustle down the line...

Easy game when your pitcher doesn't give up any runs. We should just do this every night.

Haven't been able to see the entire game but I like what I'm reading. Good to see the offense break out of their slump and good to see Mitch bounce back from that last start and shut down the Jays.

Santana is looking good. The swing is much more compact. Not as much movement.

It's safe to say Carlos is seeing the ball tonight. He looks good.

Forgive me. Living in Toledo, we get tigers games. I was recalling a game he had like 7 Ks versus them I was watching and had given up 7 runs through 4 innings or so.

Should have realized, since we havent played Toronto yet. But this game is like a carbon copy.

Mourneau goes yard and the Twinkies take a 7-6 lead over the Tigers.

That's what she said!

Seriously though, hope the Twinkies can hold on this time.

This is what Talbot can do. Terrific start.

He can really solidify this rotation.

Hammy just said that IF we win tonight, the Tribe ends May at 14-12 with ONLY 1 win from Carmona and Masterson.

Pretty awesome. Great job, Talbot. Now over to Joe Smith (one of the worst names of all time when checking into a motel!).

Go Tribe!

Talbot settled down after the beginning and pitched very well.

Ahh there goes the shutout. Not sure if LaPorta could have come off the bag but he needed to.

Hard to blame Smith. They didn't hit one remotely hard. Poor decision by OCab. Maybe not a poor decision, but a poorly executed throw.

LaPorta could have made a better effort, but OC should not have made that throw. I know he was just trying to end the inning, but he'll be mad at himself for that one.
