A note on Jeremy Guthrie...

Quote:
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=alt2 style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset">For Jeremy Guthrie, it’s start Sunday or wait until 2009.

The Orioles’ ace, rebounding from a right shoulder impingement, plans to start Sunday’s season finale against Toronto. It would be his first appearance since Aug. 29.

Guthrie threw a 53-pitch side session Wednesday afternoon, and he said it had nothing to do with proving to himself that he was ready to pitch again.

“I don’t think it was about that,” Guthrie said. “It was about building a pitch count. … This is about getting stretched out.”

Manager Dave Trembley said Guthrie, who will throw another side session Friday, would be on an undetermined innings and pitch limit. Whether or not Guthrie is able to give the Orioles a quality start didn’t matter to Trembley.

The White Sox got a break when Indians ace Cliff Lee, a 22-game winner, was scratched from his final start Sunday because of a stiff neck. He’ll be replaced by Bryan Bullington.

Are these guys fated to win their division? Their make-up game is vs a Detroit team that hasn't given a shit on the road for sometime (1-7 SU last 8), Minnesota has been completely incompetent in trying to put them away, and now they dodge a Cliff Lee bullet.

A trend note for their Game 3 vs Cleveland: the Tribe have scored 11 & 12 run totals their last 2 games. This season they've 4 times previously scored 9+ run totals over 2 straight games, and subsequently totaled 2, 1, 2 & 3 runs (that's a mighty avg of 2.00 runs/game).

 

[tuck321]

Thinking first 5 plays on Fish and Nationals. Kendrick abysmal in day games and has been pitching very poorly whilr Perez is looking for a job next year. Olsen no prize but 5-2 in the day and Oliver recently struggling and on 2.2 innings of 3 days rest has an era of 13.5 and in general has always done better with more rest not less. No numbers up so have to see what is available. Very likely to be on Moose. Simply see Yanks using everyone for a win here and Boston unconcerned.

 

[tuck321]

Very interested in the Tampa line up. Saturday they were playing off a major party with a skeleton team. Today much better rested and a dog. Maybe. Have to see what is up but once again maybe game or first 5 Tampa. Have to see the line up

 

[tuck321]

On Moose plus 10 cents. No first 5's up. Also moderate bet on Houston under 9

 

[tuck321]

Having trouble looking Angel up but no peach is for sure. Will be pitching 1 to 2 innings. Lou can do what he wants here.

 

[tuck321]

Got down on both first 5 bets. plus a half and ml in Mets game also very small bet on Fiish for game. Cardinals very fine home team on Sunday. PrettyJohn fairly good pitcher.

Minnesota is missing Greinke today as well so both teams do get a break. Sox have Buerhle going on 3 days rest after throwing 120 pitches against the Twins on Wednesday, and if he can't go 7 good innings today (meaning 3 ER or less), the Sox don't win today.

 

[tuck321]

Life time 3-1 with a 3 era on 3 days rest. Bad in the day but a very good home Sunday and September pitcher . Had Cleveland last 2 but not sure what to do there today.

I'd just stay away, focus on the NFL and/or get ready for the MLB Playoffs.

Sox are not in good shape right now, and Cleveland is playing well.

End of the season ......wow this sucker flew by ......

Hard to erase negative momentum so those teams limping into the last game are in toruble IMO. You need to do what Johan did and simply shut down the opponent and send a message to your teammates ....

How bout OVER 148.5 runs GS today ?? Lots of fringe pitchers going to get relief work .....

If I was CLE and BALT I would sit Lee and Guthrie .....I know Lee was scratched but he hasnt been healthy for couple weeks with this neck issue and coming off basically his 2 worst starts of the year if I recall correctly so him not pitching is a mixed blessing in the playoff races and Guthrie why risk anything with a team desperate for SP......?

Moose going for 20 .......

Interested in over 9 Det ....1st 5 under Yanks or under ...., Jay sML , Over Wash , Over Milw ....thats about as far as I checked so far .....just 1 play the GS over so far .....:cheers:

 

[TheSportsThing]

Jumped on the Mets. Weak Fla lineup and Mets own Olsen. BOL fellaz, may the force be with us all.

 

[Timh]

Yanks in rain delay...
