Bullet points: *Tampa Bay’s David Price was 7-1 entering this game. He was outdueled by Freddy Garcia, who allowed just two runs on four hits over seven strong innings. *Garcia nearly didn’t come away with the victory, as Evan Longoria’s double in the bottom of the sixth was about a foot short of being a [...]

Boy, did this one ever play out by the numbers. Cleveland starter Justin Masterson entered tonight’s game with a startling inability to retire left-handed hitters. They posted an OBP of .472, and it only got higher after the first inning. The first four left-handed hitters reached. Juan Pierre and A.J. Pierzynski singled, and after an [...]

In his first start of the season, Freddy Garcia showed what he was capable of. You could say he did the same in this start, although in a different way. He showed what happens when he gets too much of the plate. Garcia was flat. Unlike his outing against the Twins, when he was extremely [...]
April 9: Twins 4, White Sox 3 (11 innings)
This kind of game is a fan murderer. I’m not sure what was the most frustrating part… No. 1: Watching Tony Pena strike out J.J. Hardy once, if not twice, with two outs in the 10th inning, only to have home plate umpire Chris Guccione disagree. Hardy, of course, grounded a single through the left [...]
