No minor league camp kids for this game, as all their own games have begun as of today. All the minor league affiliates meet their matching affiliates from the Indians' system, and we should have info for you in the Minor League Forum later.

Suppan getting rocked.

 

No one out, 2-0 already.

[Boisebrewer]

I'm hoping he gets rocked. Maybe that will encourage "someone" to put him in the pen.

[logan82]

Only half the hits were probably legit anyway.

[Boisebrewer]

I figure 5 legit and 5 un-legit (?) runs in the first should do the trick. Go Soup!!!

[tomwopat]

Soup is pitching great!

This was the least gross looking image I found for "spilled soup."

[logan82]

A picture of gazpacho would have worked as well.

I thought about that, but wanted to go in a different direction this time. The Soup is not just cold, it's out of the bowl.

Gameday is showing 10 pitches for Piniero through the first two innings (10 strikes, 0 balls).

[logan82]

Can't wait to hear what Macha has to say about Gazpacho today.

[hawing]

"Soup's getting guys out, unlike Ben Sheets."

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

He battled back after the 5 runs in the first because Soup's a battler with his gritiness. - Macha

Gameday is showing 10 pitches for Piniero through the first two innings (10 strikes, 0 balls).

 

It does that a lot. Basically if you get an out or hit, it's one pitch, a walk is four pitches and a strikeout is three pitches.

Suppan only gave up 1 HR this time, he's obviously getting his regular season grove back.

[And That]

Suppan had a 12.0 K/9 today, clearly he has found the mustard on his fastball again. Opening day starter.

[Milltownhooker]

2 of them by Pinero:)

Suppan only gave up 1 HR this time, he's obviously getting his regular season grove back.

 

And that HR was because the wind was blowing at a hurricane force out to left. Normal day that's a popup to 3rd.

I'm pretty sure I've found my new nickname for Soup. Well done Logan.

[logan82]

I can't take credit for that. Not sure where I heard it first though.
