2012-06-19 Blue Jays (Chavez) at Brewers (Thornburg), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-9]]

[TURBO]

Marcum is available for post game shaving cream pie duty... That was funny right there...

[topper09er]

Filthy curve first pitch to Escobar

[TURBO]

Everyone run to your fantasy leagues waiver wire...lol

 

I picked him up this morning in 3 of my 4 leagues, just in case...

[markedman5]

They have hit some balls hard but TT looks like he has really good stuff. Fast ball has some serious movement on it.

[topper09er]

The last change was left up but Escobar was fooled and out in front.

 

In this very early 2 inning sample Thor appears to be good at getting guys to chase the high fastball, however he has hit 96. Could also be a deceptive delivery combined with the hitters having never faced him before.

[Yeti73]

at least all these Ks will get his pitch count up.

 

I hate that I'm confident about this game.

If you want to get the jump on RR's cutesy nickname for Thornburg, I'd change Thor to "Thorny."

 

Just saying...

[TURBO]

Chavez looks unhittable right now... I only hope he runs out of gas, because if we get to the 6th or 7th inning again being no hit, I'm gonna puke.

 

EDIT: Being one-hit, my bad...

Or Ty-ie?

[topper09er]

high heater please, Chavez cannot bunt

[topper09er]

"Izturis is playing down in Nashville"

 

That sounds about right

[TURBO]

Oh how I wish we could have kept Lawrie...

 

(This is not a commentary on the trade, just a wish...)

[topper09er]

First time through the order Thorny only threw 3 curves, then starts Lawrie with one. Good job back there Martin

[TURBO]

Blew that one by Lawrie for sure!

 

EDIT: The pitch before the HR obviously, not the HR pitch.

[TURBO]

CRAP!

 

Just makes me wish even more we still had this guy...

[topper09er]

Crap, looked like Lawrie was almost sitting on that change. Left it up though

[markedman5]

Lawrie is impressive....wow

[Yeti73]

That is my fault. I just said "i'd trade Marcum for Lawrie 99 of 100 times."

[jjfanec]

Ugh should have known Lawrie's power would resurface this series

[The stache]

I'm not worried. Tyler Thornburg is going to be a great pitcher. Kid needs a little more time.

 

Picked up my first Thornburg rookie auto two weeks ago:

Figures it would be Lawrie that first goes yard on him.

[jjgott]

What a double!

[pacopete4]

This kid hits better than our entire bench.

[topper09er]

New 2 hitter?

[thablingster]

Tyler Thornburg just hit the ball harder than anyone in our lineup so far. Awesome, lol.

[pacopete4]

If they wont let him be in our rotation, please let him be our right handed outfielder. Thats a better swing than Gomez.
