Rays starting rotation is pretty dang impressive.

Indeed it is, while the Boston's consists of Jon Lester and pray for typhoon. These sumbitches are gonna be tough to hold off.

[Jack Rabbit Slim]

Another pitcher who doesn't throw strikes...

[JohnnyTheBone]

Promising start for young Mr. Weiland!

[soxin6]

Not the best way to start for a young pitcher.

[kartvelo]

11 pitches, three outs, no baserunners

5 pitches, no outs, two baserunners

[shepard50]

Dammit, that location is what, like 1 inch off.....so close to nice pitching - I guess thats why they call it AAA.

[normstalls]

nice start losers

[AimingForYoko]

We're doing this now.

Seriously?

[Stu Nahan]

Weiland fits right in on this horseshit team.

[kartvelo]

11 pitches, three outs, no baserunners

5 9 pitches, no outs, two three baserunners

[MoGator71]

I know he's not pitching, but can I still blame Lackey?

[Nomar813]

Velocity's up, location's off; Weiland seems amped up.

[gharper]

It would be nice to be able to stay in a game for at least one inning.

[shepard50]

Well this is...the opposite of an auspicious beginning. I am trying to be positive here.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Weiland may be psychologically scarred after this.

[AimingForYoko]

Why would you even hit?

[JohnnyTheBone]

Longoria should have been rung up for interference on that bullshit takeout slide 9 feet from the bag.

[normstalls]

this is painful

Keep hoping for a fun game....keep being disappointed.
On the cusp of digging another huge hole for themselves

[Stu Nahan]

Why do I get the awful feeling that someday there will be a mod here named Weiland?

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Longoria should have been rung up for interference on that bullshit takeout slide 9 feet from the bag.

Absolutely. He couldn't have reached the bag unless he took his bat out with him.

[cwright]

Well, at least Damon's forcing him to throw strikes. Maybe he'll get the hang of it.

[shepard50]

Is Damon doing a little extra "hey rook, watch my feet" dance?

[normstalls]

suck it Johnny!

come on Weiland. Get one more bud!

[AimingForYoko]

lol

[Sprowl]

Weiland has great movement and better-than-average velocity, but pity about the control. It may take him a little while longer to learn command, but his ceiling is very high.

[ifmanis5]

I know he's not pitching, but can I still blame Lackey?

Yup. Feel free to throw in a Lugo any 'ol time as well.

[kieckeredinthehead]

Maybe he could toss a warmup inning in the bullpen

[AimingForYoko]

I'll take it!

[cwright]

Whew.
That felt like a major victory.

[kartvelo]

apart from the 197 pitches, not a bad outcome

[patinorange]

Hey, only down one! Yipee!

[mpx42]

Lackey would've given up at least three runs. It's the little things!

[Jack Rabbit Slim]

I expected that to be a lot worse

[Kilgore A. Trout]

What's amazing is that inning wasn't as terrible as it felt.

[normstalls]

phew!!

could have been a lot worse...
Wake up bats

[JohnnyTheBone]

A Kyle Weiland Start: Where giving up only one first-inning run seems like a victory.

[unclebobo]

I'll take that

Give the kid a jumbo slice and an old Milwaukee tall boy to settle him down

SCORE!

[Sprowl]

Why do I get the awful feeling that someday there will be a mod here named Weiland?

Because your glass is half-empty. Some people would say that you should look at it as half-full, but I say down the remaining half and get a refill.

[MoGator71]

Longoria should have been rung up for interference on that bullshit takeout slide 9 feet from the bag.

Yea no shit. Of course I'm getting TB's broadcast and they just spent 10 minutes ballwashing Longo for his hustle. Yea sure Evan, do that shit to Pedroia next time and prepare for Pedey to punch you right in the cock. And take your cap.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

It's only the first inning. Maybe things will get better...

Crap, Hellickson didn't trip on the way out of the dugout and shatter his leg.

[etakbear]

Hey, only 1 run - there's still hope. Fingers crossed.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Weiland was wild, but he kept the pitches down in the zone for the most part. And he got squeezed on a few too.

[normstalls]

A Kyle Weiland Start: Where giving up only one first-inning run seems like a victory.

hah. That made me laugh.
It sucks that we have gotten to the point that we are happy when a pitcher throws to a 9.00 ERA

[shepard50]

Something about his low on the zone 94 mph stuff looks like Masterson's - his heavy changeup looks like Jedi's sinker and ditto the control issues....

[BoSoxFink]

Why are the Red Sox made of glass? I am sick of them getting so many injuries

[modifydbear]

So I guess neither side is getting the bottom of the strike zone today?

[BannedbyNYYFans.com]

When Weiland is in the Hall of Fame we'll all look back and say, "Remember that one inning against the Rays when a young Kyle worked out of trouble and only let up one run?" "Sure I do, that was right when they went on that epic September run - culminating with the Sox winning the World Series back in 2011". Well probably not.

[shepard50]

It's only the first inning. Maybe things will get better...

Crap, Hellickson didn't trip on the way out of the dugout and shatter his leg.

Your'e in seventh inning form in the second.

[MoGator71]

Ortiz not getting to 3rd on a ball like that is pretty fucking ridiculous.

[unclebobo]

PAPI! Srsly!
