WFNY on your television tonight
April 16, 2008Let The Experiment Begin
April 16, 2008While there weren’t many highlights from last nights game, things may have been a lot worse had it not been for a spot-on effort from David Dellucci early in the sixth inning. Our hot commodity left fielder made a great diving catch off of the bat of Coco Crisp, that could have turned ugly. If this one gets by and rolls to the wall, who knows what the inning would have evolved into.
With that said, here’s a great capture of Dellucci’s snag.
The original photo can be found here. I did my best to ‘photoshop’ Jhonny Peralta out of the mix. Frankly, he was just in the way. I hope you don’t mind.

i defer to my comment made a couple posts ago about last nights game. and i’ll say this, even the sun shines on a dog’s a@# occasionally…
Can we photoshop Jhonny out of the field in real life? Boy is he a weak defensive SS.
how do we feel about bringing barfield back up, sliding him into 2nd, asdrubal over to short, peralta to 3rd and blake back onto the bench. oh and then bring fransisco up to fill the left field issue. man would i be in heaven then. actually, is there a place better than heaven?
It’s like you read my mind, Patrick. I actually wrote for my old CSA site in the off season that I thought that’s what the Indians should consider trying. Peralta’s arm may be too weak to play 3B, but it’s worth a shot, in my opinion.
Regarding Jhonny at short, I agree. Majority of any SSs in the league would have gotten to that grounder with the bases-loaded in the ninth (i think it was the ninth) that lead to a run with Pedroia getting nailed at home.
here’s the deal…his weaknes is going to the right, not much room at 3rd for that problem. i think his arm is ok, i would worry more about the longer throw being off line. the other thing this opens up is, as much as it pains me to say this, it allows blake to play the outfield with sizemore and gute. as much as i CAN’T STAND casey effing blake, he is a better hitter than the frankenstein we have playing in left right now.
