I stand by this thread.
If Carl can't play left he's not gonna stick up here. Apparently.

It's possible I had
slightly more than I said.
Edwards did look pretty fantastic last night. He got a generous call or two that helped him out, but he's tough to hit when he has command of his stuff.*
* Just like 95% of relievers.

The 96 on the black was particularly nice.
Quote from: Joe Maddon
He just took command of the inning. There's jump at the end of his pitches. If we can start working him in and he can get comfortable, that's a big boost for us."

What would you call a pitcher that was filled to 50%?

In search of bright spots, Carl Edwards Jr. is looking good.
Joe trusting him with the 8th inning in a one-run ballgame was either out of confidence or desperation, but fuck it, it worked.
I really wish he wore #99.

Is 9 appearances spanning 10.2 innings enough to tell Eli to get fucked?
Asking for a friend.

Whether or not you did, I *do* know that PenFoe's memestamp game is strong so you may need to wear this one for the benefit of us all.

Indeed. Whilst I have some sympathy with Eli's plight, it's apparent that he has a limited understanding of just how this all works.
Bump.

Some us believed in him a long time ago (http://desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=7938.msg280140#msg280140), unlike you and his other doubters.
Next year he becomes the 7th inning guy in the Bullpen Hydra.

Sorry, you got your Fan Club membership revoked after prematurely dooming him to a lifetime of control problems.
YOU DON'T GET TO TALK TO BAE ANYMORE.
That game was probably completely meaningless and it came against the Angels and was mostly drama free, yet Carl Edwards Jr wandering in and sticking it up Mike Trout's ass is going to be one of my favorite moments of the season.

The meaning of the game will be determined by Strop's MRI.
In the meantime, seeing Edwards sack up against two likely Hall of Famers made me tingly in my man parts.

I was actually impressed that he had the brains to be careful with Pujols even after jumping out 0-2 on him. Pujols didn't offer at the stuff off the plate and eventually made good contact in the at-bat after forcing the count full, but I was bracing for a big letdown for Carl after the high of making Trout look silly in a big situation the previous at-bat.

Nice work from a still-wet-behind-the-ears battery.
As long as we're bumping everybody, this guy deserves a turn.
He certainly wasn't flawless in the postseason, but I think we saw a lot more good than bad from him this year.
Excited for this kid's long-term future, regardless of role.
Rock on, Carl.
Yeah but the bigger kids have to stop stealing his meal money when they're on the road...

Man, it's dusty in here.
God damn.
Carl Edwards is the truth. The scrawny, fireballing truth.
Faced 6
Retired 6
So much stud.
Damn, son.
Which one of you fucking guys broke Carl?
My dude.
Whose blood is Carl gonna have to drink first?
After Eli of course...

Welcome back.
I don't think I've ever seen someone look so beaten down on the mound. I think he needs to go to Iowa just so he can (hopefully) get some guys out and get his confidence back,
I miss him already :(
