MLB Baseball GameCenter - CBS SportsLine.com

5 IP, 3 ERs, 8 hits, 3 Ks, 0 BBs and the W in his first start in the big leagues since 2005 when he was still a Padre.

Gee, thanks you had to remind me. He did it against my Brewers. BooHoo for me!!! Oh well, doesn't everybody do something positive against the Brewers!!!

Lawrence on Lawrence: "When you don't throw hard, people automatically assume you can't cut it. I've battled that reputation my whole life. It's motivated me. Just because I can't hit 98 on the radar doesn't mean I can't hang at this level. I can. I know it."

haha, sorry for the added reminder BF19, as a Padre fan I know all about the pain of seeing your team struggle against a guy you'd think they'd beat up on

Just had to post this, though, as Lawrence is a guy that Padres fans used to have high hopes for. (Or, at least, I did)

edit: by "high hopes" I simply mean becoming a reliable "#3" starter before someone misinterprets that portion of my post.

I do remember that in San Diego about Lawrence. It is ok, I was just having some fun with it, thats all. I would probably do the same thing with an ex-Brewer that we had high hopes for in his career also (Jeff D'Amico)!!


I could go on and on with a list of "hopefuls" for the Brewers!! hahaha!!!

I watched the bottom of the 1st in the game via MLB.TV. It was weird seeing BLaw pitch in a different uniform...

on a side note, i've always hated that cookie cutter nickname of the first initial of the first name and the first three letters of the last name, but I think it works well with Lawrence.
