my oh my Martin

[puffnstuff]

What was that? Ugh

[puffnstuff]

Nice catch Saunders

[Dan02]

That's about as good of 6 innings that you're gonna see a pitcher throw. Sanchez is dealing tonight, hopefully he can go 8.

[formulate]

Sanchez is filthy. Painting corners at 95+ and an absolute hammer curve. Not even 24 years old!

[puffnstuff]

That was amazing. Wow Sanchez.

[flames_fan_down_under]

For some reason EE is struggling hitting with RISP. His BA is .190. I hope that changes

[browna]

In other news, Royals are back plunking players like sore losers as they get beaten.

Of the many idiots over there, this time it's Ventura (again) . Manny Machado landed some solid punches.

[Sylvanfan]

Anthopolis secretly wishes he'd dealt Sacher to the Dodgers last year. He's looking like a serious stud this year.

[V]

Yikes, he's dealing tonight.

[V]

Rough inning for this Tiger pitcher.

[TKB]

This team is just bad at hitting right now. All the big guns are struggling and it's really showing.

[V]

Yeah, they really let him off the hook there...

Sorry what were you saying?

And now it's a 1 run game with no one out and a guy at second. Sure would of been nice to have some insurance runs....

Gibbons left him in too long...... This guy is just a brutal manager.

[Jason14h]

He was at 95 pitches and a 1 hitter . We have the worst bullpen in the league.

Tonight wasn't the wrong decision to bring him back out ( in theory )

It's easy to Monday morning quarterback it. I mean I guess in this situation it wasn't a crazy idea but as my earlier post says I thought we should just ride him through the 8th.

Let the guy whose paid to end the game end the game, instead you've got him in a situation where the tying run is just 180 feet away before you get your closer in.

If it's 5-0 fine let him go, but he's basically in his first full year as a starter, hasn't gone beyond 7 all year, it's not Roger Clemens here.

[V]

Yup, terrible managing, terrible hitting. They should have won it in the 8th, but the big guns were useless.
