  1. The 25 viable arms is not an exaggeration. Pitchers have gone down in droves this season. Oh for the days when we had Wilbur Wood to thrown both ends of the double header. What would he be worth in today's baseball.
  2. The good news coming out of Anderson's injury is seeing Garcia play short so adequately. I didn't remember how competent he can be all over the field. A guy this versatile allows the team to carry an extra catcher or pitcher on a championship team.
  3. Draft and trades is where the core players need to come from. FA can fill in the gaps. Trying to buy your team is prohibitively expensive.
  4. Has a great bat & arm and seems to call a solid game...what's not to like.
  5. That doesn't mean his price isn't going up and I believe significantly.
  6. Detwiler was the story of the night with only two runs and no walks to a powerful lineup. Has an assortment of pitches and throws everything for strikes. All on short rest. Want to see more of him. McCann & Eloy were also involved in fun moments.
  7. Getting more expensive every day they wait to extend him.
  8. I think we better keep Colome. He has been very useful.
  9. I'm starting to feel better about our chances in this game. Who would a thunk it?
  10. Well...isn't that special? When he hits them...they really go.
  11. Bummer pulled himself together. Walks are not a pitchers friend. Apparently Ricky made the right call leaving Bummer in.
  12. Three walks for three different pitchers. This is another Ricky is getting on my nerves game. Well we got out of it. Mercy!
  13. First walk of the night. Don't start that crap again.
  14. This lineup and pitching matchup didn't seem very appealing but we have seen many worse efforts.
  15. Surprised the hell out of me. He looked very good against a tough lineup.
  16. Detwiler and Palka getting a chance to change some minds with this game. So far...Detwiler taking good advantage...Palka not so much.
  17. Not to get ahead of myself...it would really be something to find a decent starter from are own system we hardly ever heard of. Like McCann it would be like finding something for nothing.
  18. I like that Detwiler throws strikes. Not walking the world is a great trait. His pace is very decent also
  19. Detwiler could do himself a lot of good with a strong performance. With our pitching situation he could get himself a good long look. A first round draft choice with 10 years in the pros. Must have something for clubs to keep giving him a chance. For his sake and ours I hope he's successful.
