QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:04 AM) You guys are going to be in for a looong summer. I'm sick and tired of looong summers. I want to see some fall baseball. I just dont believe it will happen with this manager and coaching staff. And they ground into a DP. Shocking...

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 12:59 AM) If this year is a downer Ventura has to go. Pull a 2003 Marlins and shake this team up! Bring in someone who will light a fire under their asses!It sure as hell isn't going to be Ventura and his merry little men...

And yet Ventura will still be the manager and his useless coaching staff will continue to be employed.

When is enough enough?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) I think Guerra is legitimately injured. Maybe it was a hoax to get Rodon up after his start in Charlotte and after his service time wasn't an issue, as he would have been unavailable against Detroit anyway. It is funny how injuries got Bryant and Rodon up just after their deadline. But I think if he wasn't hurt they would have had him pitch an inning or so in one of the blowouts. That's possible too but the way Ventura and Coop have handled the bullpen over the last few years. who knows? its all so random...

Good that its Guerra and not Putnam. Putnam pitched well last year and has rebounded in his last 2 outings. He deserves more time. Guerra doesn't deserve the same.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 10:35 PM) Steve Stone said Don Cooper loves Javy Guerra. Ugh

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) Other than Drabek, Putnam would be the guy I axe despite his ERA last year. How do you not axe Guerra over guys like Albers and Putnam. Am I missing something? Am I the only one who dreads Guerra coming into games? I know Robin disagrees with me, but thats not saying much...

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Well Quintana sucked today. Not much you can do about that. Sometimes you just have these games. No, this is sorta typical. The bats were quiet, the at-bats were terrible and we've witnessed another bad baserunning play. Its one thing to lose, its another to lose while also playing s***ty baseball consistently in all facets.

I just don't see much changing with this manager and coaching staff. They're horrible. There's not one facet of the game that I've been impressed with so far.

This is more of a spot for Javy Guerra than Matt Albers.

Bad pitching, bad base-running, bad defense, horrible at-bats. I say we extend the coaching staff again!

Where is Coop?

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) I know he hasn't, but this is ridiculous. You would have hoped he would improve in this aspect, but I'm thinking this is who he is

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Q hasn't looked like himself the entire season so far. What's different? He's never been economical

What the hell was that?

Thank you Adam!

Well other than the run scored and about 30 pitches from Sale, that went well...

They're like the Bad News Bears...

I'm awed by the ignorance of this organization. KW really made a nice hire...

I stand corrected regarding the tag. Robin is the worst (but we already knew that). Why blame him? Blame the people who continue to employ him.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 07:49 PM) definitely. 100%. no doubt about it. the guy's foot moved when Alexei tagged him. Have you seen the way replay has operated? They are not overturning it because his foot may have moved. Regardless, get rid of Robin, get rid of Alexei, and get rid of Danks.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 07:45 PM) Tigers broadcast had a much better shot. They slowed it down, it was clear as day to see the runners foot move once Alexei placed the tag on him. Again, the Tigers announcers were shocked there was no challenge, he was CLEARLY out. There was no way they were overturning that call. How about the bum places a real tag on him? I'm so sick of Alexei. His mental errors are just absurd, at times.

Perhaps culture of this team will not change until you remove the losers who have been here 7-8 years and never won anything. I'm looking at you Alexei, Danks.

He didn't tag him. Alexei's head remains firmly up his own ass.
