QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 16, 2013 -> 03:31 PM) While I probably would still make Santiago a starter, it is not uncommon in certain settings (like college baseball) where one of your best pitchers will be a multi-inning reliever. You can do like we did with Hector last night, bring him in early in a game with the bases loaded and get out of that jam AND get valuable innings to save the rest of the pen. It is uncommon in MLB and for good reason though. He's appeared in 4 games and has yet to give up a run. Yet we lost every one of those games. Your worst pitcher can mopup and be terrible, not one of the best.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 16, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Usually when there is such an outpouring on this board about a player being better than what is being used, they wind up failing miserably when they are acquired or do get their chance. Rob Mackowiak and Alex Cintron were must acquire players. Josh Fields was going tobe a star. Remember how mad many were whenCredwathe starting 3B in 2008. Tyler Flowers was very popular as abacup. His popularity is waning by the hour. Santiago is the new flavor. He's doing fine out of the bullpen. Hopfully, Danks is the one who takes Axelrod's place. But there was no outpouring for him. And it is irrelevant if they was anyways. Has nothing to do with how he or Axelrod or Floyd perform. We all wanted Sale to be unleashed too, and now he is our superstar franchise player.

I keep looking up expecting to see 99 on the gun

Glad to see this zone has gotten inexplicably wider.

Wow, f***ing ump

You my boy Donnie

Flowers failing was as obvious as it comes.

Santiago is a top 5 talent on a team devoid of talent. You think he would get a shot.

What the hell

Nice ab Alexei!

Nice piece of hitting

I love it when our third best pitcher is our mop up man.

How long is too long Robin?

We need coop in a wheel chair

Get the f*** out

What's with the umps

Buehrle'd

Our rotation would be so much better with Danks and Santiago

Apparently they did indeed cut cell service to prevent more detonations

Break his hand when were done with him.
