fathom

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:49 AM) Surprised that there's no mention of Rick Hahn when it comes to criticism of this pitching staff. He should thank his lucky stars that Abreu has been as good as he's been (and that Eaton's been solid), or else people would be saying how horrible his offseason moves were. Paulino, Downs, and Davidson for Reed might be 3 of the worst moves made by anyone during this past offseason up to this point.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:49 AM) A f***ing monkey throwing darts is more entertaining than this pitching staff Outside of Sale, Quintana and Webb, it's hard to project any pitchers on this roster being a contributor in 3 years. Maybe Petricka or E. Johnson, but they have a lot to prove.

Hawk is so pissed off

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:46 AM) Well then you shouldn't be mad at Robin because Jones faced 5 guys, gave up 2 hits, walked 3 and allowed 4 runs. Looks like he was a bad choice. IIRC, they thought Jones was healthy coming into the season, and still made that decision. If they knew he was hurt, then it makes no sense for him starting the season on the big league roster. Jones or not, Lindstrom has proven to be a horrible choice. Matt Davidson better turn it around.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:44 AM) He should only pitch when we are up by 2 or up by 2 not in the 9th inning. How about just not pitching in the 9th inning?

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:42 AM) For everyone blaming Ventura for having Lindstrom as the closer still, you were all the same ones who loved the move as a means of boosting his trade value. Who else in that hell-hole of a bullpen do you want in the closer role? You'd all hate Belisario the same way Dodger fans do once he gets his chance at it. Face it, there are no options; Putnam is our best reliever. Actually, I'm pretty sure almost everyone on this board was pissed it wasn't Jones coming out of ST.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:40 AM) You just can't let longoria beat you. He's their best hitter. Awful by Lindstrom. 1-0 fastball after walking the previous hitter is just begging for that.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:40 AM) Lindstrom is still our best pitcher in the pen. Sadly. I suppose Webb is good. Give me Belisario and Webb over him, easy. He couldn't have gotten luckier in that last game at Detroit.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:39 AM) Not mad though this was inevitable when you walk 10 batters. He leaves in Petricka and Putnam for seemingly 1,000 pitches, but then he pulls Belisario after a quick 8th inning for a guy that has looked horrible all season.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:38 AM) Robinnnnn Good thing is he'll hopefully be long gone by the time this team is competitive.

Can none of our relievers throw a f***ing offspeed pitch for a strike? Thus, they all have to throw their weak fastballs whenever they get behind in the count.

Way to go Robin, you idiot. Everyone but Ventura knows Lindstrom shouldn't be the "closer".

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:36 AM) Oh hey, Matt Lindstrom in to wreck the day! He doesn't miss any bats

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:35 AM) Tie game after 8, there is no save opportunity for the home team the rest of the evening. Belisario had an easy inning and is probably pitching the best of our relievers. Lindstrom has looked terrible far too often this year to keep getting put in this spot.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:33 AM) Matt coming in. Odd!

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:31 AM) Wow Rays announcer actually thought it was John Danks coming to run Nope, it was the lesser hitting Danks

Dunn looking like Tony Gwynn

Beckham's swing seems so mechanical right now. Semien continues his trend of taking strikes and chasing pitches out of the zone. His current strikeout rate is unacceptable.

Nice double play! Semien showing some good instincts at 3rd tonight.

Thought for sure Belisario would start this inning.

Offense gone silent since Flowers tied it

Snell with one of the dumbest fouls imaginable

Putnam getting the big outs tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 02:35 AM) Coupled with only 3 strikeouts 4

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 02:34 AM) 9 walks tonight..woof! Coupled with only 3 strikeouts
