Way to go Alexei!

Love watching Tank face LHP. Alexei needs to reach so Flowers can make this a 7-6 game.

2 on, 2 outs for Tigers after an error and HBP

Good job by Axelrod tonight. Flavum deserves credit for calling this one a few days ago.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) If Axelrod only goes 2.1, Quintana is definitely being skipped next time around. Yep, they should skip Sale vs KC and have it be Liriano, Santiago and Axelrod

So I just checked the splits for Carroll and Mauer, and it makes things even stranger for why Ventura let Q face Carroll but then pulled him when Mauer was up. Carroll is significantly better vs LHP, and Mauer has been better vs RHP this year.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) Just checked in to see that Quintana checked out. 7 runs allowed in one inning between him & Axelrod. Wow Only thing missing that inning was Mackowiak letting a fly ball go over his head.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:11 AM) Point of KW telling the media this? That he's disgusted by the stupid baseball he saw over the weekend and that they need to change things up for when they play the Tigers next week. I have no problem with him calling out the team, as that was a very bad series.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 02:21 AM) Next year this pitching staff is going to look completely different. Or atleast I think it will. Kenny definitely has a lot of tough decisions to make with the staff. Hopefully they have some money to spend on players, if not....oh boy

7 straight retired...Konerko with a terrible at bat.

Time to get 2 runs this inning. Hopefully they can get some guys on for Viciedo and Flowers.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:14 AM) Where are the outs going to come from down the stretch on this team? Quintana is out of gas, Sale is nearing that fork in the road, and Floyd is hurt. We don't even have a 4th starter right now if we make the playoffs. Said it last week, Kenny got caught sleeping during the waiver deadline. Still seems crazy not one move was made after the trade deadline outside of signing Wise.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:12 AM) I'm fairly confident you don't know what the hell you just watched. I know I watched a rookie who pitches to contact with shoddy command get backed up by little league defense That's exactly it, he doesn't have the stuff to excel if he doesn't have good command. His command has gone to hell after his amazing start.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:10 AM) I just hope they let Santiago start Sunday...he deserves another shot. I'm sure they'll remove Q and start Axelrod and Santiago this weekend. Mercy the rotation depth is bad right now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:09 AM) I know Revere would have had that ball De Aza missed. De Aza plays too deep, especially in a park like the Cell that plays so small. Hopefully next year they convince him to play closer.

Beckham hit that ball hard. Nice to see. Go Cleveland!

5.15 ERA for Quintana after the ASB with a WHIP over 1.5 and BAA way over .300

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:03 AM) I thought the Morneau ball to YOUK was ruled an error? Nope, ruled a hit

Well, this definitely overshadows that inning in KC on a Saturday a few weeks ago. How many 2 strike hits can our flamethrowers allow this inning?

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:01 AM) I just dont understand how people watch innings like this and then mutter things like Quintnana is awful. He's made pitches to get outs. 2 DP balls and two other outs, yet only got one of them because of horrible defense. Does De Aza realize its a September pennant race? Catch the damn ball! Walking number 8 hitter cause he has no command of his offspeed pitches and then giving up 1-2 hit on a fastball down the plate to Eduardo Escobar.

This might be the worst defensive inning in history for there to be no errors given to the defense.

And of course, Cabrera homers to make it 3-2 Indians

Wow, what a terrible pitch on the 3-2.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) He did, I will post the article in a second. Awesome

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:56 AM) I read in the daily herald that Kenny called out the team for 'lack of baseball intellect' during the Detroit series. I hope he includes the coaching staff in that.
