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.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:55 AM) That's the way managers manage now. Can't get anyone warmed up in second inning unless ten runs are in, even if you have 15 pitchers on the staff. They must learn this in Manager School, where winning a ball game is not as important as others thinking you are the smartest guy in the room. I just don't understand leaving him in to face the righty, and THEN pulling him when the lefty is up.

How in the hell did they give Revere a hit on that?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) Wow, Quintana was awful. Absolutely no way you can start him again this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 01:53 AM) Starting to remind me of 2000. Just don't have enough pitching to survive in the playoffs. Theoretically, Sale/Peavy/Liriano....but both Sale and Peavy have been slowly wearing down the 2nd half, especially Sale. Give me Bedard over Q right now

So he leaves him in all that time and then brings in Axelrod to face Mauer? The decision making continues to be absurd.

Yay, more pathetic defense. The 20 fans in attendance are mad.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:50 AM) There's just no way they can start Quintana against the Tigers next week. This better be it for him on the season.

And they're just getting someone warmed up. What a joke

Pathetic...PULL HIM! Way to throw a fastball right down the plate ahead of the count.

No one up in the pen?

Would Youk have had a DP if he caught Morneau's ball?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) It's like they're waiting on every breaking pitch knowing it will be out of the zone. He walks in a run... I'm of the opinion he needs to be shut down, and Stone seems to agree with it.

Shades of Quintana's start in Minnesota when we gave him the big lead and then he couldn't pitch over a defensive miscue.
