QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:29 AM) Great, now we're using Myers one inning too late, lol. It's absolutely ridiculous he wasn't at least brought in to face Cespedes last inning.

Texas and Tigers tied at 1 going into bottom of the 7th. After rough start, Holland has been incredible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:27 AM) I'm glad we won last night. This reminds me of most series against KC where we gonna be lucky that we got one game. Well, as of now, it couldn't remind me more of the Angels series from last weekend. Good news is we win tomorrow

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:26 AM) Thornton should have been dealt before the deadline while you could still get SOMETHING for him at least. I just don't trust him no matter what the situation is... Give me Veal over Septimo or Thornton, at least he seems like he could actually be a lefty specialist.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) It's almost like Ozzie with some of his favorite veterans. The only way to stop Ventura from losing all these games is for KW to somehow get Thornton off the roster. Ventura's bullpen management if far and away his biggest area for improvement right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:23 AM) LOL, Beckham popping up everything trying to be a HR hitter now. So sad He's not getting his arms extended, which causes his bat speed to significantly diminish.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) Beckham with the angry head shrug Paulie's so proud of his protege

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:20 AM) Yup. I thought Myers should have been in to begin with. It's only worked every time, why try something different?

If this score holds, Thornton will be tied for 2nd on the team in losses and tied for the most losses of any reliever in the majors.

Here's something that should piss everyone off. Gomes hits .288 vs LHP, and .212 vs RHP. Reddick hits .268 vs LHP and .251 vs RHP. So basically, there was no explanation in the world for why Thornton was in that inning.

Brilliant...another Saturday loss due to Thornton and Robin's decision making?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:13 AM) I FREAKING HATE MATT THORNTON. JESUS. If there's a rule in any Matt Thornton outing, it's that there will be a gork shot somewhere that falls in...it's inevitable. When's the last time he's gotten a few swing and misses on his fastball? I don't blame him for the slider to Gomes, but the league will soon start to sit on that pitch with Thornton have zero confidence in his fastball.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:13 AM) Ventura killing us softly this inning..... No excuse in the world for Thornton to still be facing Cespedes that inning after two hard outs and a rocket homer.

Vintage Thornton right now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) Yeah, let's have Matt face another power righty Ha, just exactly who is Myers warming up to face? Basically Ventura managed this inning like Reddick was Bonds and their power righties were nothing special.

Terrible defense continues. Someone wake up Ventura

Um, get him out of the game with all righties up now

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:08 AM) Gomes is scary match-up vs Thornton Yep, could see it coming. Should have been Myers in to face Gomes.

Gomes is scary match-up vs Thornton

Phew, Flowers off the hook

He swung!

Thornton, got to show you can pitch over the error!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:04 AM) Did Lexi even try to hit a sac fly to right field? Nah. Do you think Lexi is not a smart baseball player? That was a lousy at bat. We needed the sac fly badly. Isn't he leading the world in hitting with RISP?

Ugh, would have been nice to get the insurance run.

Squeeze??
