Impressive by Septimo there

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) Tigers lead 4-2. Fielder just hit a three run homer. f***. WTF is Ron Washington doing? NOW he brings in the lefty, after Prince homers? Looking at the numbers, not letting Ross face Prince makes absolutely no sense.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) Tigers lead 4-2. Fielder just hit a three run homer. f***. Rally started by Dirks, of course. There's just no comparing the Tigers and White Sox lineup right now.

Way to make him pay for it...yuck. Bottom of the order needs to get the Sox going next inning, and the crappy thing is there's no one to PH tonight really (nice 24 man roster)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:58 AM) I wouldn't expect him to be. He hasn't pitched in two months. I agree, the only person who he's made really good pitches to has been Youk.

Maybe it's me, but McCarthy hasn't been very sharp tonight.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) I thought that ball went behind the pole. Nah, about 15 feet foul unfortunately

Wow, how the hell did he get that good of a jump on that?

Rios due for a homer this inning

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) Cliff Pennington almost hit a HR... Gavin keeping us in the game

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:48 AM) I really want to see what Conor Jackson can do again. I want to see what both Johnson and Jackson can do. It's real simple, release Hudson and call up both guys.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:47 AM) Dan Johnson's actually shown some power in the ML though. I'm not going to be happy if it's Morel who gets the call over Johnson (or Wise or Jackson).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) You wonder how he hit for all that power in AAA this year. Well, it is the same league where Dan Johnson has an OPS over .900 Dan Johnson's performance against righties this year has been fantastic. 1.023 OPS with 18 more walks than strikeouts. Give him a try KW!

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:41 AM) Danks doesn't have a strike out problem from what little I've seen of him though, he usually manages to put the bat on the ball. I'd just let him swing It's such a weak swing though. Seems very prone to popping it up to center due to very little torque on his swing. I am confident in saying that in a pennant race, you better not try and play him and Viciedo at the same time for a week. That would seem like a foolish plan.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) I like his defense, but not very much with that bat. Even his hits have been bloopers and singles. You calling for "THE CATCH" to return? Absolutely, especially if they're not going to try and get some more offense into Konerko's spot for the next week. Danks is nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) Not sure why they keep trying to bunt with Danks... 0 for his last 8 on 15 pitches

Another first pitch out for Danks...awful. It would have been a beautiful squeeze effort.

Time to get some runners on for ADA to knock in

GMAB Viciedo. Thankfully a LHP is on the mound tomorrow.

ALEXEI!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:16 AM) Sveum talking about benching Castro What happened?

Poor Rios, 2 rockets for outs tonight

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:17 AM) Feels like he gets one per game. Three best players in the AL Central this year, IMO, are Cabrera, Rios and Jackson (Willingham and AJP next round out top 5)

Tigers scored (another Austin Jackson triple), 2-1 Rangers lead

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:12 AM) Didn't Oakland beat the piss out of the Sox earlier this year in the Cell? Seems I recall some sad nights vs. Oak this season. No, played 3 in Oakland and lost 2 of them
