Huge DP for his pitch count!

Nibble, nibble, nibble

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 12:28 AM) Friday. 2 for his last 29 or so 2 for last 31, no homers, 3 walks and 11 strikeouts

It seems like Dunn's bat speed is really awful right now. Got to get him going again, as that average is headed for below .200.

Tigers tied it up quickly

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 12:23 AM) Our first two guys in the lineup don't even have OBPs above .300. Have fun hitting with no one on Dunn and Paulie. Yep, no one on

UM, YES

So far on the MLB Network broadcast of Tigers/Yankees, they've said that Porcello was drafted in the 27th round and that the ball flies out of Yankee Stadium to left center field.

Looks like Tigers are catching the Yankees at a good time, as their offense looks very flat. Granderson has a lot of homers this year, but the rest of his numbers are awful.

KW. Get us some bench players

YES!! Another great use of the change-up.

And of course, he can't elevate the 0-2 fastball. Everything is at the same eye level way too often. Hosmer scares the crap out of me here.

Yikes, got away with a meatball of a slider.

Be a great time for a change-up in the dirt.

Darn, bad time for an Alexei error.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:21 AM) How do you know that? The option isn't something the Sox have to pick up. Thats like saying why would Peavy sign for less then his option amount. If the market is less and I think with Youk he wants to play somewhere that he is comfortable (and he's fit in nicely) and most teams are going to be leary about going long-term/big money with him since there are injury concerns (Based upon the past couple years). 13M/yr is more then he'd get on the open market. At most I think he'd get 9-10M. If the Sox decline the option and he hits the open market, you'd have to think he'd possibly get more money than that if he finishes strong.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) I think Youk is back, but it isn't like they have to pick up his option. I think they'll sign him to a 1yr deal with an option for a 2nd year at somewhere like 6-8M per. Why would he do that though and make less in 2 years than he could in one?

Tomorrow is the perfect time to rest Dunn against the lefty. Heck, let Flowers catch and DH AJ

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) I get the feeling they did a minor clean-up while in there. And it wasn't more then that. THey also probably strengthened the shoulder as PT pointed out. I thought it was interesting that Danks said he was happy to get the chance to be healthy again. Makes you wonder how long this bothered him?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) Youk! He is back, f***ers. On pace for 39 homers and over 110 RBI for a full season if you use his White Sox stats.

I'd love to see AJ bat this inning just to see the biggest uppercut swing you could imagine

Youk!!

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) It's one of his only clutch hits of the year. And I have no idea why you'd want to speed up Beckham's bat...just blow him away with heat. No need to fool around with him. The Cubs say hello

Hit-and-run time?
