Here's the scary news...Contreras next start will be against the Rangers!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) Contreras is throwing meatballs. His stuff is so freaking bad. Fork is nice, but when its your only pitch it doesn't mean jack. It's not even good anymore...that forkball has been more like a 70 mph looping pitch up in the zone.

I'm sure no one is up in the pen. Contreras is far and away the worst performer on our roster now.

Pull him...this is absolutely disgusting. He's done with, KW better get off his ass and find another starting pitcher.

So how long of a leash should Contreras really get today? It's very predictable that he has no chance against this team in these conditions. Our pen is pretty fresh, so hopefully Ozzie doesn't leave him out there too long.

Question....why is Toby calling for so many fastballs against these young, aggressive hitters on the Rangers?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) Bad call by ump costs us. Great. Why, he was save. Contreras even tried to go back to the base to tag it again.

Jermaine is so freaking slow out there! Ugh, Contreras just needs to go on the DL.

Great play by PK....would have been a double play if Contreras got to the base.

Yay, more leadoff hits on that mediocre fastball by Contreras. It feels like we haven't turned a double play all weekend.

Twins lost

Good job OC!

Great hustle all the way by Uribe!

And of course, Contreras can't get the Sox out of the inning.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) WTF, I haven't checked the scores yet today, and Hawk said the Tigers were up 13-2. Asshole, it was 3-2. On the other hand, at least he was wrong in declaring Hamilton's as a base hit in the 9th last night.

Nice forkball by Jose. He needs to make that his main pitch today.

Leadoff double given up by Contreras. He's already dropping down way too much.

Damn, that missed by a few feet. We need to keep scoring today.

CQ!!!!!

I love having a player with game changing speed.

What a terrible call at first base. Impressive speed, I would have rather seen that than a homer.

So Carlos Marmol is added to the all-star game cause K. Wood has a blister. How does a set-up man with a 4.50 ERA deserve to make the all-star game?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 05:44 PM) Just what I thought about Richard, not a great prospect. He doesn't throw hard enough nor is he deceptive enough to be anything more than a 4 or 5 starter. He doesn't seem to have much in his secondary pitches. Trade bait

Richard actually is the starting pitcher. He's throwing 89 mph on his fastball so far.

Thrilled to be in first at the ASB!
