QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) Once a highly touted prospect. That was a real nice tight curve. Hall got blown away by a 90MPH fastball down broadway for strike one though. I saw Nippert a few years ago, and he was throwing 97 mph.

Anyone else concerned that we've shut down Linebrink for the last 5 days or so?

Stay hot Thome! This Harrison pitcher is awful.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) So, if we were to grab a starter out of AAA (say Jose gets DL'd), who do you choose? I'll leave Ohka out. Richard 6-0, 2.67 ERA, 38 IP, 25 H, 4 BB, 29 K, 0.76 WHIP Whisler 10-5, 3.46 ERA, 101 IP, 108 H, 31 BB, 49 K, 1.37 WHIP Haeger 8-7, 4.02 ERA, 123 IP, 110 H, 55 BB, 80 K, 1.34 WHIP Broadway 8-5, 4.21 ERA, 117 IP, 135 H, 30 BB, 74 K, 1.40 WHIP Egbert 3-6, 4.67 ERA, 79 IP, 74 H, 25 BB, 74 K, 1.25 WHIP Because I assume no one wants Masset. Richard...Broadway has been an absolute disaster this season since the first month. We're going to have to acquire another starting pitcher if the organization gets the balls to demote Contreras.

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.
