QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Exactly NOT the inning we wanted, so far. Scherzer will be able to go 7 now, in all likelihood. How many pitches will old man Leyland let him throw?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) Except she has idea what she's doing. DO NOT DISRESPECT THE KUSTOK

I miss the part of the year when PK came through with the asininely soft clutch single at basically every opportunity

If Hector can ever win the battle with the base on balls, he'll be elite. He's still someone that I like more as a starter than reliever. He's clearly a guy that needs a nice, long warmup and needs to find a rhythm to start hitting the zone consistently. We don't want that one "mulligan" batter for him to walk out of the pen, but over the course of a start we can deal with him putting his own men on to recalibrate now and then.

Completely fooled his ass and he still got the RBI

Luckily, Santiago has owned Cabrera in high leverage situations in the past

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) So great, does this mean Liriano starts this weekend? On 2 days rest, this seems absolutely ridiculous to use Santiago. Looks like we're going at this with a playoff mindset -- win these games and worry about the rest later.

Santiago rules! He should be our closer

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:35 PM) You're making no sense tonight I'm in a trollish mood, don't mind me

Austin Jackson terrifies me. Also, this is an absurdly quick hook for Gavin. I don't like this.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Tigers show how easy it is to manufacture a run. Youk's defense cost us a run there. But Morel and stuff

I'm okay with that strategy this early in the game.

Lucky for us that Avila is slow as sin

Got f***ed on that call. Gavin is going to have to get his s*** together out of the stretch. This is the flipside of retiring 11 in a row.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) He had a hell of a start, too! You know you love him

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Your boy Zach Stewart is facing Charlotte tonight. My brain just malfunctioned

Really impressed by PK yanking that high inside 96mph heater.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) You do realize that suggesting he sit against a pitcher who mows down righties is not the same as platooning, right? Thought not. Hey if everyone else can trade, DFA, retire our players when they do something bad I should get to exaggerate when they do well!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) ????? No one has ever said that I saw his splits against righties being quoted in another thread today.

Platoon Youk! Can't hit righties!

Healthy Gavin = good We could use his right handed presence in the rotation next year. I might give him that $10M and give Peavy a nice pat on the ass on his way out

Gavin looking DIRTY

We have to make Scherzer throw us three strikes per AB. If he does that, well then we're probably f***ed

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) Gone. Ban yourself
