Now they're finally blowing the whistles a little bit

They should eject the whole crowd, those bastards

woohoo!

lol @ intentional balk

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) Maybe throwing at BP speed is under the "hitting speed" and fooling the Tigers hitters. He's struggling to get the ball past 89 today. Weird. He was always 90+ starting for us last year and would even mix in a few at 94. Scouting reports said when he came out of the bullpen in the minors he was at 95-96...I'd like to see that. On the bright side, his ball is moving quite a bit today when he locates it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) Makes you wonder how in the world he was ever a high prospect? Probably has something to do with how he used to be throwing 5+ mph harder??

Stewart needs to see a doctor. No velocity.

Rios CAN NOT get doubled up on that ball

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:54 PM) Porcello's just kicked our ass this season. He's pitching his ass off, it's going to take some good/lucky offense to beat him

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:52 PM) Axelrod probably is guarantted one more start with the DH tomorrow. I think I'd rather seee Stewart though. I really wish Stewart was starting in AAA right now. He's a sinker-first guy and that's just wasted in the bullpen. He seems to even have lost velo in the bullpen, which doesn't make sense.

Watson finally contributing a little bit

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) Yea we talk about the pitching but we all know it's the hitting letting us down. Right. I think it should be reasonable to expect Axelrod to pitch well enough that we win whenever the offense shows up. OHMAN!

I hope Tyler will actually go to his knees to stop the next low pitch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:46 PM) Wow, this game is really dragging...almost 100 pitches for Axelrod in less than 5 IP. Don't expect that kind of pitch count from a control pitcher. Needed Dylan to go six innings there....one of the first early hooks of the season by Ventura. I expect him to do better when he has a better routine instead of getting called up for sporadic relief appearances before finally getting a start. Would be nice if he faced an easier lineup too, lol.

I think Axelrod may be capable of holding down the 5 spot.

Boozer got f***ing hacked

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) Nice job by Ventura of pulling him already. The only reason I second guess it for a minute is the guy coming in.

uh oh. I don't want to see Ohman.

f*** Spencer Hawes

Thank you Prince!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) Why in the hell are you throwing 0-2 fastballs to Miguel Cabrera? What Stone said, gotta be in off the plate there.

Not a good start.

I don't think Lillibridge knew that first pitch was offspeed when he swung at it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) Hit a homer Lillibridge I'm ready for the return of Lillibomb

I can't even imagine Hawk trying to use an iPad without supervision.
