Didn't he go on the Bereavement List?

 

And Balta, you're right.  I forgot about that fly out to CF.

I didn't know for sure, and if he went on it wouldn't we have called someone up to replace him?

4 homers at the Cell...

The difference is that Jason Johnson GETS to pitch at Comerica for his home games.  McCarthy will have to pitch at the Cell during home games.

Well do you think Detroit would to have B-Mac then, instead of someone like Ledezma?

 

Garcia's a flyball pitcher too, and he's had a good season. Buerhle has terrible splits at the Cell last season, and he's been great there this year. It's POSSIBLE to pitch well there.

MIght be time to think about getting somebody up.

wow we are really getting lucky in this stadium that nobody is hitting any homeruns

s***, everything is hit hard. That is, unless they K.

 

And that corner is popular tonight.

4 homers at the Cell...

Next time a pitcher starts I'm gonna keep count.

He is getting hit HARD.

5 homers at the Cell...

How is Pods such a God-awful fielder? f***ing ass, this better not cost McCarthy the win.

Rowand handles that one no problem.

he hasn't played center all year, relax kid.

I'm sorry, but your rookie pitcher allows two straight flyouts to the wall in a one run game, you pull him before he faces someone that has already homered against him. However, another example of why just because your fast, it doesn't make you a good outfielder.

I dunnno. That's a tough play no matter what. He shouldn't have been in there against Shelton. He was getting crushed. I mean they were killing the ball all night.

Pods is a mediocre at best defensive outfielder

6.1 innings for McCarthy, 2 runs, runner on 3rd because of Podsednik, good game by BMac. Got hit kind of hard but never broke.

 

Let's get him the win boys.

Damnit.

 

Great work Brandon, that run right there is on Pods.

 

Damnit Pods that is why you don't play center.

he hasn't played center all year, relax kid.

He's a bad center fielder but he's played left just fine imo, nothing spectacular but good enough.

I dunnno. That's a tough play no matter what.

 

Disagree with that. First, Pods is playing way too shallow in the outfield, especially when we have a one run lead late in the game (even Hawk pointed that out). Pods does an awful job at trying to run with the ball, instead of just running to a spot. Look at how easily Nook caught PK's long flyball earlier in this game.

Rondell White will be coming up to Pinch hit

Pods is a mediocre at best defensive outfielder

I been saying this all year! He get the worst jump on balls!

I don't want to see this guy pitching at the Cell. He would be like Eric Milton there.

Haha. You guys are nuts. THat ball was crushed. He was playing shallow, which worked against Guillen and didn't work against Shelton.

 

That's either Bmacs or Ozzies fault.

He's a bad center fielder but  he's played left just fine imo, nothing spectacular but good enough.

exactly. you want everett in there for "the best lineup", something's gotta give.

believe it or not, the sox aren't the perfect team.

he hasn't played center all year, relax kid.

 

He's been an awful left fielder all year, deal with it.

 

How old are you to call me kid?
