Oh, don't pretend that you haven't got a basic understanding of American phrases. Feel free to take a figure of speech literally, and have a cow while you're at it.

 

Have a cow? You're the one having a stroke anytime someone suggests that our pitching is underperforming. Think Kenny is pleased with what he's seen out there of late? Especially when you consider all the money invested in these guys.

Garland is due to pitch again a week from Tuesday and only threw 95 pitches the other night. I bet he is in the pen tomorrow and next Friday as well.

 

Send McCarthy to AAA for a week to make a start or two and get some work in.

 

Bring up a real good defensive outfielder or Tracey for the pen.

 

I repeat, Sean Tracey is likely not an option ever again for the White Sox. Just trust me on this....as long as Ozzie is our manager, we won't be seeing him.

This game is discouraging.

crede pisses me off when he swings like that. he did the same s*** yesterday when he hit into the dp.

I highly disagree.

We might have one less argument against Tiger fans pretty soon if we can't score more runs.

Thanks for your contributions to discussing actual baseball. I love people a decade younger than myself trying to talk like a smartass to me. I'm done with this conversation with you.

 

I'm sorry to see that you're not going to tell me where I can find a flying f***. I was quite interested, too, because someday I might want to give one, you know?

 

you are too young to try to be a smartass

 

I'm putting you on ignore now.

I think Ozzie and Co. are going to have to get mor agressive with pitchouts. I called one on 1-1 from my couch earlier. This is where we miss Jose Nossek greatly for his sign stealing

You have to take the good with the bad with his protect swing. His K numbers are way down, but he still makes it too easy to get him out on anything other than a fastball with 2 strikes. No real complaints from me about Crede's overall offensive game. I'd be thrilled if we traded Fields and McCarthy and Tracey for someone like Crawford.

 

I highly disagree.

 

Let me just say I have a lot more information than you do on this.

Oh, you mean the weak argument that all their pitchers are just gonna all of a sudden start to suck in August and September?

Neal is looking NAASTY.

It would be nice to play a decent team and have 5 runs scored enough to win.

"the asking price for pitching is too high" jeez it cant cost too much to get javy..

Let me just say I have a lot more information than you do on this.

Are you Ozzie's adopted son? Dude, you're Ozzie's adopted son!!! OMG!

 

I'm just messing. Please don't hate me.

Fixed

No, but that's a good one, too. I meant the argument that the Tigers can't beat good teams, when we've already dropped a series to the Blue Jays and are close to dropping one to the Red Sox.

I'm sure this has been echoed through today's thread, but I'd never thought our pitching staff could look as bad as they have the past few weeks minus some days.

Thru all of Garcia's garbage today, more frustrating was Riske's inning. 2 quick outs, 0-2 on the next guy than breaks down like that gives Boston the lead. Just total frustration.

Good managing having Garland throw and possibly get in the game, IMO.

"the asking price for pitching is too high" jeez it cant cost too much to get javy..

 

It sure cost us a lot to get him.

I'd be thrilled if we traded Fields and McCarthy and Tracey for someone like Crawford.

^^^^^^^^^^

wow imagine our lineup .....well back to reality, 6-5, we need to get this out and get some runs

Come on, peeps, Join the Ozzie Guillen for President club!

at least cotts is still pretty dependable

No, but that's a good one, too. I meant the argument that the Tigers can't beat good teams, when we've already dropped a series to the Blue Jays and are close to dropping one to the Red Sox.

 

I don't even pay attention to that crap. The Tigers have been the best team in baseball to this point. They're here to stay.

Folks, y'all wanna try to slow it down with some of the personal attack junk? Just let it slide, don't fill up 3 pages with it, someone will deal with it if things get bad.

It's amazing how much they resemble us from last season so far.

How has our pitching gotten so much worse in one offseason?

Come on! This is so f***ing frustrating.
