Dontrelle Willis is not a good starting pitcher.

 

Yes, yes he is. And unlike Buehrle, even when he's hitting not hitting locations, he could actually still get outs. Buehrle's just providing more evidence on why Strikeout pitchers > Location Pitchers.

Again, this could be a blessing in disguise. I would love to see KW panic and make a blockbuster move to spark this team. Outside of Thome, Dye, Konerko, Jenks, Contreras, and Crede, there's not a single player that "can't" be traded.

BTW, forget getting bullpen help WTF is the point if 3 of your 5 starters get nailed every time.

Buehrle, if you think you're going to earn a 4 year, 48-56 million dollar contract you can forget about it.

 

I'm SICK of watching this. Soft-tossing pitchers without control can't exist.

 

And to think, we're drafting people who draw comparisons to him! That's crazy.

 

Our minor leagues needs to begin producing legitimate talent, because I'd rather take chances with an emerging talent than paying him a ridiculous contract.

 

PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see no reason to trade AJ either

Thsi swear filtering is really annoying and kinda silly

 

I personally think it's really bringing this board down. However, I respect the mods/admins enough to trust their decisions.

Sorry, I should have listed him also.

Dropping fast behind the division leader and behind wildcard contenders is not a blessing.

Ya I figured that was the case. No biggie. And I tottally agree with the basic point of your post.

 

I don't see anyway he stands by idly and lets this spiff go on.

Why is he a good starting pitcher? Past years? If so, why is Buehrle a bad starting pitcher? He's been successful in the past, and is one of the better lefties on the league. He's having a bad year, that doesn't mean he sucks and should be traded.

Have you checked his stats/watched him pitch at all this year? He has a near 4 ERA, 1.42 WHIP 86K/44BB (horrible) and .282 BAA.

 

WTF is good about that? He's doing all that in a giant pitchers park. He is not good.

For everyone complaining about our 1-2 hitters....the Twins guys currently have a 15 and 14 game hitting streak.

Of course it's not, but at least it's happening now instead of August 5th.

Back to back homers by the Rangers, we have pitching problems right now, big time!

 

The look of things right now is making me sick.

 

 

Man we stink right now. THis is depressing.

This is shaping up to be another absolutely terrible day of baseball. Hopefully the Yankees end up losing.

i was really hoping everyone who was negative two weeks ago were going to have to eat their words.

Pretty soon, KW is gonna have to figure out trades to make to

compete solely for wild card.

Detroit is close to running away with it.

Why does this have to become nothing but a swear fest? Just asking.

 

My baseball post is, I was watching MB, and as soon as someone got on base, he started steering his pitches, and that was it. Before that, he was fine. A location guy can't steer the ball, or the results we just saw start to happen. MB has been doing it for a month now and it makes me wonder if he's gassed.

I feel sorry for Thome. Unless we get our act together

starting pitching wise, he won't be playing in postseason again.

Wow... without Buehrle we can forget about our chances...

To be honest, I'm much more concerned with the Twins and Yankees than I am the Tigers. If the Tigers continue to play solid ball the rest of the way, they're going to be one of the four playoff teams. The Twins are playing scary good right now.

Excellent job running Pods

Talk about a downer, I think we all completely understand you don't like Podsednik. Annoying is as annoying does. Personally I think the swear filter is serving a purpose, it is clearly showing how much swearing goes on around here. And believe me I'm not anti-swearing. But it's fascinating to see how much swearing actually goes on and it's too much. IMO.

Oops. I forgot about the Twins. They seem to be clones of the Tigers

now in winning every night.

No, it has nothing to do with swearing. My comment was in regards to people continuing to type "spiff" or "fish".
