It just baffles me how little enthusiasm and energy they have out there.

 

That's the only thing Ozzie is good for, and the team doesn't even care now. What good is Ozzie as a manager now other than the fact a pitching staff carried him last year?

The exciting news is that Buehrle might see his ERA go over 5 after today.

Atleast we'll have the benefit of hearing members cite this poor umpire, and how the missed strike call threw his rhythm off.

 

I'm becoming VERY irritated with watching Buehrle. I may criticize Broadway, but I guarantee he can give us an ERA bordering around 5 for 10 million less. He continues pitching poorly, I sincerely hope next season is his last with this ballclub.

What I don't get now is why MB doesn't adjust and start throwing inside where he might get the call. Outside isn't working.

 

Because you can't throw inside at 85, as Freddy has found out this year. The ball is going to be hit very far if you do.

He makes interesting Spanish programs on Comcast.

Good grief, stop trying to pull that same f***ing pitch!

Rogers does not really come inside all that often yet we still try and pull him. Awesome.

Isn't Buehrle's option after this year a team one? Damn I'd just as soon let him go at this point and use the green on somebody else.

Listen, I love Gooch, but that AB was a joke, it's mind boggling how bad their approach has been lately

Buehrle at least cuts his fastball, so he might be able to jam a hitter with his fastball.

And that's why we are the only team that can't hit him right now.

Same with Mark Buehrle.

 

he doesn't warrant enough thought to even care how I spell his name right now. He is figured out.

4-1 O's

Anyone else wondering if this run of bad play might just continue til the end of the season?

But MB still has an off speed pitch, unlike Garcia. And MB used to work inside quite a bit when he was good, but that was a long time ago.

So how much longer do we wait for Buehrle to turn this around before accepting him as the pitcher he's been over the last 2 months?

 

I'm just curious what people think. I've been confident he would return to form but now I'm not so sure.

DJ is right this ump is completely in this teams head.

 

He f***ing blows, but you can't let it get to you.

I just assume it will. I haven't seen anything to make me feel otherwise.

Thome NOT HUSTLING!!!

It's lasted the entire 2nd half of the season...and this starting pitching is showing signs of getting worse, not better.

Singleton just said Iassogna (sp?) threw him out of a game in the minors.

I guess many of you havent figureed it out yet. This isnt our year. Its not meant to happen. Every break, every call, every borderline pitch goes the other way. We get hit, we dont hit, its just not meant to be. Maybe we will barely make the playoffs, but we wont do s*** if we do. This season is lost.

And we all know how insane, high tempered, and hot headed Chris Singleton is.

tigers tv. hilarious. talkin to maroth and stuff. I'm pretty sure they aren't worried about this game.

I honestly hope we just let him go after this year. Those 10 million plus could be much better spent than picking up his option.

 

Oh, and I'm shocked to see Thome make an out on a 3-2 low changeup. That hasn't happened much lately to our hitters.

 

Another great inning boys, at least we can't be no hit.

You mean less than a year ago? I guess thats a long time huh?
