Yes, that's good, but he can't strike anyone out anymore it looks like. Only 12 K's in over 50 innings of pitching. He's never been a big K guy, but that is pitiful. He's on pace for about 50 for the season.

 

Well, I've been told by people on here that Jenks' strikeout total doesn't matter, so I guess Garland's doesn't either. He is what he is...a solid #3 AL starter. We should have gotten more for him that a one-year rental.

I already see it as a for-gone conclusion that Thome will be back with us next season... however, I hope next year we have Quentin in the 3-hole, with Thome in the 5 hole (with some righty on the bench who kills lefties to platoon with him).

 

Thome was valuable to this team the past two years because he crushed righty pitching. Now, he's really struggling with them as they get that slider in on his hands.

Garland is a rental as well, who complained for the last 2 years about a knot in his shoulder.

I agree completely. But the Garland for Cabrera swap has been more stomach-able due to the fact Garland (yet) hasn't really lit the world on fire.

Whats Garland????

 

A starting pitcher...we've gone over this a million times it seems. I think we all expected more in return for Garland.

Give us a chance here Wassermann.

Terrible by Swisher. We're really a better team without him right now.

Nick needs to catch that. Took a bad route.

I really don't like Swisher right now.

I always thought he was a crappy player with the A's, as he had a huge hole in his swing. It seems like all you have to do is put a little movement on the pitch, and he'll miss. His defense the last 10 games has been mind-blowingly bad.

wasserman needs to go back to the scrap heap.

is the game over already? If so, mlb.com gameday is extremely slow.

For all intensive purposes.

pop-up number 86 for the season by AJP.

Swishers offense is all messed up. Maybe Dye should of pinch hit for him.

 

 

Home ump wants to go home with that strike 2 call to Nick. Oh well, didn't deserve to win it anyway.

Fitting end...bad loss, a game we could have won.

at least one of konerko, swisher, and thome should be on the bench every game

Its time to bench Swish for a few games for him to get his swing, and his head in the game. I would rather have Anderson and his defense out there right now.

people called me an idiot earlier for hating the Swisher trade earlier in the season.... well, while it might eventually turn out I'm an idiot, I am smart right now...

So what do you guys think is wrong with Swisher?

maybe he has the same thing konerko and thome got?

Well they are exploiting him low and away like the usual whitesox hitter. He looks like he is guessing up there as well. And he is trying to pull everything.

He's starting his approach towards the pitcher WAY too early. How many broken bats must he have before they change his timing mechanism.

He is a vet, he can fix himself. Isn't that what we hear.
