Seriously though.....about 4 batters ago would be a great time to change pitchers....

 

You know Ozzie always tries to get the starter past the 5th to try and get them a win. Jose has just become a huge question mark for the 2nd half, IMO.

For the people wanting Aaronn in a high leverage situation, here it sort of is.

 

wow you would have pulled him after giving a 1 out single to Jones in a 1-1 game in the 5th? Ozzie must not have your magic ball

Please dont fail Poreda. You wont pitch again until August.

The gift that has never given, Nick Swisher, just botched a liner and Tigers are about to take the lead.

Its a real simple formula for the Count. The minute you see him dropping down constantly, its going to be a mess. The minute you seem him coming over the top, and driving towards the plate. He looks good.

For me, this is the worst type of situation for Poreda. We all know his control is pretty awful so far. We can't let Baltimore blow this open.

bailed out 3-1

Ugh, he's so terrible! I hope with each passing day he's traded. I'd rather see Gobble face a LHP any day compared to Poreda. Oh, and why is he still in the game?

God, i hate this.

Good start so far...

I know some will say Guillen shouldn't have brought him into this situation, but Poreda was nowhere near the zone that AB. He's not helping himself out. Every pitching opportunity has to be taken advantage of.

It's like Ozzie is using this opportunity to prove his point he made yesterday.

The next time Poreda throws in the high 90s will be the first time. I have no idea how he was ever clocked that high.

This is impressively bad from Poreda. Ozzie is going to demand he gets dealt now.

great walk there Poreda...

Quite simply, he's just awful right now. His stuff blows, and he has no control at all.

Poreda has to get in the rotation. We'd see Carassco in the 2nd inning.

Terrible.

 

You only did this to yourself, Poreda.

Why in the f*** did Ozzie leave him in to face Reimold? Poreda needs to be on a plane back to Charlotte TONIGHT!

Um....wow...

Aaron really helping his cause........

 

I don't blame Ozzie, Poreda is nothing like what he was billed as.

Well maybe if Ozzie didn't bash him earlier, the kid would have more confidence in himself. That's what pisses me off about Ozzie, he criticizes his own players to the media way too much. There is no need for that type of stuff.

It's like Ozzie is using this opportunity to prove his point he made yesterday.

 

Bingo.

Wow, Poreda just sealed his fate for another month.

You guys still want him to start?
