Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) That's considered a "high end arm" these days? Seriously, what better pitcher is available this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote was that they are seeking high end arms. Derek Lowe at this stage doesn't equal "high end arm" IMO. And yes, he's probably the best they could do.

Soxfest Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) OG in Trib feels no pressure on job status.  "Pressure about what, getting fired?" Guillen replied. "I don’t give a (bleep) if I get fired. I’m the only manager in baseball who (bleeping) don’t care about getting fired. I don’t at all. If I get fired, it’s (because) I don't do the job, I don’t know where or why or what I do, but no. I should get fired. Look at the team they give me, and we not playing well. I will take that. I think people think I no do a good job with this ballclub, I don't mind."   Sox wonder why fan apathy and crowds are so bad.

caulfield12 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Verlander hasn't been touched up his last 7 starts in a row against us. Â We used to, maybe not quite own him, but we really lit him up in the first 3-4 years of his career. Â Â Only 6 ER in last 72+ innings. 9 consecutive starts with 2 runs or less given up. One of the best streaks (other than Hershiser or Pedro) from a pitcher since the 1960's. Edited July 15, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I don't think a no-hitter against us gets us any closer to changes. Â It's going to take our usual 3-5 mental errors per game over the final 2 1/2 weeks of July. Â Â In all fairness, the shadows are really playing tricks with hitters and will continue to do so for the first 2-3 innings.

Great fire his butt   I think he actually wants to get fired. As long as he doesn't quit, he's covered. It's just sad that KW won't call him on it. Makes the whole organization look foolish, chaotic, and to quote the thread title, in disarray.  Too bad I can't hear Hawk sighing after that leadoff walk. Uh-oh.

caulfield12 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) It's not WHAT he says, it's the cavalier way in which he says it. Â Great job by Floyd. Although I think once the 3rd inning starts, the hitters will be back to normal with the shadows receding. Â Normally, he's either lights out...no hitter type stuff or he gets ripped to shreds by the Tigers. No very much in-between. Â Â Â Tigers have won 11 of their last 12 against us. Didn't realize it was that bad. Their announcers credit us giving up Thome to the Twins for the turnaround. That's one move that hasn't gotten much play around here in terms of KW criticism. Â Two strikes on Dunn before he's even in the batter's box. Edited July 15, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
