Why not talk to Verlander when the Tigers bat?

Got to have Rios avoid the DP here. Heck, I'd rather he bunt

Quentin now 5/7 after the Break, back up to 873 OPS.

 

That's a ton of hitter for the Braves, Giants or Phillies.

 

Thanks Rios. Please put yourself on the PUP list.

 

 

BTW, wonder if the DBacks would like to undo that Joe Saunders for Haren deal?

Come on Rios...just retire or something

Rios hitting behind TCQ right now I'd a f'n disgrace

Move AJ UP FOR GODS SAKE.

How do you spell LOST? R-I-O-S

Juan Pierre, 648 OPS

Alex Rios, 560 OPS

 

Just wow. Hard to imagine that even Brian Anderson could be doing much worse than that. Heck, Kotsay/Erstad/Mackowiak would be beating it.

 

He's on a pace for 30-35 RBI's. How is that even possible hitting where he does in the line-up?

They did great a top prospect in Skaggs out of it.

Plain and simple, a change has to be made. You can't keep getting such little production from him.

God I miss Brian Anderson, and his sexy golden locks

 

I'd take him in a heartbeat over Rios.

Very interesting that Allen says "Ozzie going to the Marlins after this season is the worst kept secret in baseball".

Even Aaron Rowand has a 646 OPS.

 

Funny that Juan Pierre is now beating him in this category, too.

 

 

Love DJ describing Victor Martinez as an "average" catcher. Not quite!

Any SoxTalker could beat him at this point.

Alex Rios is the worst hitter in the MLB (and this isn't hyperbole) [and that rhymed].

2-3 years ago, it looked like Peralta's major league career was nearly over. Horrible defense and not enough power, too many K's with the Indians.

 

Good thing there are 2 outs. Why is Peralta not at third? Peralta just jogged to 2B.

 

 

Jackson's taking a page from the Verlander book. Getting beat on change-ups and sliders but really popping the fastball now, got up to 97.

If he gets that ERA back under 4.00, his value goes up quite a bit psychologically...especially if you look at his other peripherals.

Looks like he is swinging a wet newspaper. Even his hits are soft/weak liners.

EJ rolling on.

I've predicted he won't be in the majors by the end of next season.

Seriously, why is Rios still on this team? Just f***ing DFA him. Are we proud to be sporting The Worst Hitter in the League? Is this some kind of crowning achievement for KW and OG?

Way too much money to pay him to go away.

Because we'd be wasting $43 million dollars, and JR/KW will never admit defeat on that big a contract.

 

They definitely should try ANYTHING different. Lillibridge against lefties, DeAza/Milledge/Danks, just DO something.

 

As long as that something's not overpaying for Beltran with Viciedo.

 

 

 

In retrospect, you can say that Ozzie deserves some credit for sticking by Pierre. But this thing with Rios is just illogical. And hitting Dunn 3rd/4th against LHP.

Teahen whining that he's not getting enough bats

Stay hot Juan!

Watching Cabrera's fat ass flop on the infield was priceless.
