Caesar Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) At some point, you have to get outs from someone other than Crain and Myers. In other words, Thornton has to be used in this situation. Incorrect. We have Myers, Crain, Reed. More than most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) Monday morning QB? What are you talking about? Pretty much everyone on here prays they dont put Matt in. We don't need more than one set up man neither. Most teams have one. We have 2. Myers and Crain. Myers threw 3 pitches. Crain can't pitch every day. 3 innings a week tops if you want him to last he rest of the year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else, besides Myers are you going to turn to in the pen? Let's turn to the guy with the .354BAA and 7.15ERA in the second half for our important outs.

I agree he hasn't been good at all, but the guy gave up one hit. It's not the end of the world. He also got 2 outs. Cut him a little bit of slack. If not him, then who? I know I don;t wanna see guys like Jones or Septimo in that situation, so unless you want to go with Veal, you have no choice. He may not be ideal anymore, but he is the best we have.

southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 QUOTE (OldSmoky2 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) It is not worse than when Ozzie was here. Thornton gets paid well to pitch the 8th, mostly. On the other hand, I don't deny getting really jittery when Thornton comes in this year. Robin's probably thinking he'll need Myers tomorrow with Gavin pitching. Plus Myers pitched yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 @freeptigers: This adds to Tigers lead in unearned runs allowed. They've allowed league-high 58 unearned runs. White Sox have allowed league-low 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else ya got? You can;t use the same two relievers, both of whom are up there in age, every single game. We only play close games, at some point you stick him out there and say pull your weight and do your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
