Struggling Francouer, Lefty Moustakas, Switch Pena

 

Ventura will DEFINITELY be tempted, since he's put down 10 in a row.

With no offday in here, expanded bullpen, and Detroit coming to town...I definitely stop Sale here...but that's just not how Ventura's handled him this year.

Well, that's ONE way to solve the hitting with RISP issues.

 

Just hit homers at USCF.

 

 

AJ just missed a double there...close to a homer.

Dang you Francour.

A.J. just missed it.

Tonight sets up as a HUGE game in that Angels/Tigers series.

 

CJ Wilson vs. Verlander, and then Greinke Sunday, who has been about as hot as any pitcher in baseball the last 4 or so starts.

 

Angels win tonight, the sweep definitely happens with how the Angels have been playing the last 10+ days.

 

 

 

Flowers now with 9 walks, 49 K's.

There is no such thing as "Definitely" in baseball.

Crain in! Good call Robin, even if it winds up not working.

I think the PK HR prompted this move.

Francouer owns Crain.

He didn't own Crain that time.

 

You have to wonder why we throw Francouer so many fastballs in pitcher's counts. Throw him junk, he will swing at it once you get ahead.

Crain's stuff is looking great today too. Encouraging. *no jinx*

Crain's stuff looks good today

Since when has Crain thrown this particular type of curve? I like it.

Crain's got the big breaking curve today.

He's had it for a while. I don't think he's thrown it as much this year due to the injury.

 

I remember Crain used to throw a ton of sliders. I think he really changed his approach in his last year with the Twins.

Wow, great inning for Crain

Filthy...Its because I called for him to share closer duties

 

Id be down to scratch the "share" part too

He should stay out there for the 8th.

There were times when he was untouchable against the Sox by throwing that slider in the dirt.

The rumors of Sale and Crain's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Was Crain ever a starter in the minors? He throws 3+ pitches.

He should stay out there for the 8th.

definitely not. need him for tomorrow and the Tigers series

I like D. Wise

Mazzaro throwing pretty much all fastballs with no idea where they're going.

 

Thus, the 6+ ERA.

Lets make this an Omogrosso game
