Cabrera leaving?

 

Yep, he's the PTBNL in the Garza deal

Cabrera leaves due to Fatness in left leg

I meant from the game. Obviously he's not being moved.

I know, just playing off today's theme. Stoney was suggesting it's in the area that leads to a sports hernia.

“@scottmerkin: Cabrera looked to be walking very gingerly to the dugout after scoring on Martinez's single”

Brewers, Astros and Marlins all currently leading.....yaaaay!

Nice Tank!

Nice Tank!

Nice to see the opposite field power.

Phegley with an awesome AB

Nice piece of hitting by Phegley

Phegs!

It'd be nice to see Phegley be our first homegrown prospect (who was actually developed) since, what, Joe Crede?

He's got a ton of swagger right now. Very energetic out there

It'd be so incredibly huge for him to take this job and run with it.....hopefully in a couple of years we see him catching Carlos Rodon on our way back to a division title.

Ok, coming up to 100 pitches, take out Sale

ptatc suggested that league protocol is to work elite starters up to 120 pitches. Current research suggests that up to 120 mark isn't a big problem.

20-1 against the Sox getting Rodon and becoming a ML starter.

Seems like Sale gives up an opposite field home run every start now

Tigers game plan this year has been to look away. Sale's stuff has been great the last month or so but the results haven't been as good as they were earlier in the year.

Sore hip flexor for Miggy.

As someone that's seen a large majority of Konerko's at bats with the Sox, I'll never understand why he changed his swing so much last year around the ASB. It seems like he tries to flip everything to right field, and cuts off his swing so drastically now.

Down 4-1 in the 8th, of course Sale starts the inning at 106 pitches

Too bad we can trade posters who are still complaining about losses for some prospect posters.

Does Sale get away from his fastball too much?

Honestly, he was doing a lot of those swings even during the hot streak - we didn't notice how little power he had while he was batting .400, but now that he's back down to earth it doesn't look pretty. He used to use that kind of cut occasionally, maybe against a tough pitcher or to break out of a slump, but we haven't seen him look hitterish in a long time now.
