I'll take that start. If he's this years Hector Santiago I'm cool with it.....Perhaps pitching him behind Sale is a good idea with the thought that a lot of the bullpen gets the day off the day before.

Had to go to a meeting...after the inning where Paulino was walking everyone, how has he looked?

 

Frustratingly dicking around the strike zone racking up his pitch count. But his stuff has looked good and one of those runs in unearned. He's finished strong and doesn't look too bad. I mean can't be too upset with one ER in 5 innings, of course you would hope he could go deeper. Had a hard hit ball in the first that could go out on some days.

That's the idea. Our top 3 starters are Sale, Q, and Danks. But Robin spread them out so the bullpen can have some rest in case Johnson and Paulino both have short outings on back to back days.

Keep in mind he is facing one of the worst teams in baseball in very ideal pitching conditions. He was a good bet to put up decent numbers if he kept his walks down.

Eaton sure loves hitting a lot of ground balls.

Joe Nathan is getting pretty close to a blown save

He didn't want to stack 3 leftys b2b2b.

Anyone warming in the pen for the Sox?

If that's really the case, then he could have just went Sale, Quintana, Johnson/Paulino, Danks, Johnson/Paulino.

Downs was last inning and now Cleto

Surprised to see Paulino back out there starting the inning with 98 pitches when his control hasn't been sharp all game.

Paulino's still out there.

Ok I think we are leaving him in a little too long at this point.

I actually have no problem with this. With his "missing lots of time" last year...if we can get him stretched out early in the season, by finding his pitch limit and slowly pushing it upwards, we might be able to build his arm more.

Can we please figure out how to pitch to Suzuki? He's a career .250 hitter. Other teams aren't getting burned by him like we are.

Bases loaded in Detroit...top of the 9th

What the hell Flowers

Flowers just brutal.

come on tyler, gotta stop that.

"Oh boy" I'm with you there Hawk

He did that backhand s*** last year too.

Hard to believe Flowers is one of 30 starting catchers in baseball.

C'mon KC!

C'mon KC!

 

Well they tied it atleast

Flowers just brutal.

 

I was sure after last season he was done with this organization. I know many of us were annoyed when they kept him around.
