Chalk this up to management again, Webb is fresh and Jake is tired. Jake pitched.

 

I don't. Can't win when you don't score. It was a toss up on rather to walk Cabrera or not.. Don't think RV did anything wrong tonight unless he is the one that gave the game plan to the hitters.

Watch Nathan have a clean inning.

He will

Yeah, it's not the easiest call in the world to walk Cabrera, I fully understand that. Like you said, this is on the offense tonight.

I would've pitched to Cabrera there, that's not what I said. I said we had the wrong reliever in, today was a Webb day.

And Cabrera didn't exactly smoke the ball. It was an infield hit.

.134 average RHB vs. Petricka coming into today's game and Victor Martinez on deck.

I love VM but he is not in MC league. If Sox do not score a run it is moot anyway.

When has he pitched Webb in a 1 run ball game with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the best hitter in the world up? Come on, Webb has not been in big spots like that and there was no reason to go to him with Petricka having a good BAA against righties.

 

2 for 23 with 15 strikeouts this month for Flowers

I know they were talking about Rodon at the break, but could not hear the details. Any breaking news?

Hawk and Stone in full defense mod for RV pitching to Miggy, they know fans are not happy with him.

Well, I will say this. I love the Hawk, I think he's a very smart and sound baseball man based on his many years in this game. But in this instance, he cannot have it both ways, IMO. He can't continue saying Cabrera is one of the best hitters of all time, and then turn around and justify not putting him on first base in that situation. I don't care who's hitting behind him.

Would have been out if Alexei was playing more towards the middle

Webb has good numbers as well. He should be given a chance to be in big spots.

Well put and you are correct sir. Hawk has praised MC more than any other player against Sox not to let him beat you no matter what.

Gordon with a double. Gotta drive him in.

just that we're optimistic

Well he hasn't given him that chance so why do it now? Doesn't make any sense to just throw him out there just because..

I'd be for Scherzer trying to finish this game, and have all kinds of bad things happen in the 9th.

Sure would be nice to develop a catcher who doesn't suck.

Why not walk Miggy I do not understand RV?

Martinez on deck.

let's go tigers chant...

Conor 0-4

0 clutch hits tonight..

 

Like I said earlier, seems like this team is happy with just winning series.. Have to want more.

Conor 0-4

 

It'll be interesting to see his slash line after 100 games played.

He will start the 9th that is for sure. I should of known when Eaton swung at first pitch this was a bad night.

He gives him a chance now because Webb has done a great job for us this year and he deserves a shot in a big situation because of his performance (aside from walks, but Petricka has plenty of those as well)
