Cole Darvish
Liriano Perez
Burnett Garza

We need a win

So far Cole is looking good.

And on a comical note check the game notes for the Pirate/Ranger game on the ESPN box scores:
TIGERS THIRD BASEMAN MIGUEL CABRERA AND MANAGER JIM LEYLAND WERE EJECTED BY HOME PLATE UMPIRE BRIAN GORMAN IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST INNING FOR ARGUING A CHECK SWING CALL.

So happy this hell is finally over for all of us. 2013 proved to be the year. Never did I think it would go this long, and now that it is over it feels pretty damn good.

Couldn't have said it better. '92 will always haunt all of us and I just think of all the folks who never saw a winning season until today and the folks who aren't here to see them win again.

Only some of us are lucky to have been around for both...

Now lets see them go on to bigger and better thing!

Winning season!

What a start by Cole, out-dueling a Cy Young favorite, and what a clutch hit for Pedro to get us the only run we needed.

 

[Burgh Sports Rule]

Gerrit Cole pitched like an absolute Stud tonight! A game like tonight is why Cole was taken 1st overall in the draft! Hopefully many more to come.

This was a HUGE WIN & much needed!

Now, with this damn streak over with, hopefully we can focus on winning this division & the playoffs!

Let's Go Bucs!

Gitter done! The bats need to heat up in a hurry. We aren't gonna win many games down the stretch scoring 1 run like we did last night.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good inning there!

 

[Darkstone42]

Liriano had an awfully tight strike zone in that Gentry at bat... Got the out anyway.

 

[dare2be]

Just as I suggested, Grilli being used in the low pressure situations and setup role.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah they actually asked Hurdle about that last night on the MLB network. Basically he said they discussed going forward and that Grilli will be moved back to the closer role but so far his stuff just isn't there yet.

Keep piling 'em on!!!

 

[sychmd]

grilli was fading before the injury,
higher WHIP, more pitched for batter, losing velocity and more in 92-95 range. he wasnt gassing the 96-99 like last year or occasional at beginning of 13.

i was fearing his age and pressure were affecting him and glad to see the change happen. i hope he can return to form of the first 45 days, but doubt he ever will.

Giving Andrew a day off, lets win it anyway

Btw, thanks Cubs

 

[awaz]

aj strikes out 5 of the first 6. nice way to start things.

 

[evolver115]

Garza's digging himself an early grave today

 

[Darkstone42]

Burnett looks good today. And our offense is just finding ways to push runs across.

 

[Darkstone42]

What happened to AJ? I had to go to class and missed the runs.
