A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[da55bums]

With a pen that has Frasor, Herrera, and Bueno available as well. Just inexplicable.

nailed it, as much as he likes to tinker with everything, he decides not to tinker when its needed? Was Yost let go in Aug or Sept with the Brewers?..wonder what the "players only" meeting was about?


oh well, still in 1st.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And two runs in an inning. Any other game thats a BS. It was a bad outing.

Doesn't matter the way you made it sound was that he completely fell apart when in fact he didn't.

He threw a cookie to one guy like you are supposed with a cusion. Buckled down when tying run came up.

1 hit isn't a "what happened with holland" comment worthy. And sure as shit wasn't Nathan caliber.

 

[gvsulaker82]

oh I grt it.you must count the series before it to. better send baseball ref.com a email and tell them they are wrong also.


chalk up a L for Felix

You mean the same team at a different venue? They split a four game home and home series against the pirates. They have been playing this series against the pirates for several years now. You are an embarrassment to tigers fans. Bragging about a two game sweep which didnt happen, talking about how great JV is when he isnt, and btw felix hernandez's ERA is more than a point lower than prices. Price is a stud no question, but felix is by far currently much better. You should try being objective once.

1 hit isn't a "way happened with holland" comment worthy. And sure as shit wasn't Nathan caliber.

Alright dude, he allowed two runs. One hard hit and a walk is definitely worthy of a what happened to holland comment when the royals were carrying a 3 run lead. He did not do well, thank god that it was a three run save. Are you being serious? Yeah, it definitely reminds this tigers fan of a nathan outing, although nathan would have blown it completely. In what world do we as baseball fans live in that two earned runs in an inning is acceptable? Oh, you are a twins fan, maybe thats acceptable to you, lol.

Especially since they could need ventura for an extended season.

In what world do we as baseball fans live in that two earned runs in an inning is acceptable? Im done.

It was 1 earned run. So start with getting facts right first.

I never said it was "acceptable" your initial comment made it sound like the guy struggled mightily and fell apart. I mentioned how it wasn't as bad as 2 runs would show.

I actually watched the game as a TWINS fan. He completely locked in after ONE hit.

Sorry you don't take kindly to someone giving an actual objective view on how a guy performed.

For hopefully the last time. Was holland at his best? No. Was he bad enough anyone who actually bothered watching would say "what the hell is wrong with Greg today"? NO.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And then you throw in the twins fan thing to try and support sounding like an idiot.

You are a tigers fan, as Doug proves the idiot rubs off nicely(sorry cleaves lol)

 

[Fountain City Blues]

One of those days that makes you wonder what could have been had the Royals scored guys from 3rd with less than two outs so they didn't have to use Herrera, Davis, and Holland yesterday. That's baseball though I guess. Still most displeased with the manager.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Terrific outing by D Price. Let's hope the bullpen don't fuck it up.

 

[gandydancer]

Wasnt a sweep, they split a home and home series with the pirates.

Use to have a lot of home and home series. Don't see them much any more. At least you understand me about it being called a series

 

[gandydancer]

savin some pitches on Duffy, rested pen, he was getting a little freaky that last inning, why not?


King Felix against Forecloserville tomorrow, good time to rest.

How did that King do today?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!

 

[broncosmitty]

Terrific outing by D Price. Let's hope the bullpen don't fuck it up.

Suarez tried to help Old Joe blow it. Ninth inning isn't the best time to take a nap at short. (Vizquel needs to work on shift responsibilities. That's twice nobody has covered third.)

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Royals and Mariners rolling.

Sorry dougy.

 

[bksballer89]

If the Yanks win somehow they will still just be 3.5 out with the Stros & White sox coming to the stadium this week

 

[gandydancer]

Not sure if it is haters for Doug or Tigers?

I love how people come out of hidding when Tigers flounder and then leave again as they rebound.

 

[gohusk]

Man, uninspired effort by the Tigers at the plate. They looked focused for game against Felix but the other two games it seemed like they were just going through the motions.

Doug pass the bottle over your way?

Sorry dougy.

Just glad the royal game got past 5 innings, let it pour now and call it day.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Looks like the A's don't look so dumb for trusting the data (Fip, xFIP, SIERA, etc) after all when it came to dumping Milone...


To be fair, a wet mound is particularly difficult for a finesse LHP to work with though.
