A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

cruz back on the PEDs?

Miggy's 0-2. He must be drunk again.

Miggy's 0-2. He must be drunk again.

Yost is on crack. Guthrie over Duffy in the rotation.

 

[broncosmitty]

SOOOOOOOOO typical. 14-pitch AB for Kinsler, followed by a 1-pitch AB for Hunter.

Got up there hacking with the bases loaded after Kinsler drew a walk. Tillman might have thrown him one strike. Maybe. But he was swingin'. Torii don't care. Hard, early and often, he's swingin.

Then the ump screws him in last AB...first three pitches all same location. Gives that strike to O'day and changes everything.

Hunter needs no help from umps for sure. He gets enough strikes on his own.

don't be cryin Umps already, Torii looked like Sal perez, lol...just a swangin'

 

[broncosmitty]

Never should be pitching to Cruz with a base open. Insurance on their insurance run.

Joba gives up two grounders and gets the hook.

 

[da55bums]

Ausmus and Yost both don't know how to manage a bullpen....should both take lessons from Buck

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Ausmus doesn't even have a bullpen to manage lol

 

[da55bums]

He should bring in Sanchez 1st, every game.....can't believe I got to see Coke in the 1st game already.

 

[broncosmitty]

Sad, but true.

Joba gave up two grounders, not sure if he just wanted to give Soria work or what. But Soria got hit hard. And Coke is freaking awful.

 

[broncosmitty]

I don't want to see him come in with guys on base though. That's not what he does.

 

[da55bums]

who would you rather see, lol...with that bullpen, I would love to see Sanchez every time, he is a veteran and a great pitcher, he would figure it out.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Problem with Sanchez is hes coming off injury, hasn't worked much and use to starting.

Then again, you can't get worse than Coke though holy hell

 

[gandydancer]

You paid attention all season? I have never made one excuse Bums. My remark was that Torii needs no help striking out. Ump actually was all over place on both sides...

 

[da55bums]

JV going tomorrow against a team not named the A's, Sanchez better be ready.

If its the 8th, Joba. Always.

Early on Id use Sanchez to start an inning. But he's behind Joba, Soria and Nathan and not ahead of Lobstein really when it comes to pecking order. He's pitched an inning in the last two months and he's not a reliever.

If there's a runner on and I have to use a starter in relief, I bring in Ricky. If we're getting the shit kicked out of us and I need to bring in a guy who I'll leave out there no matter what, I bring in Phil.

 

[gandydancer]

Can we send Coke to the same Island Rudolph resides on?

 

[bksballer89]

What a collapse in the 8th....O's did this a few times to the Yanks in Baltimore also.

It would be a tight game through 6 and they just hit with a huge inning in the 7th or 8th to seal the deal.

Your nuts, seen Pedro and Randy Johnson and many veteran SP's (not rookies like Ventura) come in and save critical games for teams. I would be ticked if Duffy doesn't come in over guys like Liam, Collins, or any average RP. You want guys with STUFF when it counts.
