6/7 Tigers @Boston

[Natick to NC]

Chip away cut it in half

[Natick to NC]

Blast here in where in this mutha

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For all the people saying it was a stupid decision, I didn't see any of you complaining about the move before the game. Hindsight is 20/20

 

Well, Jason, I did post before the game that BEEKS should be pitching for the Orioles or the Cardinals.

[OH FOY]

Lefties are turning on this guy.

[Natick to NC]

He was pitching well at Pawtucket, but now you see Triple AAA to the Majors.

 

It's a great point...But Why leave him in after the 3 spot ? he seems like a great kid .Im an asshat feel bad for him ...I'm sure he's pretty devastated .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nobody. Cora likes to rest guys.

 

4 days rest and a pitch count, and still these Nancy's need a rest. Anyone remember 4-man rotations and no pitch count?

[d-money]

Do not bring beeks back. This game’s still winnable.

[Station 13]

Boyd ain't stupid. He won't throw inside to righties.

[FredLynn]

I think Beeks should be kept in Boston to pitch batting practice to the team.

[Maxbialystock]

I think we have to assume that the 7 run rule will be in effect with respect to Beeks even though I'm pretty sure Cora has not let any starter get that far.

[a700hitter]

Are the announcers mentioning that the Tiger hitters are fighting with each other to get to the bat rack?

[fxkatt]

Nobody. Cora likes to rest guys.

 

I was under the impression that starters got 4 days off between starts.

I am not surprised Beeks is still out there. If you are going to bring him up for a spot start you have to give him a chance to calm down. His pitches are likely not doing anything because he is a nervous wreck. I am sure he has talent or he would not be here. At least give him a chance to calm down. If he is still giving up hits, get him outta' there.

[a700hitter]

It is hard to judge Swihart behind the plate tonight since he isn’t catching many pitches. They are hitting almost everything.

[OH FOY]

DP right here.

[Maxbialystock]

Finally, finally a curve for a strike. Got the K because it was totally unexpected.

Remember Bobby Sprowl.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Billy Rohr had a pretty impressive debut for the SOX a long, long time ago.

[OH FOY]

Nice Raffy.

There was an off day on monday.

[OH FOY]

Elston Howard broke it, later Traded to us.

[a700hitter]

Finally, a big play by Devers on a ball down the line. LOL! That was scorched. LOL

[jung]

Remember Bobby Sprowl.

 

He surely could be another Sprowl. We will light a candle for him and hope he can actually pitch.

 

Funny how much Sprowl looked the part didn't he?

[jung]

Come on kid...get outta' this

[Maxbialystock]

Now lots of curve balls and so far none hit hard. Talk about closing the barn door after five horses escape. My opinion, which ain't worth much, is that the game plan stunk.

[OH FOY]

I'm sorry not impressed with Beeks. Thought he had more than this.

[jung]

Had victor frozen if he could have gotten that over the plate.

[bmattioli]

Nobody up in the pen?? A give away game not something a hungry team does..

[Maxbialystock]

He does have a change, but doesn't throw it often and rarely for strikes. If he can't throw a good change, he's just another Pom with a better fast ball.

 

60 pitches and still not out of the 2d inning, now bases loaded.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The big difference between good hitters and average hitters is that good hitters will foul off tough pitches.
