JV is struggling, although he has never been a great cold weather pitcher, but we're not putting up much of a threat as indicated by our donut up on the board. Time for a late-inning rally.
He didn't do great today but 3 runs over 7 innings isn't too bad either. CC has totally shut down the Tigers offense today though.
Unfortunately, the way Baseball is set up you have to be a good/great Cold Weather pitcher as well, seeing the Playoffs and World Series is always played in COLD weather, if the Tigers are in it.
Hit parade at Comerica Park this afternoon. Hopefully out bats don't fall silient tomorrow like they did against Sabathia.
Crap! Tigers trailing the Jays in the late-innings. Porcello and our bullpen have been serving up meatballs.
Porcello pitched well, till the 6th.
The Bull Pen, thats a good name for it, STINKS ....
Yeah. From the radio broadcast it sounded like Porcello was doing pretty well but Villerreal came in and walked 3 straight. One of those walks knocked in a run. Then Dotel came in and gave up a base clearing double to give up the lead. Vilareal has been terrible so far this year. I think he will be sent down after this performance.
If that happens, it will make room for someone else coming up, wonder who that might be ?
So far they need to replace the whole BP except for Benoit, the pens been terrible.
Smyly too, but I don't count him as a pen guy.
Downs had been doing well till today.
Yeah, I have no idea who they would bring up. I just know that in Villarreal needs to go work some stuff out before he can get in a real game again. He can't throw a strike to save his life. He has pitched 1.1 innings so far this year with 5 hits, 5 walks, 8 earned runs and a whopping 54.00 ERA. I really hope he can get it together because he has a great arm and a nasty slider. He clearly isn't ready right now though.
Where has Al Al been of late ?
What good is it to have Smyly in the pen if you can only use him once a week ?
Wondering if. ...
The signing of Valverde by the Tigers is so that they can Trade him for another reliever ?
