Tigers @ New York April 28th

A lefty with a full bag of trick and good control. Whats not to like.

Bet the Yankee fans are envious right now, they have shit for pitching in their farm I guess.

The Yankees organization has never, in my lifetime, learned how to cultivate a pitching staff.

Rod or Craig for hitting coach? They seem to spot flaws sooner than Lloyd?

up by 5 and trying to sac bunt? go fuck yourself, leyland.

Wasted 2 strikes trying to bunt...WTF Ramon, I thought he could actually get a sac bunt down once upon a time...

Right. The real outcome was far more helpful. With Ramon at the plate, you leverage the opportunity to move a runner efficiently. Runner at second with Jackson is a good thing these days.

sac bunting is stupid regardless of the situation or the outcome of santiago's ab.

Still no point in giving up free outs.

1 hit in 5 innings with the top of the order due up and Smokes wants to give them a free out...it's mind boggling.

 

[spockmaster]

glad to see our offense has gone back to sleep now that garcia is out of the game.

and this is how i feel about Smyly's start:

we needed it badly.

 

[Thumb]

Man, I hope Smyly does not get into a jam here.

I would have let the kid leave on a high note. Coke and Dotel are ready.

And...A-shithead gets the second hit of the day.

Nice job young man... Now we sweat it up.. Bullpen time.

If there was 2 or 3 more milimeters to the bottom of that photo you could see the top of Dr. Crushers head.

Awesome job Phil!

Erased the Kids runner!

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice scoop!!!!!

 

[biggunsbob]

Yipes.... Bullpen at it again... double play sure helps

 

[tigermud]

At least it was just a solo

 

[Thumb]

Eh, sucks but I can't bring myself to be upset at a Curtis HR.

It's a point of contention. Not necessarily "stupid." I'll give Jimmy the benefit of the doubt given that Ramon is hitting like a pitcher these days.

 

[tigermud]

Dotel for the 8th not Benoit please. unless we score a couple more here first. TIA

I could see it if Jhonny was on second and you;re trying to bunt him over to 3rd with 0 outs...

But first to second with 0 outs does not gain you anything.
