Tigers vs. whitesox Game Thread Sept. 10

[tigermud]

The craptastic pitcher for the soxs made it 8 innings ! LOL. only the Tigers.

 

[manchild98]

Mudhen just missed a contract extension.

Doesn't excuse Porcello's pathetic stamina.

He consistently falls about after 75 pitches.

Opposing batters are hitting .352/.418/.504 off Porcello from pitches 76-100 this year.

His K/BB is only 1.33 as well.

Time to move on, if he hasn't built up the stamina to pitch effectively past 75 pitches by this point, there's no reason to think he will.

I could care less about his stamina... To discredit the error as the major reason Rick lost tonight in that inning is ridiculous...

Cabrera and Fielder the only guys without a hit so far.

Ajax and Raburn the only guys to be on base twice.

[tigermud]

he had nothing special thank the horrible Tigers O sux fans.

 

[lonesometiger]

Found it...
1998 Albert Belle had 48 for the Sox...

Baseball Reference.COM show AB hitting 49 in 1998.

Nope.

There's really no reason to think that Porcello doesn't get rocked tonight, even without the error.

All the error did was speed it up.

i'd like to think they due but...

Yup...You are right... sometimes 9's look like 8's without my glasses..

 

[manchild98]

3 for 20 with runners in scoring position on this current road trip.

Okay Slim, your turn.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nope.

Not sure that is a fair statement to make.. He was pitching well until that error.. he had Paul 0-2.... oh well.. he did not get out of the inning...

 

[manchild98]

They'll walk Prince and pitch to DY. Maybe he can clear the bases again.

 

[tigermud]

buncha teasers

 

[kalinecountry]

I would expect Porcello to be part of a deal probably at the winter meetings. Even if he does well from here on out, it was always going to be either him or Scherzer getting moved in the offseason, and it won;t be Scherzer now.

trade porcello and boesch to a west coast team, young is gone, let raburn and santiago go, get some faster two way players that have range and can field and have plate smarts that can take an outer half pitch to the opposite field instead of trying to pull everything,
get a new manager and coaching staff, Leyland looks like he's completely cooked. lamont, lloyd, and wimpy are useless as tits on a bull.

 

[biggunsbob]

Also failure to hit with the sacks full must have cost us a few games...

His fastball went from 94 to 91.

It was going to happen, regardless of whether Omar made the error or not.

Everybody hits Porcello after 75 pitches, the fact he gave up two HRs after the error shows he was going to get rocked.

 

[manchild98]

lefties are 0-18 against this cat.

The last 3 batters he faced in the 5th all hit hard, deep fly balls. Lucky 2 were outs. Porcello had already lost the sinker by the time Inferior made that error.
