The pen is up again.

Better than passing on Trout for Tyler Matzek.

Or Justin Verlander for Matt Bush.

 

[manchild98]

6-3...Crosby is done.

6-3...Crosby is done.

About time.

 

[spockmaster]

fucking pathetic. id like to hear the weak-ass explanations for why they decided crosby was ready for this.

 

[byco42]

About time.

When would you have removed him?

 

[mhughes0021]

playing 2 3rd baseman and no one up the middle apparently doesnt work in the big leagues -.- who woulda thunk it.

"Well, uh, we don't have a former starter in the bullpen or anything, so, uh, we went with Crosby. Shit, I forgot we had Below in there."

 

[buddyboy2121]

When would you have removed him?

I wouldn't have put him out there.

 

[27tigers]

I completely disagree with Dickerson and Price about Villareal. I don't see him having an out pitch. He gets guys 0-2, 1-2 and can never put them away.

Who pitches today, then?

I pretty sure he had 5 ks the other day out of the 6 batters he faced.

 

[buddyboy2121]

Duane Below or Luis Marte. Below is meant for long relief/spot starts so I don't understand the Crosby move.

I'm not sure Santos could even hit a softball.

 

[27tigers]

He did, you are right. Doesn't change my opinion of him yet.

 

[manchild98]

We finally turned a DP.

 

[byco42]

Duane Below or Luis Marte. Below is meant for long relief/spot starts so I don't understand the Crosby move.

Leyland told him in April that he would be called up at some point. A starter was put on the DL, so not replacing him with a starter is risky. Below starts and goes six and he's done for the series. He's gone more than 2 innings once this season in an appearance.

I don't have a problem with the Crosby start. It was bound to happen.

 

[jas5lf]

Wow. Marte looks really good out there. This is great news for a bullpen that needs it.

 

[gotime909]

I completely disagree with Dickerson and Price about Villareal. I don't see him having an out pitch. He gets guys 0-2, 1-2 and can never put them away.

He's got 14 k's in 9 innings so far this year.

Speedy Laird!! Rally time!

Finally caught a break....Laird was out. Probably pulled his hammy too.
