fathom Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 01:42 AM) You are living in lala land. You can't just pick out a player and say, oh, let's go get him because we need a center fielder badly. Baseball doesn't work like that. Teams are asking an arm and a leg for everything. There is a reason you dont see any trades going down right now. Or maybe it's because most contending teams don't have absolutely glaring holes this early in the season. I'm pretty sure la la land is thinking that things are fine with what we currently have out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry wiggins Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Tigers open up a can of whup-ass on Garland in the 6th. There's a surprise. Has he made it through 6 yet this year without getting shelled? Sure doesn't seem like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinilaw08 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) I've said it countless times before, not having Anderson in centerfield hurts us...a lot. True, think about it this way, a defensive player potentially impacts every single play. The impact of a guy that is an automatic out does not have that type of imapct. I'm sorry there isn't anything better right now, but Anderson needs to be out there the majority of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:38 AM) I don't know why I'm going to argue this, because everything you're going to say is "it's a no-win situation because we'll complain either way," but here I go. Cora sent two of the slowest guys on the team in situations where they would be gunned out. These were ridiculously obvious choices. I could understand if it's someone with speed, or if our guys weren't so f***ing far away from the plate. Those were terrible decisions and they were waving wallyesque. How do you know Crede would have been thrown out last night? Gomez ain't exactly an all - star out in LF, and doesn't have the greatest defense and arm out there by all reports. Cora likes to be aggressive because it puts pressure on the fielder to make the play. If Crede is held at third, and doesn't score, it's still a 3-3 game, and we could have very well lost last night. You take the good with the bad, but in no way is Joey Cora as bad as Wally was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to play Mack against lefties. Might as well put Pods in center and Ozuna in LF. Mack has looked like s*** against lefties all year.

Soxfest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 JG is a 5th starter at best , I am tired of all the excuses for Garland he SUCKS besides 1 good contract yr, time to call a spade a spade. :puke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfan Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I have a feeling the Tigers may not be done tonight. That inning has woken them up I think. We were 1 for 20 with RISP in scoring position before that inning, and look what happened. Not to toot my own horn here, but if that's any indication, it could get ugly fast.

JPhat007, Please stop making sense, fathom does not want to hear it right now. That said, this inning is a perfect example of how NOT to play good fundamental baseball. This is worse than a spring training game, it is embarassing. The White Sox announcers have been pointedly critical, rightfully so. Unawareness, lack of attention to detail, poor execution, cluelessness, mental letdowns ... it's all happened in this inning. What an ugly display, they need their ass chewed out for some of the things that occured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earned a contract by pitching well last year, he wasn't a FA at the end of the year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Blaming Garland is silly. I know he's the whipping boy, but this loss goes 100 percent on Mackowiak and Cora, they have alone caused a 6 run swing towards Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Cabrera's done better than Anderson, but that's only because BA's been so damn bad. On paper it should have been the other way around.
