Frankensteiner Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Okay, time for a multiple choice quiz: the problem today was a. the pitching b. the hitting C. both. Starting pitching is the main problem, but if you can't upgrade that, then get a hitter to upgrade the lineup because the offense was playing over their heads in the 1st half.

DABearSoX Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) You seem to be forgetting that Jones is more than likely pitching in the 9th for Detroit. But Widger is batting in the 9th..... we only have 2 outs to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because as we have seen with our own flame throwers, 100 mph is so easy to hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) Very clearly the hitting. Who's fault is it more, the guy who's sucked all year, or the players that are expected to perform, but just haven't? but over the long haul, every other hitter IS performing (except for Uribe and Anderson, who make up for it with defense). Widger has contributed virtually nothing offensively, defensively, or otherwise to help this team. Even Uribe had a ton of RBIs last month and Anderson is now really hot. The guy does not warrant a starting slot. I'd rather have a piece of plywood up to the plate, because at least the plywood might confuse the pitcher and get a HBP.

CWSOX45 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 So we have Texas for 3, and then knowing Gardenhire he'll switch up that rotation so we face that 1 2 punch of Santana and Liriano.... This is not looking good folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) I don't blame him one bit. It's a big moment and Joe embarrassed himself. Acted like he's never seen a 100 mph fastball. Next time hit it. yep and that's even more reason for Zumaya to get his ass in the f***in dugout asap.

CYGarland Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 were probably going to see Cintron, AJ, and BA next inning. Lets hope Cintron or AJ can get on so BA can hit the go ahead homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoRowand33 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) to any widger lovers, think about it you might want to say that the team just happens to miss their spots more when he starts, but any way we look at it, he's a worthless piece of spiff who needs his ass sent back to the softball leagues Edited July 20, 2006 by GoRowand33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
