fathom Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Too bad that throw didn't get past Loney. Unfortunately looks like Humber gets another inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 wtf do you guys want from your long reliever? An ERA south of 5 is gravy unless you want to absolutely stockpile arms which either costs money or costs prospects valuable development time (which is what we're doing now) Humber should go to long relief, Zach Stewart goes down to AAA if you really wanna get crazy let him start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) What's going to happen when this rotation faces the Yankees, Rangers, and Red Sox in the coming weeks? What do you expect to happen, KW to resign in frustration since our pitching is in shambles? Our situation isn't any worse than what the Red Sox and a number of teams like the Brewers have faced all season long with injuries. Hudson running hard down to 1B and busting it, unlike Mr. Soriano for the Cubs when Middlebrooks bobbled a liner 3 times and finally dropped it and yet Alphonso was gunned down by half a baseline. Booed pretty hard in his final at-bat. Castro 1 for his last 21. So much for the new Mr. Franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:25 AM) Ugh, why the hell are we leaving Humber in there. I do think every manager in baseball would do the same thing, leave Horrible Humber in. Four runs in three innings sucks, but it's not seven, eight runs. YOu have to let your starter go five as long as his pitch count is OK. Seriously, don't you agree? No manager hooks Humber this early "only" giving up four. I do think he sucks, though.

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Guess Humber skipped bunting practice and only concentrated on hitting BP fastballs. Humber as the long man is just a prescription for disaster because the ONLY way he can be successful is when he has his sharp curve. Otherwise, he's going to get tattoed ever worse than Stewart. This is why the Twins and Royals gave up on him, they didn't see him being effective out of the pen or effective in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've seen plenty of managers that will pull their pitcher after allowing 8 hits in 3 innings (especially if they're one of the worst starters in baseball coming into the game).
