kapzk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:27 PM) If their pitching sucks, what does that say for our hitters? That they are streaky as hell, like for crying out loud Porcello has prolly the highest WHIP in the big league, and they could only muster one run off him. I know this team is capable of more.

The Beast Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Corpseball continues. Robin, how can your team expect to win when your starting pitcher gives up 6 runs and your hitters leave 5+ men on base?

Dick Allen Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) Yeah because Beckham is just lighting it up with his stick. And Escobar has shown he can really hit. Beckham is better than him in every aspect except maybe Escobar runs a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What difference will there be between Beckham and Hudson at 2nd. None, Hudson is as good if not better defensively at 2nd than Beckham. And both suck at offense, while Hudson has shown he has done better b4, but prolly cuz of age he sucks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) This. Their pitching staff sucks beside JV and defense is bad as well. There's a reason why the season is 162 games. Fister is very good. Check out his record with DET after he joined them last year. They only lost, as a team, 1 or 2 of his starts. Scherzer is leading the AL in K/9. He was consistently hitting 97-98 in the 7th inning against the Angels this past week. Porcello is 3-0 against the Sox with an ERA of nearly 1. He's 23, so he's done all that before the age Verlander started pitching for DET after Old Dominion. Turner is one of their best pitching prospects and Drew Smyly was very very underrated for them, their version of Jose Quintana.

RZZZA Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd honestly be ok with benching this entire starting line up except for Rios for 1 game. I remember Thibs did something like that last year when the starters displeased him. Sends a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not as good as those numbers indicate during that time after he was acquired. If anything he is high 3 to low 4 era pitcher at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We sure are going through a hard and bad stretch of games here. Humber gives up 4 homers. That has been a consistent issue with our pitchers for the most pasrt. They give up way too many long balls. Our offesne is pathetic right now and the play we see is even worse then pathetic. But, this team can play well and I am certain it will soon. We are still in this thing. Live game to game day to day and when you have these stretches it is worse than having teeth pulled for sure.
