Balta1701 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) Struggling Francouer, Lefty Moustakas, Switch Pena Ventura will DEFINITELY be tempted, since he's put down 10 in a row. With no offday in here, expanded bullpen, and Detroit coming to town...I definitely stop Sale here...but that's just not how Ventura's handled him this year.

caulfield12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Well, that's ONE way to solve the hitting with RISP issues. Just hit homers at USCF. AJ just missed a double there...close to a homer. Edited September 8, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Tonight sets up as a HUGE game in that Angels/Tigers series. CJ Wilson vs. Verlander, and then Greinke Sunday, who has been about as hot as any pitcher in baseball the last 4 or so starts. Angels win tonight, the sweep definitely happens with how the Angels have been playing the last 10+ days. Flowers now with 9 walks, 49 K's.

chw42 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) He didn't own Crain that time. You have to wonder why we throw Francouer so many fastballs in pitcher's counts. Throw him junk, he will swing at it once you get ahead. Edited September 8, 2012 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's thrown it as much this year due to the injury. I remember Crain used to throw a ton of sliders. I think he really changed his approach in his last year with the Twins.
