ST GDT - Detroit Tigers @ Toronto Blue Jays - Lobstein vs. Redmond - 1:05 PM ET

[G-Snarls]

Claimed him off waivers from the Orioles at the end of spring last year. Spent most of his career with the Reds though.

 

Nice waiver wire pickup

 

Was so under the radar. Only ever pitched 3.1 MLB innings for Reds.

[gruber92]

If Rogers does well in his next start, he has to get the starting job. Redmond will suit us better as a long man.

[G-Snarls]

I'm thinking this appearance locks him into the #5 slot?

 

There's no way they don't take him

 

He hasn't had a bad outing all spring and he has MLB experience. I like guys who are steady if unspectacular (Redmond, Buerhle) more than streaky guys who blow up with some frequency. Especially when you have the offence to back them up. I hate 10-9 games. Too hard on the nerves and bullpen.

[John_Havok]

As good as Goins looked the other day with the bat, he looks terrible today, swinging at s*** all over the place

[John_Havok]

Lol, can you imagine... Instead of platooning a hitter based on lefty/righty... Platooning starters based on gb/fb tendencies in small/big parks.

 

The new market inefficiency!

[John_Havok]

Wonder what Redmond's pitch count is right now...

[gruber92]

Hes worked out a lot better then most people expected. From what I recall his numbers in Buffalo were horrible. He went from an org guy to a starter. I will take that. And yea he mainly came up with the Braves. With the Reds is where he got his first cup of coffee.

 

Hah.. Who could imagine an org guy can turn out to be a viable starter. Lol..

[John_Havok]

Was a decent pitch too, down and in probably right on the inside corner

[gruber92]

As good as Goins looked the other day with the bat, he looks terrible today, swinging at s*** all over the place

 

All 3 AB were against lefties. Just saying..

[John_Havok]

Wow, wonder what Eastwood would have thought about that sound.

[G-Snarls]

Redmond gives up a solo HR and a double back to back

[gruber92]

Redmond has hit his 5 inning ceiling and should have never started this inning imo. Mismanaged.

[John_Havok]

f*** sakes Diaz... You gotta get that s***

[G-Snarls]

All 3 AB were against lefties. Just saying..

 

Causing Jeff and Buck to muse about how he'll do in the season opener against Price

[G-Snarls]

f*** sakes Diaz... You gotta get that s***

 

Ummm, really hope Reyes is OK

[gruber92]

This is how a positive mentality can be extinguished.

[G-Snarls]

f*** sakes Diaz... You gotta get that s***

 

No biggie, just led to 1st and 3rd with this Cabrera guy coming up. He's not dangerous is he??

[John_Havok]

Redmond has hit his 5 inning ceiling and should have never started this inning imo. Mismanaged.

 

Must be sarcasm. He's scheduled for 6 and breezed through 5

[Jays]

Unless Redmond starts getting the ball on the ground more, he'll hurt in the RC.

 

Rogers starts in TOR, BAL, CHW, TEX, NYY, and Redmond starts everywhere else. Could work out nicely.

 

I love this idea. Redmond is so HR prone, and Rogers gets GB's.

[gruber92]

Causing Jeff and Buck to muse about how he'll do in the season opener against Price

 

Yeah,that's going to tough.

[G-Snarls]

LOL Redmond trolling us

 

We have clearly been speaking too highly of him

[GD]

If Reyes gets injured , I would have to think that Goins --------> SS and Mune/Izturis take over at 2B.

 

I think I just died a little on the inside.

[John_Havok]

LOL Redmond trolling us

 

We have clearly been speaking too highly of him

 

Hah, no kidding. Apparently they just realized Redmond is throwing strikes and should probably be aggressive

[gruber92]

Must be sarcasm. He's scheduled for 6 and breezed through 5

 

No sarcasm.

[G-Snarls]

If Reyes gets injured , I would have to think that Goins --------> SS and Mune/Izturis take over at 2B.

 

Yeah that's what he'd probably do. Goins is good at short.

[fatcowxlive]

oops we spoke too soon

[gruber92]

Gibby is a f***ing idiot.

[G-Snarls]

I think I just died a little on the inside.

 

Well, the offense would take a hit LOL

[G-Snarls]

Gibby is a f***ing idiot.

 

Regular season game I think he takes him out 2-3 batters ago

 

Prob wanted him to hit planned pitch count

[John_Havok]

No sarcasm.

 

You don't manage spring training games based on the score...
