  1. Batter's foot clearly beat Buehrle's, but I'd like to see another replay angle of that. Looked like Buehrle might have tagged him.
  2. That depends on whether you become a GOOD professor or not...
  3. The hats are nothing to do with Rogers. Some company designed them for all MLB teams for 4th of July. I don't think teams had any input or say over them. Looking at how horrible they are, probably the same company that designed the camo unis and hats a while ago.
  4. Speaking of Lyon, he just got designated for assignment by the Mets.
  5. He was basically fastball / curveball. He had a change, but it was basically for show and thrown very rarely (and wasn't really very good anyway). He didn't really add the splitter until he went to the Phillies (in exchange for the change). Now if you consider the cutter and sinker to be additional pitches, then fine. Realistically he had several variations of a fastball and the curve when he pitched for us.
  6. Halladay was basically a 2 pitch pitcher, so was Randy Johnson. Yeah the each HAD another pitch or two, but they didn't throw them much.
  7. That's a fantastic quote. I love that mentality.
  8. Quite a pitching matchup going on in Oakland so far.
  9. He talked about how hard the game was and things like that. He wouldn't have said that if he thought he was playing great. He knows he's playing poorly.
  10. I suspect the Jays were concerned about him struggling during the rehab assignment as a starter, and then having a big issue on what to do with him. I think the first step was to get him back, healthy, and confident. I mean, he's pitched so little in the last few years it isn't funny. Pitchers who throw 200 innings still have occasional problems with mechanics and stuff, let alone one who's thrown about 30 in the last 5 years. The second step (possibly next spring) would be to stretch him out.
  11. I don't really have a big issue with what JPA said about Heyhurst or Dirk's original criticisms and response. I think both were fair and honest. I DO have an issue with JPA speaking for the team and wonder if it will cause bad blood in the clubhouse regarding Melky. What I DO like about this situation is that JPA is clearly frustrated with how he and the team are playing. Hopefully he will use it constructively (aside from this interview) and improve his game. Sometimes you have to hit bottom before you can move forward, and hopefully this is his bottom.
  12. Just completely forget about a 5th starter, add an extra bp arm, and do the games by committee. Dustin can add 1 inning at a time to his starts and still be available on his throw day in between.
  13. And Delabar did it to them the other night. Tigers get to see what a real pen is like, and we get to see what real starting pitching is like ...
  14. Between the 98 by McGowan and the 102 by Rondon, the gun may be a little hot tonight. No denying the nasty stuff though.
  15. Rondon's breaking ball is like 7mph faster than Buehrle's fastball.
  16. LMAO, the outfielder was almost on the infield when he threw that. Great slide Bautista!
