[LHG]

We have DeJong. There will be no more losses going forward.

We have DeJong. There will be no more losses going forward.

Clearly this is the way.

 

[LHG]

There will not be a no hitter nor a shutout for Michael Lorenzen today.

 

[LHG]

Well that is a good start from DeJong!

 

[calsnowskier]

Well that is a good start from DeJong!

That was a BLAST. How pissed is Toronto?

 

[msgkings322]

Gotta cash this one in for so many reasons

OK armchair managers, what do you do here? Cobb went 5 scoreless the first 2 times through the order, good for him. 88 pitches.

Do you let him face them a 3rd time? Pull him at first sign of trouble?

Welp when you're right you're right. 3rd time through the freaking order is real.

If we lose this one...

 

[calsnowskier]

Yeah…

Clearly, he should have been pulled.

I am a few mins behind (Alexander is just throwing his first pitch now), so I couldn’t really answer when you asked…

 

[calsnowskier]

Joc hurt himself. Not sure if he is still in the game in real time, but he tweeked his oblique on that catch.

After the first HR

At least pull him after the first home run.

 

[calsnowskier]

At least pull him after the first home run.

Easy to say now.

 

[msgkings322]

Easy to say now.

I said it before though (pull at first sign of trouble)

Jax is kind of a shitshow lately.

 

[calsnowskier]

That had to feel good for Slater.

 

[tzill]

I don't see how we can keep Wood on the squad at this point.

 

[calsnowskier]

I don't see how we can keep Wood on the squad at this point.

He never bought in to not being a starter. Even though his starting results were garbage, he always felt he was done dirty by not being allowed to go 8 innings every outing.

Sorry dude. Pound sand.

 

[tzill]

Beck also a bit of a shitshow. The pitching not exactly sharp today.
