Game 5: Orioles @ Tigers Thread

[Mitchrapp]

Our bull pen is just awful.

:nod:

 

[biggunsbob]

Pitch was up and in the zone.... Allowed Wieters to extend his arms.

 

[Thundercats]

Kind of expected a shitty output offensively today. Can't have your number 6-9 consisting of two rookies, and two single-A players and get a lot of hits.

 

[biggunsbob]

Our Bullpen is like gasoline on fire..... Nothing good happens when you combined the two..

 

[manchild98]

I don't know how we can be expected to seriously compete for anything with this pen. It's obviously early but as expected, these same guys that sucked last year suck this year.

 

[biggunsbob]

It appears our line-up was a Jimmy leaving town line-up today.. On paper it looks triple A-ish in a lot of spots.....

 

[Mitchrapp]

And why aren't Ryan Madson and Joel hanrahan worth taking fliers on?!

I bet you wish JV was still out there, eh?

:cheers:

A lot of managers do this it seems. Especially when you win the first two in the series..

After blowing the tie in the 8th? Hmmm. I think I'd pass on that, too.

get used to it.

 

[Rebbiv]

If he maintains a 3/2 K/BB ratio, trust me.. he will not have this kind of luck throughout the season.

Verlander SO/BB Ratio last 3 years by Catcher


Avila 133 - 525 3.95

Laird 17 - 61 3.59

Pena 27 - 94 3.48


Holaday 8 - 16 2.00

Martinez 3 - 6 2.00

Santos 4 - 4 1.00


Who was the catcher today?

 

[gotime909]

We got this one boys!!

So Al Al better than JV? Tired JV always better than a rested BP.

 

[Rebbiv]

Because they SUCK

 

[johnny2x2x]

Just cannot believe we didn't address the bullpen in the off season. Nathan will be fine as a replacement for Benoit, but we did not replace Smyly in the BP. We are trying to win a World Series, why skimp on one area?

Avila caught JV on opening day, and he had a 2/3 ratio.. which is even worse, obviously.

I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the amount of time he's been caught by those guys. I'm sure there's a comfort with Avila back there.

 

[biggunsbob]

3-1 count...Even the best should try and get the tying run to the plate :/

once and awhile...
