Hello everyone,

I see a blowout. Ned's finally giving Corey Hart a chance. I watched his first maajor league at bat a couple years ago. About 400 ft down the left field and about 10 ft foul. I love this kid. TRADE JENKS FOR A PITCHER

[pitchleague]

If the Tigers trade Verlander, there will be as much rioting as when the Pistons won titles. Every member of the Tigers organization would be burned in effigy and ripped to shreds.

 

If you think Jenkins and Wise for Verlander is fair, I've got some belly button lint that is in the shape of the virgin Mary (with a little imagination, at least) that I'd like to sell you.

Jeff Cirillo hitting 3rd? It's a run-producing spot in the lineup so why not put a power threat like Hart there? Sometimes Ned's moves get me a little frustrated. He'll stick with Jenkins in the 3rd spot for 3 weeks too long and let losses and his strikeout totals mount before making a move, but he won't give a promising player like Hart that spot in the order? Mind boggling.

 

That being said, Cirillo will probably hit 2 HR's and have 4 RBI in that spot tonight and I will come back and have to *gladly* eat my words in 3 hours.

Hail Mary, full of Mark

The time is now

To jettison Geoff from the stern

Full Speed Ahead!

[parkside21]

8th is a good spot for Hart until he plays every day. He can't hit 3rd right now because chances are, he'll put up a couple of K's tonight. Cirillo seems to always make contact, and with Weeks hopefully on base, a groundball out or something may be all that is needed to score Weeks.

 

Previous poster was right, if Victor Martinez were on my team too, I'd have no qualms having him hit 4th.

[parkside21]

Forgot to also mention....no way Verlander goes anywhere...ESPECIALLY for someone like Jenkins...crazy talk...

[sgtkowboy]

Gameday put that one over the wall, how close was it?

[COOOOP]

Good to see you again Ronnie!

 

You may sit down now with your very own K.

[parkside21]

Looked like Brady caught it maybe a step or two before the warning track, so about 10 feet in front of the wall. By the way, welcome to the site sgtkowboy...play nice, and enjoy!

[COOOOP]

Nice inning Cappy!

[sgtkowboy]

Great Inning Cappy,

I'll probably be asking a lot on distances and what not because I don't have access to a TV here. I am stationed with AdamBr2.

[Tisko]

I love that Hart is playing instead of Jenks, but can someone explain to me why Rillo isnt playing 3rd and Fielder at 1b?

[sgtkowboy]

C.C. wanted no part of Weeks

Way to walk one of the fastest guys in the league

[endaround]

Because Koskie had a good 25 Abs against Sabathia.

[JoeH33]

I saw somewhere that Koskie kills Sabathia.

[TauPentaRei]

98 RBIs on the bench is nice to see...

 

even if I wish Geoff was a professional hand-ball player in the former Yugoslavia.

[Bruce Ciskie]

If this pitching thing doesn't work out, Sabathia always has a sumo career as a possibility.

[adambr2]

Rickie reaches on 4...good start...Sure nice not to see Jenks in the 3....or in the 1-9 against a lefty...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Bruce Ciskie]

By the way, for those who don't see the Indians much, Sabathia is pretty much all or nothing. His outings usually come close to one of the following:

 

7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K

5 1/3 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 5 K

 

He only has 16 walks so far this season, and I'm wondering if those didn't happen in about three or four different starts. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[adambr2]

Hate to see Prince out the game with the way he hits lefties...especially when he's been swinging a hot bat.

[Ayt]

Hell of an AB there by Brady.

[COOOOP]

Rillo! Crazy like a fox lineups!

[endaround]

Umm Darron, Ned is following the stats.

[undertow67]

Jeff Cirillo with an RBI base hit in the 3 hole. Seems like old times.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[rluzinski]

Clark needed that stolen base http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Lee is a sac fly machine.

 

Nice start!
