If you were a Tigers fan, would you be happy with your bullpen?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rotoworld says the Comical says the Braves are eyeing Winn. Wow, great news.M.C.

They had just tied the game up playing "little ball." Send it to the 'pen. Your're at home. You played for one run, you got it. Put your fresh, best guys out there to give you 6 outs and hope to squeak out a run on their (lousy) 'pen. I don't know if Sanchez had hit 100 pitches, but it was over 90 and he had been awesome (10 groundouts!) against a very good, very hot offense. He was done. Asking him to fool those guys "one more time" was setting him up to fail.<BR/><BR/>Guys learn to go deeper by throwing fewer pitches per plate appearance, not by leading the league in batters faced.M.C.

Lincecum has his least wonderful start but the team produces an exciting win, then Sanchez takes a no-hitter into the 6th but we can't score and Sanchez gets an L. There is no justice.<BR/>I think that no matter how well these 2 pitchers are doing, I don't care if they have perfect games going, they should sit after 7 innings. Last night Sanchez came out to pitch the top of the 8th, I'm thinking, "WHY?!" and he immediately gives up a loooong homer.<BR/>Favorite youngster? Besides Lewis? Has to be Bowker. He's had lots of big-time hits. Any and all home runs are very welcome on this team. I sure hope you're right about Merkin, although I still see him as a starter some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
