    Quantum of Solace (James Bond). It wasn't too long, but still, only 5 innings?
  2. Danchat
    I started a movie when it was top of the 2nd... just finished and now it's the top of 7th. Yeesh, guys, can't we speed this up a bit? Ober back to the IL would be a big bummer if it's true his velo was down. We can't keep taxing the bullpen like this. Good to see Megill holding up. Maybe send out Thiebar for the #8 and #9 hitters, then have Duran face the rest.
  3. Danchat
    Yeah, I'm thinking Canterino to the bullpen is going to need to be a move if they need a top-end option. With Cano and Moran not looking like they're going to help, there's not much else in the minors, so they'll need to make some trades, but that probably won't happen until July... so perhaps it's time to prepare Canterino for his new role (call up him to AAA and have him pitch shorter stints?).
  4. Danchat
    Losses to bad teams is inevitable over a 162 game schedule, but do they need to be so brutal like this?
  5. Danchat
    Happy now that Kepler did? ?
  6. Danchat
    Would be nice to have Royce Lewis in the lineup in a time like this... over the struggling rookie who everyone said would be in AAA by this point... and now we're resorting to PH'ing Gordon with his .600 OPS. Prove me wrong!
  7. Danchat
    You think we're going to trade him for a reliever(s) / trade him for prospects and flip them for a reliever(s)? I have a really hard time seeing that happen.
  8. Danchat
    That was an abysmal inning, and I can't argue Rocco isn't at fault (using Duffey there isn't egregious, but you had to get him out of there faster)... but we shouldn't expect to win games when only scoring 2 runs against the likes of the Royals and Tigers. Offense needs to step it up.
  9. Danchat
    Methinks it's Duran time...
  10. Danchat
    Thanks ump, that was strike 3, and now the inning continues. Ugh.
  11. Danchat
    Heck of an outing so far for Smeltzer, got to wonder if Archer goes to the bullpen so he can stay. Speaking of 'staying', I'd love to see him go out for the 7th inning...
  12. Danchat
    Maybe Buxton needs to go back to his old #9 spot in the lineup...
  13. Danchat
    It's disappointing that Balazovich and Sands haven't looked good and have spent time on the IL, but Winder was expected to be there instead of on the MLB roster the whole year, so I suspect he would have been putting up gaudy numbers there. At least we've got SWR, Canterino, and Varland dealing at AA. Enlow should get into the conversation next year.
  14. Danchat
    Yeah, right now you'd have to probably call up Chi Chi Gonzalez or Dereck Rodriguez, but hopefully Winder will be ready to go sooner than later. I could see Canterino as an option to be a multi-inning guy, I think he could go directly from AA to MLB.
  15. Danchat
    Sands has been on the injured list for some time and actually hasn't pitched all that much for AAA, Henriquez is only 22 and has thrown only 20 innings so far, so I'm not concerned about him yet. Balazovich is concerning me, even though that's just a small sample size - he's been brutal.
  16. Danchat
    Yes, but you should usually win games where your pitchers only give up 3 earned runs in 10 innings, especially when you have the bases loaded 0 outs in the 10th inning.
  17. Danchat
    This loss is on the hitters - horrid RISP and got dominated by Detroit's bullpen. The loss is not a huge deal since they snatched a couple wins the last week that we'd usually lose, but I'm still concerned about the offense. We've got to get Lewis back up in the lineup.
  18. Danchat
    I get that same darn Columbus ad on several sites, I think they all use the same ad service. Various sports and news sites.
  19. Danchat
    There's a pretty huge difference between being a competitive team and needing to upgrade one part of the team, compared to trading away your best player and dashing all hopes of doing anything in the playoffs... they're allowed to add to the bullpen.
  20. Danchat
    The pitching has done its job fine enough, time for the offense to scrape across another run against the Tigers.
  21. Danchat
    Obviously I would too, but if a player is going to slump, it'd be better vs the 18 game stretch vs the A's/Tigers/Royals rather than the Astros/Dodgers/White Sox.
  22. Danchat
    Y'know, this is a fine part of the season for Buxton to be slumping. Just get hot when we face the good teams, and nobody will care that much.
  23. Danchat
    This one felt like a loss, good job by Thielbar and Pagan to hold the Tigers off long enough for the offense to wake up again. Also, this post-game quote from Rocco was great:
  24. Danchat
    I never suspected Garlick would be hitting so well, and in the clutch... gotta give kudos to the front office for bringing up him rather than somebody else like Justin Upton. The dude's death to lefties.
  25. Danchat
    It's surprising they didn't demote Cano for a reliever earlier today, so now the bullpen is pretty used up...
