Dam..it seemed like Romo was throwing 70% sliders in the series.

Doc,

When I watched Romo last year with the Giants he only throws sliders. Almost all of his Ks vs the Tirgers in the Series were way out of the strike zone...yet he had great success. Who knows?? I just do not like trotting the lefty Coke out there day in and day out. I am with you on Villarreal.

Another thing..was Hunter running on his own when he was thrown out at third to end the inning with Fielder coming up? That was really a stupid play for a vet like Hunter..plus watching the replay last night it looked like Hunter slowed a bit between second and third and then tried to pick it up when Brookens was telling him to get down.

Actually last year Romo threw his fastball 72% of the time, his slider 21% and his change up 8%.

Al Al threw his slider 61% of the time and walked 5.4 batters/9.

Agree on Hunter, really dumb play. I sent my buddy a text right after wondering what was going on.

Did you guys see the Escobar double? I don't think you did. The ball should have been caught, AJAX should have called for it and it would have been a tie game. Coke was the guy with the two switch hitters and Mauer, but Leyland needs to go to Dotel if Coke is failing there. But a single and a fly ball that should have been caught is what it is, Coke didn't exactly implode and Benoit didn't help him by walking the leadoff guy. Team loss, score two runs against scrubs and you don't deserve to win. MLB is also idiotic for scheduling these two teams while having the Texas teams play one another. How hard is it to start the season on a 6 game road trip to warmer climates? Stupid.

I saw it and agree it should have been caught, but either way it would have been a blown save and nothing Coke did changes my mind that he doesn't belong in that role

I agree, he doesn't. But if you don't have a closer and you are facing a bunch of lefthanders then Coke is the right play. I initially blamed Leyland then I looked at what was up and coming up, and think leaving Coke in was the right call.

But I'm more mad about the 5 runs in two games, that doesn't give you much margin for error. Hopefully Rondon pitches well in Toledo and you can call him up in a few weeks. In the meantime I think you give Dotel the most ops, he has the most experience closing and he doesn't act like much bothers him.

C'mon. It's day 3. Relax, guys...

9 stranded runners so far on day 3. Different season, different players, same result.

 
Might have to re-think the Twins final record if they can handle Detroit.

Home opener...Fister vs. Nova...Yanks travelling after a night game and they can't hit anyway.

I think today is an easy win.

Smyly loves pitching against the Yankees.

Hopefully they leave him out in the 9th for the save.

My new favorite stat: the four inning save

Impressively done! All is right with the world again.

We'll win our share with our bats, we'll win our share with starting pitching. As long as we can get enough great outings like this to offset last night's fiasco, we'll be fine.

 
What a day yesterday. I have never seen so many people in downtown Detroit.

Saw one hell of a bar room brawl after the game at Rubs. Had to be 10-12 guys fighting each other with glasses and bottles flying everywhere. The place was so over-crowded and it had a St Pattys Day type chippy crowd with way too many drunk people in a tight area. It was very close to the whole place erupting. Have not seen anything like that in years. It was fun to watch if you were not in the middle of it.

Sounds like a place that may want to switch to plastic bottles & red solo cups.

 
I've always been a Ramon fan, but it's about time to cut bait. Worth is better in the field and probably just as good at the plate anymore. Plus Santiago is atrocious on the basepaths and slow as hell.

I'm hoping Avila can bounce back and have a season somewhere between what he has in '11 and '12. So far he looks like 2012 Alex, brutal. He is very valuable behind the plate though, he's definitely a top ten defensive catcher and maybe borderline top 5. It's just hard to watch him hit though knowing he has a great swing and a good approach sometimes, just seeing more of it would be nice.

 
Anytime Jackson gets on base to lead off an inning, the opponent has be thinking "uh oh." Solid play at the top of the order, and good contributions further down as well :Dirks:.

Hey, next time through the order, maybe someone'll pitch of 6 innings. Tough for Scherzer to come back out after the long sit during the bottom of the 5th.
