IdahoBert Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Not a lot of velocity on that first pitch of the game. 1 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted August 4 Posted August 4 (edited) I like Andy Dirks but Todd Jones just doesn't shut up. His stories go on forever and he stutters, making a 5 second remark into 3 minutes of torture to the ears. Edited August 4 by Sports_Freak Quote

IdahoBert Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Not a lot of action on the game thread today. Probably a record for a low number of posts. People must be watching grass grow today or synchronized swimming, which is just about the same thing. 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Brant Hurter pitched like he was facing a Tigers lineup that’s flummoxed by a rookie with stuff they’ve never seen before. Quote
IdahoBert Posted August 4 Posted August 4 So, Shelby Miller… I’m hoping I don’t need to head into my fallout shelter. Quote
Tigermojo Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Miller is definitely capable of having a nuclear meltdown. Quote
chasfh Posted August 4 Posted August 4 (edited) I really like Andy Dirks on TV. He's a business-first guy, a la Dan Dickerson, and he keeps Benetti's tendencies to go way off-topic in check. Benetti can be a really good business PxP, and Dirks keeps him in check. It's when Todd Jones comes into the booth where they go really off the beam, and Dirks doesn't seem like he wants to go there so much. Edited August 4 by chasfh Quote
chasfh Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Oh, Jesus, first pitch bomb with two out in the ninth and the last pinch-hitter puts the Royals up 3-2. Goddamit. Quote
Dtrain72 Posted August 4 Posted August 4 (edited) Get motherf*cking a$$ sh*t poop Miller off of this team now. Edited August 4 by Dtrain72 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Leyland used to say....throw enough pitchers out there and eventually one of them will give it up. Ladies and gentleman, Shelby Miller... Quote
IdahoBert Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Jeez Louise. Giving up a three run homer in the top of the ninth. I get the feeling sometimes that we are like the minister in the 1953 War of the Worlds who goes out holding up a Bible in front of the Martian’s death rays. Quote
Tigermojo Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Putting a games finished clause in Miller's contract was a really bad idea. Quote

Dtrain72 Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Seriously, dfa/cut him the minute this game is over...I want full draconian Scott Harris Quote
Tigermojo Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Shocking nobody wanted to trade for him when relievers were flying off the shelves at the deadline. Quote
MeanJim Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Putting Shelby Miller in with a 2 run lead in the 9th means you don't care if you win. Leaving him in the game after throwing 5 absolute meatballs right down the middle means you want to lose. 1 Quote
