rams80 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Tomlin's going to break whatever the record is of consecutive games with at least 5 innings pitched.He's got to be one of the most underrated pitchers in the MLB. The guy is 12-5? this year and has gone 5+ innings in every single game of his career. He had a handful of games this year when he struggled a bit (hence the 5 losses) but overall he usually gives the Tribe a chance to win. His only weaknesses would have to be predictable pitches and giving up a good amount of home runs. A majority of his pitches are strikes, and once batters realize this they start to get hits off of 1st or 2nd pitches. Swinging early in counts can result in contact, but this makes it easier for him to get through innings very quickly causing fast outs. I'd say with all the Ubaldo Jimenez and Masterson talk, people don't seem to pay much attention to Tomlin. But he really solidifies our starting lineup.When he's on his breaking stuff is nasty. I mean; he got that :censored:head Thome looking!Ah yes, how dare Jim Thome betray the great Indian cause.

TheClevelandHockey Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Can we please stop with the childish insults? Thanks for making us all look bad, dude.You want "grown up" insults? He's a backstabber and a deserter. Everyone has these rose tinted glasses of Thome as some big lovable lug, a "corn-fed midwestern mule", and a great Indian. Then he left for an extra year on his contract.Nope. Sorry. Screw Thome. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff.

mania Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 In retrospect then by what he did when he left, the Cleveland office :censored:ed up and should have given him the extra year. It's on them, not on him. He doesn't owe the organization or the fans , because he more than delivered for what he was payed during his time.

It's on them, not on him. He doesn't owe the organization or the fans , because he more than delivered for what he was payed during his time.He said he loved Cleveland and wanted to retire here, that he loved his fellow players and really wanted to stay.Then he signs for no more money, just an extra year.You don't do that.But you already have this bias in your head so whatever. Other free agents say they will take the most money they can get; if Thome said that I wouldn't hate him nearly as much. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff.

AnythingChicago Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm at today's Orioles-Tigers game (suck it, YessSir! ). The pitching matchup is Jo-Jo Reyes against Doug Fister. I've already seen Fister once this season (at a Mariners-Nationals game) so I'm expecting him to dominate against Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
