The minute Maroth came in, I had a strong suspection KC was going to start playing long ball. Maybe he can come back to form by next spring, but I would be extremely nervious with him in there during any other role than the one he played last night. Chris Y, I have to agree.

But I just don't know what he can contribute to a playoff team, unless it's mopup duty, ala last night. I'd be real nervous if he came into a tight situation in the playoffs. I just don't think he's back to where he needs to be effective. It seems to me that his stuff doesn't seem to move as much or maybe its just pitch selection. Or maybe he's holding something back...who knows? Bilfer, I too love what Maroth has done for this team.

Well...the Yankees are a eam that I certainly worry about. But yo, this is exciogting. This is unbelievable. Sean Casey we need you. You are our difference maker. You can hit a steady consistent 6th, definite. And we got Polanco back. Ride on Tiges. We can still pull it out this season. We can beat the yankees. BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no problem with it. Rogers can handle it fine and requested it. From Jason Beck's gamestory: Asked about it afterward, Rogers said with a chuckle, "I was working on talking him into letting me stay out there a little longer. I just felt fine and I just pitched six [innings] last time because I didn't feel so great. I wanted to go a little longer. That was my goal was to pitch some innings and earn it."

If it was a younger guy, then you probably pull him earlier. Plus Rogers didn't exactly work so hard today. Maybe Rogers felt more comfortable pitching a normal game. You don't really know whats going on down there. I don’t have too much of a problem letting Rogers go as long as he did. If it was a younger guy, then you probably pull him earlier.

At only 58 pitches, he could have been ready to go by Wednesday. Would have given Leyland a chance to juggle guys or just give everyone a breather. He probably wouldn't have done it anyways, but options are always good. I’m a little bummed to see Rogers out there in the 6th. At only 58 pitches, he could have been ready to go by Wednesday.

Yeah we didnt miss him did we. How about Polly, first game back (I know its K/C) 3-4 with 2 RBI’s. Yeah we didnt miss him did we.

Theother guys could use the reps as well, Get Santiago, Wilson etc out there. It would be unfortunate to have some one pull a hammie or get knicked up when its a blow out.
