I hate Renyel Pinto. He is a cancerous tumor upon this team. I hope his arm falls off tonight and he never pitches again. I know this may just seem like anger over blowing the lead today, but I've thought he was terrible since last season.

I agree!

Hmm. Interesting. I always thought he was pretty good. In fact, I still do. He's just in a slump right now.

:lol :lol :lol

 

great picture.

Absolutely horrible, but probably not as bad as our manager's bullpen changes. Pinto and cash for Bill Robinson?

sounds good to me.

Hit or Miss Pinto... When he is on he is lights out and we he is off he is OMG... :barf

Pinto sucks, he's probably a communist too! :mad

He's been decent this year. He really struggled today.

pinto is good u f***in morons. just stop over reacting. :banghead

 

i'm in a bad mod

Pinto is good when there is nothing on the line.

 

When the game is close he f***ing sucks and blows it every time. I dare anyone to find stats that prove me wrong.

It's Fredi's fault that he's used in such tight situations when he's erratic (and that's kind) quite often.

 

I thought the trade for Benitez would allow Lindstrom/Owens/Tank to see more time in innings like the 7th today. Handedness doesn't mean a damn thing if the guy is constantly all over the place.

mlbtraderumors.com says that the Tigers were interested in Pinto in December. They're looking for bullpen help right now. Do they have anything we could use in a swap for Pinto?

I'll take anything. A bag of baseballs, an old shoe, some toothpicks. Heck, just give him away.

Some chicken selects from Mcdonalds would work for me.....though I doubt I could get the actual meal for him, I'd probably just get the chicken.

Pinto has Matt Perisho disease

I half expected him to blow it when I saw him warming. I don't think we should get rid of him, but I don't want to see him out there when we have a run lead in the 7th when we have Lindstrom and Owens.

pinto is good he just need to get more f***in consistant...when hes on hes money

they got rid of one of the 3 amigos -- Messenger, and its time to jettison the other two -- Tankersly and Pinto, and let some of the other guys take over

 

the only thing is, who would be the left handed relief specialist?

I dont understand why pinto pitch the 7th and not Lindstrom. I thought the 7th is Lindstrom 8th Benitez and 9th Gregg. It dosent matter that they all pitched yesterday. Because if we would have been up still 1-0 in the 9th its a guarantee we would have seen Gregg. If thats the case why not send Lindstrom in the 7th. When we have the lead. Plus the night game if Vander hurk goes only a couple of innings then we can use pinto for a long relief. I just dont understand why freddi didnt have Lindstrom pitch the 7th with the lead.

We don't need a goddamn lefty specialist! I hate when teams use players who suck just because they think "oMg We NeEd A lEfT hAnDeD sPeIcYiSt LoL!!!!!1111one!!!!" Just send in a reliable reliever and they should be able to get a lefty out.

probably the Braves had some left handed hitters coming up. I think Francouer bats left, and Saltamacchia is a switch hitter.

I was at work during this game so didn't get a chance to see it. I just got home and saw the replay. Hanley got hosed big time on that strike three call. Freakin rediculous.

In his last 12 games he's got a 9 ERA and 2 losses.

if there's a lefty specialist how come their's not a right specialist?
