Anybody consistently watched this guy pitch? He's sporting a 16+ K/9 after last inning's performance and his breaking ball is practically unhittable when locating his fastball. Reminds me a ton of Carlos Marmol of the Cubs in that he only throws two pitches yet they are both so effective you're constantly off balance.

Steve Nebraska was okay but I'd take the guy pitching for the Mets, Sidd Finch. Now that guy had a fastball.
Alburquerque has been great. Sometimes has an issue throwing his fastball for a strike but the slider is so unhittable that it almost doesn't matter. Hopefully he can keep this going all year.

He's been electric so far this year.
I have really enjoyed watching him pitch.
The three innings he threw against the White Sox was some of the best bullpen work I've seen since Zumaya in 06'.
New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

AA has been lights-out this
AA has been lights-out this year, and helped to compensate for the move by Coke to the starting roation and Benoit's inability to get guys out at all recently. I do think they need to get 1-2 more guys into the pen so that they don't wear him down, but he looks legit and has the type of motion that won't kill him in 2-3 years like we've seen with Zumaya (unfortunately).

Hey Wolverine319
If you haven't realized yet, you got caved for your Wings meltdown last night. Your posts only show up on the MGoBlog iPhone Ap. Check it out with your other account if you don't believe me.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.

Not when you get caved. If that's what you want to believe, that's obviously fine by me. Logout and check for yourself.

Wolverine319 went apeshit in the Wings open thread yesterday, and the mighty hand of the mods caved his posts. He is now posting Sixth Sense style... he's persona non grata, but he doesn't KNOW he's dead. Only app users can see him.

Hey, for future reference, the point of caving someone is kinda lost if other posters tell him he's caved. Especially for someone that has already created a second account when the first was negged to Bolivian.

I disagree - I think chatting with someone that cannot be seen is hilarious. Its kind of like our mailroom guy here at work that talks to himself. Although, every time he walks by my office I have an urge to hide under my desk, afraid that he's going to shoot up the place. Come to think of it, talking to one's self is not funny at all . . . .

On the other hand, Perry is awful. AAA for him anyone? He has never looked consistently like a stellar option.
Awful might not be strong enough.
Awful might not be a strong enough word. Horrendous would be plausible. The problem is, who do you have in AAA or even AA that you want to pull out of the rotation to throw into the pen? Furbush, Oliver and Turner are all looking great, but you don't want to throw off their growth as a starter for some temporary bullpen health. Maybe Weinhardt?
Perhaps this is a time where Coke heads back to the pen and one of the kids gets a crack at some spot starts with the big club?
coke should get one more start
Toronto is hammering lefties this year, so it would be nice to see him get one more chance. If he is still ineffective in that role though, sending him to the pen and calling oliver up would make some sense. Oliver is reaching the point where AAA hitters aren't helping his development, and every pitch he throws is just one more bullet out of the chamber.
If its just Perry getting sent down, with no other moves, weindhardt should be the call. He's already a releiver and he's had some stretches of success in the majors. Short stretches, but still, more than most of the farm hands. Lester Oliveros is a tempting name too, but he needs to show he can carry his success in aa up to aaa before that's a realistic option.

I hear ya. I'm not one of those guys who rags on Coke either. I feel like a lot of people were really iffy on the idea of him as a starter from the get-go and (whether they realize it or not) are rooting against him to succeed because they want to prove their initial inhibitions correct.
I want Coke to do well because the Tigers really need a left-handed starter. Especially when Morneau and Mauer get their act together.
That being said, he has not looked good as of late and the Tigers have some options in their pen and in their system to stay in the race this year.
Hey now!
That strike zone is really small! And sometimes the stitching on the baseball isn't quite all even. It's hard, you know! Seriously!
(I dunno why, but I have little sympathy for Perry and his inability to hit the strike zone at 94 when Zoom was hitting it at 104 consistently).
He needs to
not throw his slider 62 percent of the time, though.
