Looks like I got here just in time for the good stuff!

[Tigeraholic1]

And just like that we are tied again. Lets hope Gas Can Maeda settles down.

hope Hinch doesn't get greedy and try to get too much out of him. Too demoralizing to waste a comeback.

[gehringer_2]

AJ? AJ? Let not let this get out of hand again...please....

[Dtrain72]

Soooo, who can replace Maeda, Manning or Jobe?

[gehringer_2]

Dirks says right now Maeda's  FB is trash and the slider is trash. Doesn't leave much.

[Tigermojo]

The home run was on a hanging splitter so now every pitch is trash.

[oblong]

Maeda is giving me so many flashbacks to the failed signed starters of hte past, like Jordan Zimmerman, Mike Pelfrey, Alfredo Simon.... 

[Tigeraholic1]

Homer, walk get the hook.....

We consistently sign expired high priced talent.

Faedo up

[Dtrain72]

Maeda has been throwing BP pretty every game this season...looks like a feature, not a bug.

[gehringer_2]

Colt living dangerously - going to replay.

make that E4

It's early, but gotta imagine Kenta is on thin ice these days

[Tigerbomb13]

We'll see how big Harris's juevos are if Maeda continues his gascan-itis going into June...Scott signed him to a two year, $24 mill contract.  If Maeda continues to fall apart, but Harris doesnt man up and move on, then that should be all we need to know about him.

[theroundsquare]

find a reason to put him on the DL

Tork and Carpenter flipped.

The way this team is going offensively, just get Canha, Greene, and Carpenter at the top in whatever order and hopefully a middle trio emerges.  Get the guys that are hitting as many of the plate appearances as possible.

Flaherty and Maeda both seem to have topped out in spring training. Maeda has totally imploded.

It's a really good question, but while Manning isn't the best pitcher ever, if Maeda doesn't improve and continues to maintain a 7-8 ERA, he's too good to leave down there.

I don't know if that entails moving Maeda to long relief or what, but something has to give there.

Flaherty at least seems to recover and give them length even with the early struggles... his last outing against the Twins was a good example.

With Maeda, it just seems like you're waiting the shoe to drop.... the whole arsenal has to work a certain way, and if he can't land pitches / misses on location, it ends up being a really long day.
