Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

That ball was waaay too close to the infield for Delmon to try to score there. I'm amazed that play was even close.

I'd have sent him as well. the angle the fielder had going toward the stands meant he had to make a perfect throw which he did and even with that if young had slid closer to the ground he's safe.If the fielder was right handed it's a no brainer as well.

I thought Boesch was safe, but it's within the latitude if you ask me, of human error. the problem is that on balls and strikes and on field calls we have not gotten a single break all series long. Boston does get a few bonus calls being at home, but Verlander was shaking his head the other day with the bad calls and it has been kind of a trend.
having said that boston would have won anyway most likely. I liked that Leyland said those things about accountability. the umps need to be more accountable if you ask me.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

But as he was going towards the stands, he was coming in on the ball, as well, too.

That ball might have went 250 feet, tops. As soon as he caught that ball, my first thought was "if Delmon goes, he's a dead duck." It's a testament to Delmon's hustle on that play that it was that close.

And I'm not sure it was Gene that sent him. Delmon might have taken off by himself.

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice, Max Scherzer is letting guys steal 3rd base standing up without a throw.

I do agree with this. We've got to pick our battles a little better. That's not the hill we want to die on.

This is why Avila shouldn't catch 140 games a year.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

so are we keeping berry in the lineup when jackson comes back?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

I don't know if he'll be in the lineup, but so far he's played his way on to the roster. Dirks and Boesch are still ahead of him on the roster, along with Jackson. And it sounds like it's going to be a little bit yet before Jackson is back.

Delmon just bounced one off of the AAA sign above the Monster.

5-3, top 8.

A clutch hit??? Really??? Wow. I don't know how to react.

You watch. Now that it's not a save situation, Valverde is going to come in and scare the living bejeebus out of us.

Someone blow the dust off of the Todd Jones Save Manual.

If Justin White's forehead was any bigger, he could be a real life version of Pinky and the Brain.
