Dude called 3 sac bunts in the first 5 innings of a game where the offense was producing. I'm not sure what he's trying to do, but I'm sure as hell not giving him that kind of credit right now.

There are a lot of loud signals that prevail when a manager loses his team ...and change has to be made.
Leyland still has this team.......the loud signals are emanating from the fans ...not the players.
I agree with Hammer on the C- for Jimmy. The overall team probably gets the same mark......primarily do to late inning pitching and runners LOB.
Long way to go and this skipper has a good resume.

Good Lord, Prince. That was a bad error.

And it immediately costs us a run. And then we throw the ball around and hand Mauer third on a silver platter.

What are we at, 4 unearned runs?

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

Looks about right to me. All we need now is to have Jackson kick one into the bullpen and we're set for the night.

Porcello is leaving the ball up a bit, though.

After that reception, if Raburn strikes out here, he might was well crawl under the dugout bench and not come back out until Labor Day.

This game is now totally awesome.

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

Imagine if we would have taken gloves into the field instead of skillets. We'd be cruising instead of clinging to a 6-5 lead.

Umm, that hit the yellow part of the wall. No homer.

This is turning into an old-style, Wrigley Field, 14 to 12 game.

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

This is absurd. Five unearned runs in 4 innings and people are *****ing about Porcello's pitch count.

And Austin Jackson hurt himself. Yippee.

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

Below now in a game where the winning run isn't already halfway between 3rd and home with 0 out. Let's see if he knows how to react.

Easy trivia question there:

The five Twins to win MVPs since '61: Versalles, Killebrew, Carew, Morneau, Mauer.

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

All right. Let's see how we kick this one away in the top half.
