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

Casey Crosby in Fister's place on Friday.

OT, but Nick Lidstrom presser tomorrow. I think this is good-bye. :(
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Laird at DH, Avila catching, Worth starting at 2B and batting second.

EDIT: And Fister is going back on the DL again.

The Tigers are in complete disarray if you ask me. How many different combinations are the Tigers going to experiment with, while the White Sox have won 8 in a row and are 9 - 1 in their last ten? They beat the Rays again today.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Tigers score first tonight. Worth scores on a FC by Young with the bases loaded. Young at first, Cabrera at third, Fielder out at 2nd.

1 - 0 Tigers top of the 1st

Boesch out to end Tiger half.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

The Tigers are in complete disarray if you ask me.

I'm leaning this way, too.

And don't get me started on the White Sox, especially after Harrelson's **** hemorrhage this afternoon during their game.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Now they're teeing off on Smyly. From 3-0 to a 4-3 hole.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Maybe Avila got the hand in there, but I figured he was a dead duck when I saw the camera shot of him rounding first.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Wow - I thought Detroit was out of this inning - guess we need to send a thank you card to Bosch for playing Gonzalez shallow.

eta: no snark. Just commiserating. Plenty of w t f baseball in Boston this year. They're on a tear right now . . . going from last place to . . . well . . . still last place

That's okay. We've got the top of the lineup coming up and we're probably going to waste a 4-hit game from Cabrera.

At least we're not Texas tonight. They were down 16-0 after 3, and it's 17-0 in the 6th.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Have to say I am totally sick of losing, and losing on 0-2 hits is a tough way to watch a good game turn into a bad one. Berry not good tonight either.I don't think Boston is as good as we made them look.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

We're just returning the favor from them making us look like WS champs opening weekend.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

50 games in. 23-27. Fister on the DL. Two rookie lefties in the rotation. Still no 2B. Three catchers on the roster.

I don't think its quite time to hit the button, but opening up the protective glass around it is starting to look like a pretty good idea to me. Its not too late yet that they can't catch fire and get 'er going. But dang it, somebody needs to start playing with matches.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Brookens thrown out again in the 2nd. This time for arguing a play at first involving Boesch that happened in the 1st.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

I was just checking to see if that was the case. It was a close play that he was visibly unhappy about in the 1st.
 
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 thought Boesch was safe, but it's within the latitude if you ask me, of human error...

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

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