They've done their jobs all year, for the most part. It's the rest of the lineup that is the issue.

I wasn't trying to be a wise guy. I was thinking more in the line that those two have been carrying the Tigers for much of the season. And, if anybody can get us somewhere it would seem to be those two.

I realize it's not a big leap to state this obvious point.

6-3, 2 out in the 6th, and we're still not out of danger.

I'll give him this: it's more intelligent than some of the stuff I come up with when I get good and ****ed off at this team.

Case in point: if we blow this 6-1 lead. It's now 6-4.

Delmon wraps one around the Pesky Pole.

7-5, top 8.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Dear Mr. Benoit:

Thank you for the clean 8th inning. It was much appreciated by all of us. It was just what we wanted.

However, we would appreciate it if you would refrain from tossing the ball underhanded to Mr. Fielder, over there at 1st base, when you find yourself on the 3rd base side of the mound.

Thank you,

Tiger fans.

Dear Mr. Berry:

Please do not get picked off again.

Warm regards,

Hammer

He was safe, but if you insist... make 12 pack a day Jimmy run him instead of being a decoy. I'm sick of his overmanagement.

It's not a matter of jim sending him because he has the green light about 65% of the time, but he has to be comfortable with going.In other words most of the time it's on him to go or not. What i've been impressed with is how he has adjusted and improved himself significantly in pretty much every phase of the game.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

He was going, on the prior toss over there. He also leads the team in steals.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

I don't think he has carte blanche to steal anytime. Leyland wasn't going to take the bat out of Cabby's hands in that situation. This umpiring crew has been awful to boot and that call was on par, and, of course it happened right after Rod piped in with the "he doesn't have a good move to first at all."
Berry, if he did have the green light, waited too long during that at bat to go anyway. Why take a ginormous lead if you are shackled OR if you choose not to run?

agreed it was late. Actually if you ask me, the lead should be the same whether you are going or not otherwise you are telegraphing and out. But yeah 2-1 is the ideal count to go on depending on the pitchers stuff and what has been thrown up to then. And really, in Boston you have to expect that they are going to get the calls most of the time.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

No problem at all with that move. Kelly's offense did not justify his place on the roster, especially as a bench player.

Single run, but for once, it's in the 2nd inning. Maybe this will be different.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Thank you, Cleveland outfielder brought up today. Line drive hit out to him in left, just as he's running in on it he ducks out of the way and it gets by him for a triple along with a run scored. On the replay he had his sunglasses flipped up, despite playing left field when the sun should be in his eyes anyway.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Boesch just misplayed a ball in right, but it didn't consist of a sun-blinded swan dive.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Dammit. I had the homer light loaded.

Fielder doubles in two. 3-1.

Jeebus. Cleveland's LF couldn't throw the ball into the ocean while standing on a battleship.

5-1, bottom 4.
