Our pitchers can't cover first

 

[biggunsbob]

Foley gets out of a jam of his own making. Heading to the top of the 9th.
Tigers lead 6-2

 

[biggunsbob]

Our pitchers can't cover first

Sadly this happened in a the 2006 World Series we lost four games to one against a freaking 83 win team :/

 

[biggunsbob]

Pittsburgh pitchers can?t catch balls at first lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer had a tough day 0-5

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange pitching the 9th up 6-2

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange gets two outs. Then walks a guy on 5 pitches and the next guy gets a single. He is his own worse enemy. One batter away from tying man to the plate. Throw a damn strike on 3-2. Instead he walks the bases loaded.


Harris why didn?t you trade this guy ?

This is ridiculous.
Walk. Score is 6-3 winning run at the plate..

 

[tomdalton22]

looks like another walk, the bases are loaded.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why would anyone swing at Langes pitches ? He always seems to throw more balls then strikes.

 

[tomdalton22]

walked in a run. Should have traded that turd

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks ump

That strikeout Pitch by Holton was 5 inches up off the plate. Haase did a nice frame job pulling it down.

Lange gets two outs. Then walks a guy on 5 pitches and the next guy gets a single. He is his own worse enemy. One batter away from tying man to the plate. Throw a damn strike on 3-2. Instead he walks the bases loaded.


Harris why didn?t you trade this guy ?

This is ridiculous.
Walk. Score is 6-3 winning run at the plate..

Lange has had serious control issues for weeks, and I?m sure the scouts for the other teams that might have been interested noticed that.

 

[kalinecountry]

Eric Haase, who almost pulled a slider for a home run but missed foul in the second inning, hasn't drawn a walk since June 3.
He has a .155 batting average (and a .155 on-base percentage) with one home run in 32 games (23 starts) since June 5.

If Harris had half a brain he could have been a hero this season. This division is garbage. Just a few more hitters somewhere and the Tigers could be competing for first place.

Standings after today of this hot garbage division. Shame he won?t replace players like
Baddoo, Haase, mckinstry, Maton,Ibanez, others.

Twins??.55-54
Cleve??.53-56?..2
Detroit?.48-60?..6.5
Chicago..43-66?.13

Just need a streak ! Probably not happening with Tampa coming to town.

go 3-3 vs TB & Boston and sweep the games in bold and the Tigers will likely find themselves about 0.5 games out of first place. :cheers:
