Tigers get back to back k walks from Spencer and Ibanez .

.

Then Baez strikes out and carpenter bounces out. .
Inning over.

 

[biggunsbob]

Stupid 1-2 pitch to Jung gives Rangers 1-0 lead.
Radio broadcast said Roger's was setting up outside
It was low and over the plate. I just don't get pitchers
Using the count when they are ahead.

Nice running catch by Tiger cf off a ball that was
Smoked saves another run.

Top 2nd
Trail 1-0.

 

[biggunsbob]

Back to back hits off 0-2 counts by Marisnick (triple) and
Vierling (single) give tigers 2-1.

Dickerson on radio broadcast is wondering why Spencer
Can't hit a 91 mph fastball ?

 

[biggunsbob]

What the heck happened to Olson ?
Was walking into meijers ?

Ticket has Holton in now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Olson left because of a injury. Ball off the knee.


Tigers calling it a knee contusion.

 

[biggunsbob]

Another homer to Duran 2-2 . Not sure it was a 1-2 or -2-2 count
Pitch. After some fouls.

Don't throw him a strike please make him chase.

Single
Pitching change 1 out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Top of the 5th. Finally today a a Tiger batter hits the fastball ! Both the tv and the radio broadcast were talking about Tiger misses on

His 10 homer.

3-2 Tigers !

Texas 5th

F-8
Double
G-3 (2outs)
2-1 count . (I?m telling you pitch 4th was a strike) 3-2 count, Foul, foul, foul, foul5-3 nice play by JS at third.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 6th.

Schoop swings at the first pitch F-7
Rogers 3-0, 3-1, 3-2 ,foul BB
Short 0-1, 0-2, foul, foul out to First.
pH mckinstry F-7

Not sure I agree with taking the best cf we have out in the 6th with 2 outs when he tripled in the 2nd.
I understand this is what AJ does. But I?m and not sure about it .

 

[biggunsbob]

Texas 6th

Englert in

Line out to short.
Sigh Taveras ties it up with a bomb to cf. 3-3 (ball was groved right down the middle)
O-2, 1-2. Line out to 3rd.
1-3 . Softly hit.


(Rangers are smoking the ball off Englert).

Tigers 7th

Vierling 0-2 Single
Spencer T. 0-1, 1-1, 2-1 count, 3-1, BB
Ibanez squares. 0-1, swings. 0-2 count single ! 4-3 Tigers
Baez bloop single to Rf bases loaded. (Not sure Spencer could score off a better read) probably not, (not sure)
Rangers Pitching change LHP
Carpenter. 0-1 count, 0-2 count, K?s on a terrible waste pitch .pitch wasn?t close
Schoop is fucking worthless as is this whole fucking team with bases loaded. Swings at first pitch yet again and 6-4-3 later
Tigers fail yet again with bases loaded.

Why is schoop swinging on every damn first pitch ? He never works any counts at all anymore. 1 out bases loaded make the damn pitcher work for it. I?d rather see this idiot try to bunt a run in over him swinging at the first pitch.

Agree and they should have double digits in runs .

According to tv Spencer has been working on some stuff. I think
They said standing closer to the plate (I think)

3 homers in the four game series.

If we could just get Baez, Spencer, greene all smacking ball at same time.
