nice pitching max...with a strike called a ball

 

[jas5lf]

Yeah, I just read KC's post. Figures. Hafner should have been out on strikes long before that third strike call.

Scherzer with somewhat of an iffy inning, let's hope he settles down some..

 

[staegrac]

just noticed that DY is batting in the 3 hole...does smokey have something against batting JP or AA there? they have been hitting very good all year I would think he should at least give them a try, DY comes in and within one week smokey gives him a go at the 3 hole

tomlin with 7 pitch inning,

[johnny2x2x]

OMG, no patience that inning and a 7 pitch inning for Tomlin. Crud!

Raburn is a better hitter than Santiago.

they are basically even, clownburn has about double the at bats than RS, who know if RS was given the amount of chance clown has then he may be have better stats...or may be not,

No, they aren't.

Raburn is a better hitter than Santiago.

 

[tigers99888]

Teams are feeling each other out

 

[tycobb420]

Is it me, or does it seem like preseason (or fake) football is more popular this year?

 

[tigers99888]

You have got to be joking me..

 

[mjsb2]

Is it me, or does it seem like preseason (or fake) football is more popular this year?

Probably because of the lockout.
