Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread June 26

So many bad swings from Miguel this year.. Just un-used to seeing it..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Did he catch it? His glove hand cost him... To bad.... he needs to hit...

So now he has bad plays because he throws left handed. lmao.

 

[tigermud]

Cleveland gets 4 in the 9th but falls short lose 6-4

A better RF has a better chance at catching that ball then BB and you know it.. BB is not that good in the outfield.. So he was playing deep.. He almost got there.. I never said anything about the effort but everyone wants him sent down because he can't hit and is a sub-par defensive player. I right handed RF makes that play that is all I said.. You make plays and you cut down innings.. Watch the replay and his glove going acrossed his body... Good effort but not good enough to save the day... Hope that clarifies it... i am more frustrated with his lack of punch and that the Tigers keep running him out there..

 

[biggunsbob]

Time to yank this kid..

 

[tonyballs]

And yet another wasted at bat for Miggy. So tired of his mental vacations he seems to take

C'mon, man!!

 

[coulomb]

yup. that rangers "i got a hit, its about the team" hand gesture is the gayest thing ever

You said because he was the wrong hand, lmao. And the play wasn't about right or left lateral movement so range had little to for with it. He was deep because a power hitter was up. Most guys don't make that.

Too bad he wasn't right handed, lmao.

 

[gowings2004]

ugh....

 

[tazmac]

Really?!!?!?! Did that just fucking happen?!?!?

Jesus Yank Smyly now.

 

[kalinecountry]

Mitch you do know he is the worst fielder in the AL for outfielders, and yeah if a right handed outfielder was out there he would have had a better shot at it... You did see his glove cross his body right? He is just a bad fielder period.. You do understand the semantics right?

I get that but don't blame him because he's left handed. And if his arms were longer he might have gotten it too. Blame his dad, should have told him to throw RH when he was a youth.

I think Smyly and Below need to swap for a bit,

Smyly first 6 games this year earned runs, 1,0,1,1,2,1.

Last 7 games earned runs, 4,4,3,4,4,3,6.

Time for a change.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Is Smyly even around anymore? Haven't seen him in a long while.

List From KC.. So yeah i want a different RF.. If BB almost caught that ball my guess is a better defender probably has a better shot at it that was all I was saying.... Jeezz... We have to start cutting down bad innings... He better start hitting... I did not mean him having a different throwing arm I meant a different RF with a left handed glove hand has a much better shot at it... There is no question he is costing the Tigers on the field and at the plate... And the effort was there... He is just not very good..

Geez Bob but to bring up his handedness, come on. That's pretty petty. I'm not arguing he's a bad outfield, we all know that.

you mean Below?

 

[tazmac]

And DY strikes out on a pitch in the dirt again.....Oh Boy BB is up again.
