Wow, gamecast make that one looked like it was CRUSHED.

This is time for Porcello to grow up. Either recover here or you might need some more seasoning in the minors. I think he can compete up here, but he has to get it together now. We can;t afford to carry him right now in a pennant chase.

Porcello with 29 pitches,

tie game.

I missed that inning...kind of glad.

 

[jdbaker1]

I think the last 5 batters have all put the ball in play on the 1st pitch.

 

[Thumb]

I really hate that little Italian kid.

 

[jdbaker1]

At least mudhen took more than 1 pitch to get out.

 

[kalinecountry]

that f'n giavatella fongoola robs Avila of a hit,

now hosmer robs Betemit of a double down the line,

crap 2 batters 2 pitches 2 outs,

mudhen takes low, takes a strike, 2 seam on the corner strike call, another 2 seam with tailback and shithookraburn is called out on strikes,

adcock with 13 pitches.

Why is it that in nearly every game the opposing pitcher enjoys low pitch counts in several innings? Too aggressive at the plate?

must be the game plan with legendary lloyd.

I think Lloyds advice is swing early, swing often.

Porcello 3rd inning,

escobar grounds out to Betemit,

gordon called out on strikes finally,

melkyc bunts in front of the plate and Avila throws to Cabrera,

Porcello with 39 pitches.

 

[jdbaker1]

Rick keeping his pitch count down so far today.

 

[jdbaker1]

Could it kill anyone to not swing at the 1st pitch this inning. I realize that statistics show that a pretty high percentage of 1st piches go for hits but when a guy has 13 pitches through 2 innings it is time to make him work a bit.

 

[jdbaker1]

This is just bizarre.

 

[Thumb]

Ramon should not sit another game this season, not only is he great on defense, he is swinging a decent stick too.

 

[Thumb]

LOL Ajax and Santiago tell us to STFU about swinging at first pitches.


Still don;t like it.

 

[jdbaker1]

Are they really pitching to Miggy?

 

[jdbaker1]

Still don;t like it.

I completely agree.

Tigers 3rd inning,

Kelly takes a strike, fly to left,

Jackson first pitch liner right past the pitcher for a single,

Santiago lines another first pitch to right for a single,

Young slider in the dirt gets away but no advance, tailback fastball strike call, high chop to first play is to first pitcher covering,

Cabrera in the dirt wild pitch gets away and Jackson slides in safe, Santiago to third, grounder to second,

Tigers lead 2 - 1,

adcock with just 22 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.
