Game 5: Orioles @ Tigers Thread

[Mitchrapp]

Avila caught JV on opening day, and he had a 2/3 ratio.. which is even worse, obviously.

Sample size - small.

 

[Thundercats]

Sample size - small.

So was the sample size he used against Holaday. Just saying. The one common of the two? JV is walking as many as he is striking out. Not good.

Cabrera did not help in hat last at bat grounding out on a 3- pitch!

 

[lonesometiger]

3-1 count...Even the best should try and get the tying run to the plate :/

once and awhile...

agree it would make V-Mar at bat better

We sure could have used a walked there :/

 

[lonesometiger]

And there a double Cabrera!

Have you not watched him, 200+ k each of the past 4 years. He's not going to get less than a 100.

We have this dumb Avila vs the backup catcher of the week every fucking year. Every year it's probably gonna be the same outcome. A pitcher is normally going to have worse numbers with a catcher he's not used to.

This team just dos not used there head sometimes in late innings atbats!

I'm not saying he will. I'm just concerned that he is so inconsistent with his strikeout rate since the beginning of 2013.

I mean Miggy has the green light... But why not see another pitch and then on 3-2 swing if it is close? baseball 101.... 3-1 count down 2 runs in the ninth.... Get on base anyway possible...

What is your issue with Avila?

 

[biggunsbob]

We need a bam-a-lish-ish...

8.9 per nine last year? Not many better than that..

 

[gotime909]

Tyler Collins is gonna tie it up!!

 

[lonesometiger]

It's up to the rooks now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sit on the damn change-up, and jack it

 

[biggunsbob]

Ball was 6 inches outside..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Still a good week.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well 1 run....

Lost because of no hitting today
