Torres sac fly 4-3 tigers After the wild pitch.,

 

[biggunsbob]

We need some insurance runs.

 

[tigermud]

Why do we swing at first pitches after getting a base runner so many damn times. What is it going to take for this offense to get its head out of its ass

 

[biggunsbob]

I just don’t get hacking .this guy was wild . Maybe he throws another ball away getting Kerry to 2nd.

I get the Greene is trying for a homer or double, and ambush him.
Frustrating.

 

[nydo77]

swinging at a first pitch that you shouldn’t swing at.

Why do we swing at first pitches after getting a base runner so many damn times.

I don’t understand it either. Sometimes is ok. We do it all the time.

 

[gotime909]

Whoa montero is still in????? I guess we're waving the white flag

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice play by McKinstry.

 

[nydo77]

(sigh of relief).

 

[gotime909]

Well holy shit!! They won lol

 

[biggunsbob]

HEY HE DID IT ! Nice work Mr Montero !

King FETTERS Strikes again !
Reclamation proclamation!

Im shocked we win in extras. Now (4-5)
Now 19-8 in one run games.

 

[tigermud]

Whew glad we won. However the lack of patience and forcing pitchers into the zone from the offense remains very concerning it’s been going on for over a month now. What’s it going to take?

 

[biggunsbob]

Montero’s splitter does look nasty sometimes.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

How good are Detroit Tiger fans in seeing what is really going on with the team? Fans who aren’t afraid to take off the rose-colored goggles and see both the good and the bad?
Fan who are in touch with the nuances of the game?
There’s an easy way to find out just how good they are at forecasting events and outcomes. It’s from our polls.
Every week, we ask fans to vote on the hottest topics going on with the Tigers at that point. While we have the immediate results a day later, it’s often returning to those polls months later to compare the past results with what’s going on now.
Today, I’m going back to June, revisiting some of those polls and I’ve got 5 of the most interesting ones. I’m also posing a comment or question for you to consider after each voting result.
How did you do in the voting? How many did you get correct?
Would you change any of your previous votes today?
