Oh crap, It's trick or treat Flaherty pitching tonight.

Kyle Finnegan ranks among MLB's best relievers since the trade deadline (min. five appearances). 0.00 ERA (t-1st) 0.39 WHIP (t-4th) .083 AVG (t-8th). He's earned four saves since joining the Tigers, allowing two hits and one walk over 7.2 innings, while striking out 10.

The Tigers went 5-2 on their road trip, extending their American League Central lead to 8.5 games. That’s the biggest division lead in all of baseball.

Flaherty doesn't like to do it te easy way

 

[biggunsbob]

Chase, chase, chase. The tiger hitting way with 2 strikes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn that is bad luck.
Come on ump.
That was a ball to Sweeney
Sweeney fails ro put ball in play with the bases loaded.
Same old same old and
Baez fails again too.

Bases loaded no outs. This Team is awful Risp. Just freaking awful.

Damn Dingler was unlucky.

 

[coulomb]

Its a statistical improbability to load the bases with no outs and not score one run.

Tigers seem to be really good at it.

One a game it seems.

 

[kalinecountry]

Alex Lange will be the 32nd pitcher used by the Tigers this season (not including Jake Rogers and Tomas Nido). They used 25 all of last year (not including Zach McKinstry).

Poor Jack. Never seems ro get any run support.

 

[gotime909]

Sweeney has to go

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeny already has his hit qouta for the week next seven days. Maybe it's a time to give Cruz a shot ?

 

[biggunsbob]

I just do not understand tiger at bats with runners on 3rd and less then two outs. Need deep fly balls. So frustrating we can't get them.

 

[biggunsbob]

This guy has a 6.36 and we can't score on this clown .

 

[gotime909]

So when is Flaherty gonna have his blow up?

 

[coulomb]

The fact that Javy still bats ninth tells me that AJ thinks this "Javy has learned how to hit again" reality is a mirage.

 

[coulomb]

So when is Flaherty gonna have his blow up?

Typically its the 5th. But he made it through that.

 

[tomdalton22]

Keith has been pretty good at the plate this year. I wonder what their future plan is (defensively) for him.

 

[tomdalton22]

This guy has a 6.36 and we can't score on this clown .

there you go!

 

[tigermud]

Glad they finally got to spaghetti arm as I was about to launch into a tirade. Whew

 

[biggunsbob]

I had to walk dog before the rain. I saw Perez homer then the rain hit as we were walking and I put my phone in plastic to protect it. Walk in the door a see we are up 5-0 ! Then I see that my dogs glow in the dark collar fell off . So I had to back track to find it. Come back and we are up 6-0 !

Give Jack a standing Ovation !
