Tigers roster moves:
Drew Sommers selected from Triple-A Toledo.
Alex Lange optioned to Triple-A Toledo to open a spot for Sommers on the 26-man roster.
Ryan Kreidler is designated for assignment to open a spot for Sommers on the 40-man roster.

 

[biggunsbob]

I don’t get the Lange Move? Can you tell from one outing if a pitcher has it or not ? Lange has gotten out of some bases loaded jams. He does have a nice curveball. ..I guess they need a lefty.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mize in first innings. Right ?

A freaking 1-2 count soft bloop hit. Come on Mize.. so frustrating.
That will help the pitch count. 643.
Two out single, and another two out single.
F-7 hit hard.
3 hits by KC.

 

[jas5lf]

Mize extremely fortunate that inning. Hard hit balls and this team doesn't strike out a lot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 1st
Keith K’s looking. (No one is bitching of a ball is called)
Torres F-8. (Homer in 8 other ballparks)
Carpenter K’s swinging.

 

[nydo77]

We had best follow Keith’s model, and try to foul off a lot of pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Max Clark is back in lineup for Erie

 

[biggunsbob]

Like fast innings for Casey .

 

[biggunsbob]

Just not a fan of hacking on the first pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger lefty’s keep swing at garbage pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Crap lead off hit from #9 hitter.
Yaz Sigh single. (He has had him to 2 strikes both at bats)
Witt jr single 1-0. (Dumb defense by us on the throw)
Vinny Pops out to 3rd.
Garcia FC (out at plate)
Perez doubles (come on Casey) he always swings at the 1st pitch 3-0.
Friazer BB
F-8

Mize not pitching very smart at all…Just awful pitching to Perez .

 

[nydo77]

Control issues

 

[biggunsbob]

Just be smarter pitching to Perez. That guy is always in hack mode.
Do not throw him a strike on the first pitch.,

 

[biggunsbob]

Didn't matter 2nd basemen would have gotten it.

 

[biggunsbob]

McKinstry puts the tigers on the board. 383 feet .
Trail 3-1 now. Zm’s 11th homer.

Baez just stinks in the second half..

 

[biggunsbob]

Casey gives up another 0-2 hit but WP twirls and guns the dummy out at 2nd. Relatively quick inning for Mize.
