Number 31 for Riley Greene as he hit one off Seth Lugo. He is now four home runs away from breaking the record of home runs by a Tigers' player who was drafted in the MLB Draft. Tony Clark has the record at 34.

Greene was ripped on that strikeout. Ball was off the plate inside.

 

[biggunsbob]

A’s pitcher gets the close call. Skubal does not and his hit the box.

 

[biggunsbob]

Rays 9 Guardians 0 Final.
White Sox 7 Royals 0 Final.
Jays 10 Twins 4 Final.

 

[biggunsbob]

Perez come on Mr lazy. Gets caught off third with 1 out.
Tigers waste a scoring chances in the 1st and 2nd.
So far 0-3 RISP

Perez come on Mr lazy. Gets caught off third with 1 out.

Well that right there, that just blows chunks

 

[tinselwolverine]

Damn, that is one stupid little baseball stadium right there in West sac

 

[tinselwolverine]

West Sacramento is about a 5 1/2 hour drive for me. Don’t think I’m gonna bother to go I don’t know. I’ll sleep on it.

 

[tinselwolverine]

That put out by Perez on third with only one out really chaps my ass. How stupid can you be?

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney is always starting 0-2 it seems.
Then K’s looking.
When is enough an enough for TS ?

 

[tinselwolverine]

You see all those stupid people laying out on the grass in the stands? Wouldn’t it be funny if one of them got hit in the head with a bad ball and it was killed just like happy Gilmore‘s wife and happy Gilmore two? She was played by Julie Bowen, who repriced her role from happy Gilmore, except in happy Gilmore. She didn’t get hit in the head with a golf ball and die.

 

[biggunsbob]

Umpire is squeezing Skubal on some pitches.
AJ had to come out and settle Skubal down .
He had words with the umpire.
(Next batter almost hit a homer) He k’d later .

This is a same crew that tossed Baez earlier this year.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man I wish the Tigers would resign Skubal. Fun guy to watch.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Let’s help this dumbass doesn’t get picked off a base in scoring position

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene was punched out on the same pitch back to back at bats.
And both were balls. First one for sure. This one was closer but still a ball. After a lead off double by carpenter tigers now 0-6 risp.

Btw this guy is getting way more close strike calls then Skubal.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Jenny Cavnar.. I guess that’s the name of the chick doing the play by play. I guess she’s the play-by-play announcer for the whatever they are A’s. The former Oakland A’s? The future, Las Vegas, Vegas, A’s? The current piece of shit West Sacramento A’s?

I don’t know.

Btw this guy is getting way more close strike calls then Skubal.

And Skubal knows it. Hopefully it turns into him mowing them down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers have had chances. Just keep wasting them.
