Have our Tigers done anything vs. wacha since he was with the cardinals?

We scored three off of him last week, and won. The other three starts were all no decisions for him, with only a few runs scored. He gave up 4 runs early last season for a Tigers win.

Tork walks
Perez pops out.
McKinstry singles
Rogers. .180 hitter

Rogers has a very high batting average against Wacha, which is probably why he is in. He just maintained it. Sweeney of course, doesn't, and he maintained that as well.

Glad they didn’t have their regular CF out there today.

Different game, just wanted to share this with ya.
Nothing better than a moment that makes the broadcasters go completely silent.

Jake average is up to .194 now. He is playing because Dingler needs a rest and like you said he hits this pitcher. No way after a Night game to a day game would dingler play.

Glad Jake got a hit ! He waddles his way to 3rd !

The boy paid for his pair of close seats and cones; I guess he feels entitled. Edit- Ok, they weren't both eating cones; she had an ice cream sandwich.

Skubal gets Garcia 0-2 and cant get him out
Fouls of pitches. We need a lead off hitter like that.

Gets Witt Jr to foul out to end the inning !

Skubal at 71 pitches through 5 innings.

 

[nydo77]

I have the Mets game on television, and the announcers just heaped effusive praise on Riley, adding on that he is an "unbelievable outfielder, a human highlight reel, an amazing, intelligent, and thoughtful players in the game". The media hype has turned him into a baseball god. They did manage to mention his strikeout pace, and said that he has a huge uppercut, and Keith (Hernandez) might have a word on that (he didn't).

Tigers 6th

Greene K’s looking
Tork 5-3
Perez singles (RF)
McKinstry 5-3

Bottom 6th 4-0 tigers

Look I get swing on a 3-1 pitch because you think you will get a strike but up 4-0 why not wait for a 3-2 pitch ? You may walk ? It frees up the runner to score on a double. Why not Take on 3-1 with two outs ?
Just my opinion.

 

[nydo77]

The Tigers have certainly done better with risp today.

That’s a good point and would make way too much sense.

Im a rogers fan. I just miss his homers. He use to hit them.
Next season can you carry a .200 backup catcher ?

He didn’t get an error ?

For some reason out fielders never get errors on balls not touched, they should, but they don’t.

 

[nydo77]

Why walk Loftin on four pitches? I never understand completely losing the strike zone against the weakest link in the lineup. Luckily fixed by a double play.
