I don’t want anyone to tell me Morton missed his spot on a damn 1-2 pitch. That ball has to be in the dirt or off the plate. If it’s 3-2 then so be it. Im tired of these clowns not using the count to thier advantage.
Charlie had 2 more pitches to play with.

Throws a freaking 81 mph whatever pitch center cut.
To freaking Soto ! Just so stupid.

He didn’t have anything reliable today.

 

[nydo77]

What was Ibanez looking for?

 

[biggunsbob]

He didn’t have anything reliable today.

He still had 2 more pitches to a guy who has k’d 116 times.
No excuses on that count. Maybe 2-2

Javy doing his usual crap, swinging at three balls, and watching one fastball middle middle

You are presuming that he could control where any of his pitches were headed.

 

[biggunsbob]

What other starters were available at the deadline ?

Throw it in the dirt. Just not there. Gotta try
Fastball up.
Fastball off.
Curve in the dirt.
I keep looking at where that 81 mph the box. Yikes !

 

[kalinecountry]

Manea is manure, but Morton is all over the place dog shit. This is going to be their downfall in the playoffs, lack of reliable starters after Skubal.

 

[nydo77]

Let’s see if Sommers can throw strikes.

Not a fan of the way AJ used his pitchers today.

Hindsight


Leaving Sommers in recipe for losing the game.
Sommers cant get rhb out consistently.
Sommers cant get any batters out consistently.
Hey AJ > Have you seen enough of Sommers ?

 

[gotime909]

8 runs get scored before they use Melton. **** Harris and **** AJ!!

Our go-to left handed pitcher has been Trevor; now we have none. That actually was a good pitch to Soto; we were just set up badly, with Tork halfway to 2nd base. Now bad fielding on top of that. Mets have had a lucky day with short singles; hopefully we can catch up.

What other starters were available at the deadline ?

Melton and Montero are better options still and they won't use them as starters

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 6th
Jones Bunt single
Torres fc 4-3
Perez line out to left center diving catch
Tork (3-2) K’s looking . Damn right down the middle.
Looking for something else i guess.

Agree good call. If either start this game we are way ahead.

Must been set up that way for a reason. I agree but disagree. melton should started the inning. No way he allows 3 runs.
I know they need another lefty. But sadly it’s not Sommers.
Feels like in a 9-6 game you are wasting Melton unless you come back and win. So we get 9 more outs to try and do just that.
