Again I wish WP would wait till 3-2 count so Greene can be running. But I get it. Frustrating
Flaherty just stinks.

 

[tigermud]

.500 baseball in the second half. Just not going to cut it.

 

[nydo77]

I guess we don’t have any pitchers on hand with command anymore.

 

[biggunsbob]

I see Montero joined the 1-2 count homer club.
This staff. My god. Only 1 reliable starter.

 

[nydo77]

Sigh. This pitcher has more base on balls than innings thrown in his last 7 games, so let's swing at a couple balls.....and turn a bb into an out.

 

[tigermud]

When was the last time the tigers had a late inning come from behind win, seems like forever ago

Not swinging at stuff a foot above the strike zone would be a good start, Zach.

 

[biggunsbob]

Mckinstry chases a waste pitch.
Sigh

When was the last time the tigers had a late inning come from behind win, seems like forever ago

The last walk off was the 1-0 win against the Astros in the bottom of the 10th (base on ball walk off). The last come behind win was against the Angels on August 8th; 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th for a 6-5 win.

Feels like they used to do that all the time last year in the second half. The confidence is gone.

 

[tigermud]

We got Sweeney leading off the 9th how did that happen.

Pinch running for JHen.

We've been sitting in first place for too long. The focus is gone.

 

[nydo77]

And Colt follows McKinstry in swinging at high garbage. And Gleyber swings himself right out of a walk twice, just like last at bat. Game over.

 

[tomdalton22]

Ever since Harris took over they have been on a mission to stock the system with position players because the last GM seemed to focus on pitching. Now the system has no pitching. Harris and co. seem to have no clue when it comes to pitchers.

 

[tigermud]

Chase chase and chase some more

Not impressed
