Jack his own worst enemy.
4 walks and his error

I have always said that if the pitcher is the one that had the error, the runs should count against his ERA. He did earn them!

 

[tomdalton22]

I wonder if Flaherty is going for the Tigers record for walks given up in a game.

Add two more walks to that total to start the 4th…the last a 4 pitch walk

 

[nydo77]

The Tigers have already burned 8 of their 9 lives in this game.

When did MLB games start at 11:00 AM? I was finishing up an article I was writing for an SC paper. Sorry that I missed the game thread.

Vierling watch’s two strikes go by, then swings at high cheese.

This was timed around Patriots Day, and the Boston Marathon.

Disappointing half inning, after a great start.

 

[biggunsbob]

1st and 3rd no outs. A run in and the next three batters all strikeout.

Vielrling k
Lee k
Rogers K .

No one puts the bat on the ball.
Espically those 1st two hitters.
No one shorten up with two strikes at all.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well Holton is garbage today.
AJ over using him ?
And Keith isn't a good 1st basemen .


All of Holtons walks on 4 pitches including to Story whi is 1-14 in the series with 9 punchouts. That's all his walks this year. All on 4 pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Well Holton is garbage today.

I told you yesterday in the game thread, the pitchers on Sunday would be hurting if they pitched today, 12 to 15 hours later.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dickerson said that the challenge was Bs. On the radio.
Perez was safe. They had no clear ands conclusive view.
Which it was not according to Dan .

 

[tomdalton22]

the pen shit the bed today

 

[kalinecountry]

the pen shit the bed today

I expected it. Breaking even in a 4 game series here in boston is okay with me. We actually had a chance at 3 wins except for game 1.

Corey Julks should be on the Tigers' radar as a Wenceel Pérez replacement.

Garbage pen losses today’s game. Feels like they gave this game away to me.

Anderson seems like a complete bust so far. 7.97 era
He needs to be optioned out if he has any options Left.
