Hanifee

Walker 6-4-3

Damn it. Few batters Late.

Tigers trail 4-3




We Finally score a few runs for Jack and he fails to hold them down..
First homer was worse because walker is a ..190 hitter. That was a bad
Pitch. You could tell he was fighting himself on the mound before that pitch too..

Tigers 7th

Ph Ibanez weak popout to 2nd.
Sweeney BB (steals)
Dingler K’s. (Those pitches were right down the middle)

We really need another homer badly. We only have 3 freaking hits.

 

[biggunsbob]

Diaz E-6 (throw) to first
Smith E-6 (throw’) (Taylor made double play)
Dubon single 2rbis trail 6-3. (Did he bat flip on a single) ?
McCormick… K’s
Peña Double
Pitching change (Lee) (need strikeouts) nope
Altuve 4-3 rbi (trail 7-3)
Alvarez singles rbi (trail 8-3)
Last batter F-9 (Greene is amazing)

 

[biggunsbob]

There was zero reason for Sweeny to rush that double play no matter how hard he was thinking about the first error.
Instead of a 4-3 game . It’s 8-3.
With only 3 hits chances are slim we comeback from 5.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 8th
Carpenter popout 3rd.
Torres BB
Malloy F-8
Green Hr 2 RBIs trail (8-5) 358 feet.
Tork. k’s


3 freaking homers and we trail 8-5. I hate errors.
Taylor made double play and Sweeny chokes it.

 

[gotime909]

Sweeney has to go. Can't hit and can't field. He's not ready. We need 1 of the outfielders to get back so javy can go back to ss.

 

[biggunsbob]

Astros 8th
Holton (in a 3 run game) isn’t that strange ?

Walker 5-3
Diaz single
Smith popout 2nd
Dubon 1-3

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney has to go. Can't hit and can't field. He's not ready. We need 1 of the outfielders to get back so javy can go back to ss.

Pretty sure we would be up 5-4 if he makes that Taylor made double play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well sadly we need a grand slam of runs to get the lead in the 9th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th

Ibanez F-9
Sweeny (He had zero shot against this guy) K’s
Dingler double
Baez K’s (ball foot out of strike zone)

Baez fouls ball off foot. Looks ouch

 

[biggunsbob]

Dumb to start colt over your hottest hitter McKinstry.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers hit 3 homers and freaking lose. Maybe tomorrow we bounce back. We need a shortstop with a damn arm



Malloy under .196
Sweeny .205
Jung .133 (do like his play at third so far)
Keith .176 (Has no position he can play)
I guess they do draw some walks.


we can’t seem to get these two to hit at the same time.
Greene .234. Is going up
Tork .245. Man he is so unlucky on som hard hit balls.
He is playing so good at first. Man I want him to hit .270or higher

 

[biggunsbob]

First time in like forever we have lost the first game of a series.
