I thought Short was sent to Toledo ? Why don’t these guys bring up
Max Anderson and just let Kevin play shortstop. We have to find out if any of these minor league players are any good. Now is as good a time as any.

 

[coulomb]

Short was DFAd.

Thank god they are throwing the B team out there again today. Was afraid AJ might actually change things up.

At this rate, keith and carp are going to play 40% of the games. w00P!

 

[tigermud]

They choose to keep short around over Jung and throw him back into the starting lineup what’s that say for Jung trade him then if you lost confidence in him

 

[tigermud]

LEE’s swing is too big he won’t have a large amount of success up here with that hard big swing.

 

[gotime909]

AJ is a shit manager

 

[tomdalton22]

AJ is a shit manager

No he's not...he's a genius...just ask him

 

[nydo77]

6 pitch inning for Keider.

 

[tigermud]

Too many worthless bats in this lineup

 

[tigermud]

Zach shorts career ML ave is 1.71 what are we doing?

 

[biggunsbob]

Not watching . So tried of these shit at bats. 3 freaking hits.

 

[tigermud]

Montero our new #1

Offense can’t hit their way out of a wet paper sack.

 

[biggunsbob]

We have the worst third base coach in baseball. A good relay throw and he is out by a mile. Lucky it was a short hop bad throw.I just turned the game on after wife went to bed.

Nice to see Perez and Tork getting two out hits .
3-1 tigers .

McKinstry looks lost at the plate. Makes third out.

 

[tigermud]

He was out by 6 and half Cora miles but the catcher couldn’t come up with the ball so we take the lead

 

[gotime909]

Montero our new #1

Offense can’t hit their way out of a wet paper sack.

The first chance he gets and AJ will squeeze him out of the rotation again. 2 years in a row hed fill in with good starts and dipshit aj would move him to the pen where he doesnt do well.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers waste a one out double . Kevin and Keith cant drive him in..

 

[biggunsbob]

Anderson has a hit and walk and two runs being back with Toledo .
Workman is batting .357. He is 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs and 3:runs. .

 

[biggunsbob]

Clean inning from Holton. How about some insurance runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it . Perez and Tork hit ball well but cf catches both..
frustrating.

 

[tigermud]

And just like that another loss on deck
