1 -1.. freaking pen ruins Olson's
Great Start.

Perfect pitch didn't get call to next batter finally gets the k.

He freaking went ump should have struckout.
4-3 inning over.

Top 9th 1-1

Does Brieske have dirt on AJ or something?

 

[gotime909]

This bullpen is a serious problem. We need 2 top end guys

 

[gotime909]

Dammit Torres

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th
Torres BB. (Just a stupid decision to tag) He may get bailed out Review may have missed tag. Nope. Dumb.
Greene F-7
Carpenter 6-3.

Jay's pen looks better than ours so far.

 

[gotime909]

Tie game, you don't just challenge because its the 9th inning. AJ hasn't been great this series

 

[biggunsbob]

Where are these pitches ump?
Nice play Colt.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pen just blows. Or I should say subpar. Ground out runner to 3rd.

 

[gotime909]

Varsho is a tiger killer

 

[biggunsbob]

Embarrassing pen

 

[nydo77]

Too many hard hit balls straight at Blue Jays. Not our day.

 

[biggunsbob]

So guy they walked is batting .187 for a guy batting. 267. Strange. Guess because he bats both and more power.
Idk .

Our Pen just is subpar.

 

[kalinecountry]

Pitchers duel and runs at a premium. Sometimes the bullpen gives it up, today was that day.

 

[gotime909]

I wish AJ would explain why Tork is batting so low in the lineup. Batting him 5th/6th cheats him out of an at bat probably every other game. He should be 2nd or 3rd. At the very least 4th. Seeing guys like Malloy, Colt, McKinstry, Ibanez etc in front of him every day is maddening

Well look at that, tork only gets 3 at bats and ends the game on deck.

 

[kalinecountry]

Let's see if he moves Tork up a spot after that. Maybe he is batting him lower to give the players in front of him better pitches, or not to put anymore pressure on him, with his drop in average he isn't hitting the snot off the ball as regularly as before.

[biggunsbob]

Im ready for Malloy to be sent down for Vierling. But that is just me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pen is walking way to many batters.

 

[biggunsbob]

The twins will win 13th game in a row and last two games are without best two players Buxton, and Correa. They are dominating teams while our pen gives games away.
