The Jays feel like a tough lineup for young Jobe. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[twentythree]

I just saw both of Akil Baddoo's defense plays in the outfield in Toronto. He stole a double and stole a single with guys on base!

Tigers notes: Injured Vierling, Meadows, Mize face simulated game test at Comerica Park

Vierling, who has been out since early spring with a rotator cuff strain, played third base for Triple-A Toledo Saturday, but he didn’t get a lot of action.

The next Zach McKinstry for the Tigers? Will they try to start recreating that with 25 year old Gage Workman a big arm infield with versatility. Learning to play OF. It's an idea, and something to watch.

short version, solid with room for improvement. and they know it. They need a high leverage arm added to the mix.

I just saw both of Akil Baddoo's defense plays in the outfield in Toronto. He stole a double and stole a single with guys on base!

Two great plays by, Baddoo.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man wasted a golden opportunity to get more runs with 2 on zero out. . Tigers get nothing. Jobe may need some run. Man those were great plays by AB. Was watching on phone in meijers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers wasting a lot of hits.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jobe non competitive pitching to Guerrero and walks him on 4 pitches .Gets ahead Varsho 0-2 and you can say he made a tough pitch but if the batter can get to it and make a hit come on. It’s not that great of a waste pitch. (Unlucky yes) but not good enough and next batter Kirk singles on a 3-2 pitch. 2-1 now. Frustrating that our offense has gone asleep since early in the game. Nice change up gets his 1st out of the inning. Man he has great stuff. Big 2nd out popout to Tork. Clement singles 2-2 . To much of the plate sigh. On the 1st pitch. Ground out to 3rd unassisted. Game tied 2-2. Lead off walks have really hurt this series.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 5th
Carpenter F-8
Torres Hbp
McKinstry K’s (on a ball)
Greene doubles (smoke to RF)
Tork K’s


Torres pretty slow. Not Close to scoring . Tigers waste another chance
To score runs. Lob’s climbing (6) so frustrating.

 

[nydo77]

Enough about the Maple leafs. You don’t need to say exactly the same thing four times in a row.

 

[gotime909]

As much as the pitchers get ahead 0-2 and then lose the batter, it feels like we're missing Jake rogers there.

 

[biggunsbob]

How many 2 strike hits are the blue jays a going to get ?

0-2 and 1-2 count bloop single to lead off 5th
Steals second.
BB was ahead 0-2 again.
Guerrero (0-2), (1-2) bounce out to Jobe
Runners advance.
Line out to Torres
5-3 inning over
Great Job !

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 6th
Sweeney F-8
Dingler singles (He is 3 for 3)
Baddoo. F-8 (1st pitch)
Baez K’s


I thought we would hit more homers in this park.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jays 6th
Strikeout
Popout Ss.

Still tied 2-2. Great half inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 7th
Lefty in pitching.
Carpenter F-9 (not deep)
Torres BB
PH- Ibanez infield single. (Dummy cut down at 3rd)
Greene (K’s on high heat)
Pitching change RHP
Tork singles RBI 3-2 tigers.,


1st pitch was a ball to Greene ump.
We just cant seem to put Greene’s and dingler hits with anything.
Between them 5 hits with zero production.

 

[biggunsbob]

Some really poor base running this series by Torres and Ibanez.
Ibanez should know they are cutting that ball off from cf.
come on. Pony league mistakes. He is just guessing.
Or maybe he threw it short.

 

[nydo77]

Why was Ibanez heading for third when he was one step beyond 2nd and watching the accurate throw already coming in to 2nd base? Pushing the odds way too far there.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey look
Another new pitcher
Another tiger relief pitcher who cant throw strikes to start.
Lead off walk.
Strikeout
Strikeout
Guerrero BB
pitching change
Lefty Hurter in
Varsho (1-2). Count. Strikeout sweeper !

My god throw freaking strikes. He has batter s 8-9-1 and he walks first batter on 5 pitches.
That’s a damn strike ump.. ridiculous.
Our pen has to stop walk guys.

3-2 top of the 8th.

 

[gotime909]

Get him. He's clearly off. Stop tempting fate AJ

 

[gotime909]

Great this turd walks 2 guys so now tiger killer Varsho comes to the plate
