Lee thought he had Naylor K’d on the 1-2 pitch. Ump has been calling

Sweeney, Ibanez, and Badoo against Clase; not holding my breath on this one.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th
Trail 3-1 Clase in .

Sweeney (0-2) k’s on a damn waste pitch high.
PH-Malloy (3-0) (3-1) a .200 hitter is swinging on a 3-1 pitch when you need a base runner Hey dipshit take another pitch !
Vierling F-9

Lose 3-1.

Tigers have 1 run scored last 19 innings. Going back three games.
1+9+9 . With a chance to bury Cleveland the Tigers start series flatter then damn pancakes.

Sweeney, Ibanez, and Badoo against Clase; not holding my breath on this one.

Last 2 games proves Baddoo should not be on the roster. Im starting to worry about Andy too. Not sure why he is even hitting against a RHP let alone starting and getting 3 at bats.

With runners at 1st and 3rd one out. Andy had. Really poor at bat.
Manufacturing runs with less than 2 outs has been an issue last few years.

 

[biggunsbob]

It’s time to send Malloy back down too. He is only batting .200.
In the 9th needing a base runner and him being our walk guy swings at a 3-1 Count pitch.

Im starting not be sure about Carpenter in the lead off spot. We need Meadows’s back for the lead off spot.

Not good news on Gleyber Torres.

The article never mentions that the tigers have a lot more than Ibanez that can play second. McKinstry, Keith, and Ibanez .

Im starting not be sure about Carpenter in the lead off spot. We need Meadows’s back for the lead off spot.

When Vierling, Meadows and Perez are all back you will see Malloy and Badoo exiting. Irritating how they choke against Cleveland. You are right about the at bats. Looking at pitches well in the box and swinging at the balls, lots of misses on pitches shoulder high. One run in two games and they should have had at least two more runs. They gave up on aggressive base running losing one run. I absolutely hate Cleveland worse than any other team.

 

[Oldenslow]

Sweet
1st two tiger hitters see 3 pitches.
Keith gets a two out double.
Sigh Dingler swings at 1st pitch and grounds out.

Tigers are having horrendous ridiculous at bats. Cleveland has come to play. Detroit has to get with it.
