Sorry I thought they were off today.

Heads up I will not be able to post the thread Friday

 

[biggunsbob]

Does anyone like Comerica Park ? I really dislike this park.

Astro’s pitcher had an 6 era to start today .
He Is mowing us down. 6 K’s in three innings.

The Best Catcher In Baseball Is Dead. Long Live The (New) Best Catcher In Baseball.

Dillon Dingler’s newfound power has him anchoring the Tigers and sitting atop the WAR leaderboards.

A lot of unforced McGonigle errors in the past week, believe it or not, he is only hitting .250 since May 1.

Ben Malgeri more useful in 5 AB than Jahmai was in 6 weeks.

In its next CBA, the league is proposing a max contract length of 5 yrs for free agent players switching teams, 6 years to retain their own players. No deferred contracts. Qualifying offer is gone too. Also, 5 years to free agency for players 30 or older.

That was close. Almost a homer caught by Greene.

Hey Hitters !
Can you give your pitdhers some support !

 

[nydo77]

Hang a slider, get an infield pop out. That’s the Tigers, jumping on those mistakes….

 

[nydo77]

Hang another slider, get a k.

 

[biggunsbob]

If we could only hit.

Does anyone like Comerica Park ? I really dislike this park.

I’d like it better if the offense was built for it

 

[biggunsbob]

Garbage hitter after garbage hitter.

Tork .211.
McKinstry .180
Outman .159


Mowed down by a 5.48 a pitcher now.

 

[tigermud]

This is pathetic

 

[biggunsbob]

On cue tiger pitcher gives up a 0-1 count 87 mph homer to right.
To a hitter who only has 1 homer.

 

[tigermud]

That’s probably the game as we can hit our way out of a wet paper sack

 

[biggunsbob]

It’s a shame we don’t have an offense that can support the starters.

 

[biggunsbob]

Kerry was ahead 3-0 and ends up popping out to left on
3-2. So frustrating.

 

[biggunsbob]

We throw 86 mph over the plate it gets clobbered.
We just swing right over it or foul it off.
Dingler k’s on slow crap.

 

[tigermud]

We just made that lousy astros pitcher look like a cy young candidate tonight

Absolutely disgusting

 

[biggunsbob]

We can’t even manufacture any runs because we can’t bunt guys and or bunt go get on base . We don’t move runners over at all it seems.
Plus we seem really slow.

Greene hacks at first pitch Can of corn to RF.
