Ernie Harwell used to call a scoreless game in the late innings are “dandy.”

“We have a dandy!”

 

[biggunsbob]

Bailey Horn in. To face the 7 , 8 , 9 hitters .

Cleveland 8th
Wilson K’s
Hedges 0-2 count single. (Very Poor pitch)
Roccho BB
Kwan doubles Trail 1-0
Pitching change Lee in
Manzardo K’s
Ramirez IBB
Santana F-7

Why use Horn ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Horn Just a shit pitch to Hedges on a 0-2 count this clown falls apart.
Freaking Horn not good today. He fell apart after that single.
Wasn’t close to the next batter on a BB.
He had no shot against Kwan. No tiger pitcher does with a runner in scoring position it seems.

Bailey Horn in this spot eh

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well crap.

There goes your perfect season.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

So basically we are going to tank a game to save the pen a day.

 

[gotime909]

Thanks dickhead aj!!! 93 pitches is just too much

I guess we can rationalize this away by looking at our wide lead in the division, and a couple players still effectively going through spring training, coupled with trying out our AAA pitchers to see how they do in pressure situations.

Fair enough, gotta make a deal for another arm or two though.

Let's hope so.

 

[gotime909]

Fry can't hit lefties. Why the hell did aj bring in a righty?????

 

[nydo77]

We need some pretty intense focus coupled with a bit of luck to get that run back off of Clase. Neither has been present in the first eight innings.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 9th
Clase in.
Tork HBP (McKinstry pr) Sb
Perez F-7
Dingler 6-3
Meadows K’s

Wild pitch scores ZM 1-1 .


This ump is bad. 1st pitch was so off the plate it was a embarrassing call
2nd base ump also has Cleveland. Easy review call to safe.

 

[jas5lf]

lol!

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

One way to tie the game. Meadows stares at two balls down the middle

Try and force extras

 

[biggunsbob]

This pen just has to get better.
Lee still in
Double
Popout cf.
G-3 (ball finds McKinstry) flips to Lee.
Lineout to JB at third

Great job Lee !

It looks like we got a bit of both just in time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeney Three Jack to left field !
4-1 tigers !

That Sweeney’s first homer off a fastball !

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well crap.

There goes your perfect season.

I told you guys not to worry.
