Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread May 19

[sggatecl]

They're demoralized, can't even play simple defense at this point. I don't know why I'm still watching this shit.

Pssst some of you act like oh well la de da lost 3 of 4 to the rumps are aces all got shelled, 2 games out of first oh well no big deal, taking after the manager perhaps half asleep and don't care

Who's saying "la de da"? I'm not happy we're losing this series, but I'm not out on the ledge just yet, there is 3/4 of the season left to play and we went though this same thing last year.

If Leyland is a convenient scapegoat for you to hang your tears on, be my guest. I'm sure it has nothing to do with a weak bullpen, or the fact that everyone not named Miguel Cabrera or Jhonny Peralta has not hit for shit this month, or that our starters have been less then stellar for the last 2 weeks.

Tigers have completely shut it down...

Defense is getting exposed this half inning, mental mistakes.

gtfo Phil,

They lack motivation and an eagerness to win, it could be a reflection of the manager, worn out and tired, no engery

And yet a few weeks ago we were the best pitching and hitting team in baseball. Is it only a reflection when things are bad?

 

[tigermud]

Maybe we'll get to see don freakin Kelly pitch yet tonight

 

[kalinecountry]

at least they don't go back in the regular season to play these guys.

this is agonizing now, Reed can't find the plate with his curve or slider.

Texas just played more fundamentally sound baseball this series. We make too many mental mistakes to be a more sound team like Texas.

Team is just underperforming, were leading the world in hitting, but just don't play winning baseball. It's still early and I haven't panicked yet, but this is a terrible loss where we did everything we could to blow it. Total clown show today.

 

[gotime909]

Come on Reed hit somebody so we can see everything this inning.

This..

He should have come out for the 6th, then Ortega in the 7th.. This team shouldn't be 2 games out of first

He pitched 2 and 2/3 innings earlier this series, and they want him available for Cleveland, which was why they only wanted him to face the Lefty.

The rumpers are a better team with the best W/L record in MLB @ their own ballpark, like the Tigers have been at CoPa. But they also currently have a much better road record, taking into consideration their division rivals all being under .500 and the other AL/NL teams that they have played.

Looks like they will take the series..hope that the Tigers will sweep & blow them out when they visit for a 3 game series just before the ASB.

Well Verlander, Sanchez, and Fister/tired BP helped them out plenty.

They quit tonight and yesterday also, it's a reflection of the manager, 5 more easy outs to complete the mail in

Well Cabrera still trying, with his bat anyways.

3 HR game.

 

[johnny2x2x]
