Chafin worked in inning at Toledo - 3 base runners....but no runs.

raymond and larkin both have the same problem, whether they play together or separately, they don't have the guy on the ice with them they need, which is a bigger stronger, hard to play against guy to fight for pucks and offer some physical buffer for them. In the NHL every skill player needs his body man - nothing has changed on that score since Gretzky/Messier. And of all people Yzerman knows that from personal experience probably better than any GM in the league, has yet to do anything about it.

Olson has been a little erratic so far this year. But even tonight he would have worked out of most of it but for a goofball ump.

Nerves are going to be shot with a whole season of Kahnle closing.

we seem to be stuck at two....

two......

one down...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr once-we-couldn't-even-give-him-away Will Vest.

Vest already at 15 pitches -

Riley needs a day off.

javy being useful!

Game is in the bag, our best player is leading off! <g,d&R>

I think Beau probably pitched over his level last season. Don't want to have to rely too much on him this season.

Just don't think about the fact that you were K'd twice in that AB but not rung up. Ya' play 'em as they lie though!

the Kid's are alright. and Fletcher is an equal opportunity hack.

Willi has never had soft hands.

this is the part of the line-up to get some add-ons.

Don't Tiger relievers warm up right? How does a team whose BP pitches pretty well in general walk so many lead off men?

But that is at least in part because Jason also gives him a lot more spaces than Dan does.

McKinstry gets to 3rd. Still no out

Do not go gentle into that good night.

What an AB from #20

what an odd pitching pattern. Spotting perfect FBs a the top corner than missing every change.

Well let's see if Riley can rouse his sleeping bat against a RHP

Bad night for the troops. Fletcher was no doubt in Reese's head, for good reason.
