  1. My theory is not the to leave the guy in after he gets two tough outs because he'll let down. Hope I'm wrong.
  2. CV has been squeezing everyone tonight, which is probably why 13 runs have been scored.
  3. AAAAAnnnd he puts the tying run at the plate.
  4. I'm glad the 2nd best average hitter on our team had been pinch hit for earlier......
  5. Both BPs have pitched well. I thought they had a shot when they pushed Aroldis to nearly 20 pitches because sometimes he runs out of gas but he still had plenty in the tank against Tork.
  6. Hinch brings the OF in with one out and the man on 2nd. Lange gets the K and Bradley gets his chance to complete his night with a walkoff.
  7. Can't say that I've ever seen an umpire help a catcher fix the lacing on this glove before tonight. Couldn't have been for anyone other than Perez...
  8. It's Jackie Bradley's world and the Tigers are just livin' in it.
  9. and he gave an extra base back on the questionable route on the Lopez triple. He's kind of Russian Roulette outfielder. Not in the Ryenne Reybourne class but just a little bit erratic. But he's hitting tonight.
  10. Riley doesn't seem to be seeing the ball at all tonight, but Tork looks some kind of confident at the plate.
  11. also clears a roster spot at AAA - Keith ready for a promotion?
  12. Odd bird: Bats right, throws left.
  13. Maybe, or maybe not. While AI has the potential for tremendous mischief it also has the potential to finally persuade people to stop believing what they see in electronic images, which to be honest, have been manipulated for us in some form or another since ~1948. Probably won't happen, but I can hope.
  14. pretty much. That all said, he still goes to his right better than anyone they have put out there this season - well maybe excluding Kreidler, whom we hardly saw.
  15. That's a MIG35(?) photoshopped into AFU colors. Here is the F16 in that livery.
  16. Yet stars don't get injured any less than scrubs and injuries create as much career inconsistency as anything. Stars may be more consistent when on the field but but being on the field may be the bigger challenge for the modern athlete trained to within an inch of his breaking point. You really can't count on any player any more.
  17. yup - Manning and Turnbull down puts you exactly at starter #7. And Manning's 4-6wk toe has turned into mininum 8. Sounds like we may see Skubal before we see Manning or Turnbull, and he will be rusty.
  18. If you squint there might be the beginnings of some relilable guys in there. Of these team, I'm good with Baez, Greene, Tork, McKinstry; and Baddoo is turning into a decent OBP guy. The rest (Maton, Ibanez, Vierling, Haase, Rogers ) are all big question marks to me.
  19. that is why I'd rather have 9 ML average players than 5 good ones and 4 bad ones. Not that the Tigers even have 5 good ones, but philosophically I'm not a fan of chasing batting stars to build a lineup - just save me from the automatic outs. Work hardest to improve the worst guy in the lineup, I don't think spending the effort at top end pays off as much.
