  1. Not many of them left.
  2. If Dingler is 'pivotal' it can only be because Lynn was standing on one foot while he typed.
  3. Granting this, I would still wager that that the additional wins that a bona fide MLB DH and his run produciton would add would be worth more fannies in the seats than this marketing of the shell of Miguel.
  4. They are holding starter's innings mostly low at Toledo, but Faedo went 4 today with no hits, one BB, 5k. Has his WHIP down to 0.89
  5. Have you been seeing the attendance in the stands? The Tigers may have some fever dream that fans are coming to see Cabrera, but the empty seats say that a dream is all it is.
  6. I can't see fans being excited about seeing ex-players come back to beat your current team. If the Tigers were the better team then player nostalgia might have more pull, but I doubt it when you all you are looking at with those two is a much higher probability of a loss.
  7. LOL - just last night Dan was saying we might have to pump the brakes because he was slowing down - he had other ideas.
  8. yup - so all the more reason you shouldn't be relying on the umps to win the game you - you need to be in protect mode
  9. I'm ususally on the other side of this complaint, but too may pitches taken today.
  10. And Baddoo takes what was pretty close to a hanger for his called K. There is such a thing as looking so hard for walks you stop swinging at hittable pitches. Are the Tigers there?
  11. again - the problem with that AB was the pitch he *didn't* swing at - 2-0 FB middle-middle.
  12. Tigers give O's an extra out, leads to a run. Have to catch the damn ball. Turnbull buring through is pitch allotment fast.
  13. Blame to go around here. Hinch was pushing his luck trying to get Boyd through the end of 6. This is a staff where you should just go ahead and steel yourself against any regrets for pulling a starter too early.
  14. Those last two runs by Boyd looking like a mangerial second guessing fest.
  15. Well, you aren't going to sweep many DHs, but it would have been nice to be competitive...
  16. and when your offense is challenged anyway it multiplies the effect when the umps do you wrong.
  17. Ibanez fails to convert threat into rally.
  18. Better AB from Vierling. Made him work.
  19. Boyd got back on track in this one but it's not looking much like the O is going to get him off the hook.
  20. Sometimes it's what you don't swing at. Riley lost that AB by taking a cookie on 3-1 instead of going after it.
  21. jeesh - that was futile half inning.
  22. At this point in his career It's also the limitation of what Boyd is. When you don't throw any harder than Matt, a hitter is going to salvage more soft contact hits that would be complete misses against a guy with harder stuff. So it's bad luck because they were able to bunch a few together, but it's also 'bad luck' that is a little more likely for Boyd a guy with better stuff.
