Thanks @Dave Christian for catching the game time.

Has anyone established the over-under on when Lorenzen goes on the IL with a shoulder injury? He has missed 68 and 107 days in each of the last two years with that.

Let's say fifth inning. Who wants that action? 😏

The opposing teams have the book on Maton. Ship him out already.....why is he hitting 5th? 3 pitch strikeout.

[Sports_Freak]

You just KNOW the announcers are really bad when I turn the volume up just to hear Johnny Kane. C-Mi should never be allowed in the booth. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

When do we score our next run?  6th inning of Sunday?

This weekend I hope.

They're fielding an offense that would not even be average in the  International league.

well, no outs and runner on 3rd.  This seems promising.

[romad1]

I wonder if Javy will expand the strike zone and swing at sliders?

[romad1]

woop woop...wild pitch scores the run!

Well, if the hitters can't hit you in, I guess you have to pray for the pitchers to wild-pitch you in.

[Jim Cowan]

Yes a run!

Baez was petulant he couldn't drive in the run so he opted to K

[romad1]

i'm in a bad mood after my daughter's softball game.   This was a rough season.  I shouldn't take it out on the Tigers...they are trying their best.

Torkelson has made strides since last season but he's over doing the team mantra. He's not just waiting for pitches to hit, he's waiting for perfect pitches. It's going to get him a lot of walks but he's not going to be much help against good pitching until he's willing to be a *little* less picky early in the count.

Bàez swings and misses with man at 3rd and nobody out. C-Mo says "good swing, that's what you want to do". Yeah, Craig. That's just about the most stupid thing you could say.

20 home run...75 RBI and a .240 BA? Good enough? I say no. How long do we give him? 2 more years? Remember Harris didn't draft him. There's not going to be any loyalty from the front office.

This goes back to my ongoing criticisms of Craig Monroe: he talks like he’s still in the clubhouse, using clubhouse nicknames for the players, which makes me roll my eyes; he’s a “let’s go, boys!” rooter behind the mic, which makes me roll my eyes; and he’s basically a PR manager for the players, spinning anything that’s suboptimal into bland positives because hey, he’s gotta be around those guys the next day, so he's gotta watch what he says.

Actually, "'he's gotta watch what he says" may not be even exactly true. Maybe he doesn't have to watch what he says at all because he's been steeped in elite jockocracy since probably at least high school, with all the language and thought processes attendant to it, so he's probably hard-wired to say the thing that most supports the guys.

Either way, it's pretty amateurish.

On que Monroe says "Badoo needs to make Graveman work " and after Badoo flys out on the first pitch the next statement by Monroes is "Badoo trying to impact the game with his elite power"...

[Dave Christian]

Extra innings.

[chasfh]

I am getting sick of pop-ups and bat slams.

[Tigermojo]

Flip the calendar and now nobody can hit.
