After a day off, you come out with Wentz? Haven't we seen enough outta this guy?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

well, they managed to not give up the lead till the 3rd inning. moral victory?

[AZTigersfan]

I look forward to the day that Wentz does not pitch for our team anymore.  

[gehringer_2]

Joey,  Wentz our lead?

[gehringer_2]

I'm not really seeing what they think they are going to get out of Wentz. The FB is mediocre, and the breaking ball command isn't sufficient to get guys out without a better FB. I guess he doesn't have a relief profile either so he starts until they give up on him ?

[gehringer_2]

Wentz wasn't much, but it might have helped if the Tigers had caught the damn ball better.

And thrown it better.

Vierling is having his second monster month. Makes me wonder what kind of hitter he will end up being. He goes for stretches where he's one of the best hitters in the game and then much longer stretches where he sucks.

[Tigermojo]

Ibanez and Carp tie it up!

baseball is funny they way different players seem to have 'cycles' that vary so much. Take Ibanez. Seems to always either do nothing, or have a multi hit game. And at the other end we've talked a lot about Candelario who seems to have long stretches  on and then off. Now Vierling similarly.

That’s probably most baseball players.

[gehringer_2]

that should do it.

I was expecting even more scoring in this one - Johnson with the smallest strike zone I have seen an umpire call in a long time.

Here comes Buck Farmer!

Then again it was the Tigers on one side of the field.

[Tigermojo]

Well that sucked. Four unearned runs.

[Motor City Sonics]

Why did they send Ibanez home there?   What a stupid play.     Do they have plane to catch or something?   They couldn't wait to end that one. 

[AZTigersfan]

And Carpenter swing at one at his eyes to end it. He and Baddoo refuse to walk and swing at bad pitches trying to be heroes. Smh 

[RedTeamGo!]

Boy did the reds need this one

Consider it a gift, the Tiger fielders apparently considered it one...

I saw the Gipson-Long interview on the highlight package.  Nice kid.
