Okay, I'm out.

[Shinzaki]

Well....crap....again

Note to A.J.: don’t pitch Chris Paddack against the team he came from where everybody knows his tendencies.

And here I thought having a Texas attitude solved every problem. 

I understand that its a big state and they have a lot of thoughts about how that's great. 

[Adullin]

at one point you should pull your pitcher.

We face Tyler Alexander and he rises to the occasion like Cy Young, Paddock comes out against his old mates like wilted cabbage.

This might not be a popular thought, but down 7-1 going into the 4th, they’ve won the series, they’ve got a 5-2 road trip in hand at worst.  Houston is the next series.  There could be tie breaking scenarios related to it.  If the Tigers crawl back into this game, so be it.  But I’m okay with cashing this one out, saving the decent bullpen arms for the next three games.

I switched to the Atlanta v Cleveland game.

Falcons v Browns preseason?

This is really disgusting.

What Cas said. The game is basically cooked, so we might as well let Padack empty his tank before we bring in, I assume, Troy Melton to bring us home.

[CaliforniaDreaming]

I would think they would save Melton for a game that matters. Bring in Kanhle and let him go the distance.

The good news is I have Buxton on both of my fantasy baseball teams.  I knew Paddack wouldn't let me personally down.

I was just coming back in to reconsider the Melton thing. I’m now thinking it’ll be Hanifee and/or Montero.

I’m fine with Paddock still being in there to go as long as he can.  Again, save the arm barn for the Houston series.

I don’t know who is and isn’t available today.  I’d rather save Melton for possibly a pair of save situations against Houston.

Looks like Horn is up.  Throw him, sure.  Throw Kahnle.  Throw Montero.  Hanifee if needed.

This guy gets it.

[casimir]

What, 2 pitches from Horn there?  He and Montero to finish things out.  That’s fine.

Sounds like Houston might be hitting town with a bit of a worm out bullpen.  That’s too bad.

I’m watching the game on MLB.tv and I have seen the same spot at least six times inviting me to use Booking.com to book a hotel package so I can go to Chicago to see the Tigers take on the White Sox in their Rivalry Series earlier this week.

I think it’s more likely we use Melton as the second pitcher in an opener situation, if not in a spot start.

I would recommend skipping the middle game, but you do what you want to.

Is there an opener scenario coming up?  I know he had a start several games ago, but I think that was kind of a 6th starter in the middle of a no days off in a two week schedule type of thing.

Set the way back machine for earlier in the week Sherman. 

[IdahoBert]

So the last two Twins relievers have each struck out the side. It’s almost as if the Tigers want to get on the plane and leave as quickly as possible.

[GalagaGuy]

Haha Cleveland loses.  

[Sports_Freak]

Cleveland loses 

Blue Jays lose

And Houston losing big 

Not the worst day....
