[1776]

Poor poor pitch location in that count.

Soto Slam

You ****ing BUM.   You have this guy at 1-2 and you throw a ****ing piece of meat like that.   **** this guy.  He sucks and I don't want him anywhere near the rotation in the postseason.   

[Motor City Sonics]

Great trade, Scott.        Great trade deadline, too.

you mean hopeful like the one where Burgess Meredith gets all the books to himself because everyone else is disappeared but then breaks his glasses?

No, although that’s a good one. My favorite one is After Hours the one with Ann Francis, and the mannequins. In the end she remembers who and what she really is.

[Motor City Sonics]

I am so ****ing pissed right now.    He throws a cookie right down the middle to SOTO ?     What the hell was that?     You couldn't get him with that even before your AARP day.    

[gehringer_2]

Hinch seems to be losing his touch. He's waited one batter too many a bunch of times recently. Sharpen that hook up AJ. Can't let optimism get the best of you as a manager.

Twilight Zone time for me too.   Maybe it'll chill me out after that. 

 

I mean, right down the middle to Soto.    Moron.

+1.

Ann Francis was Emma Peele before Diana Rigg wore her first Cat Suit.

What villainy is this? Even our Sommers become the Winter of our discontent. 

[Sports_Freak]

Sommers shouldn't have been used for multiple innings. Lazy managing.

[gehringer_2]

The pitching staff is starting to reach critical failure mass - which is what happens when a manager loses so much confidence in his bullpen arms that he leaves starters out too long. The result is failed starts and failed relief, and it all snowballs into outcomes like this.

I have more faith in Jake Rogers on the mound than Sommers. 

[gehringer_2]

what little hope is left is Melton away...

[Sports_Freak]

I wish Hinch would have used Melton in the 6th instead of Sommers.

His magic touch from last year seems to have faded some this year.

No, he did a great job in the KC wins. It's just Sommers has now given up 6 runs in his last 7 innings. Forget lefty-righty match up, the guy is a AAA pitcher, at best 

[Sports_Freak]

Dingler with a 3 run walkoff home run. Yeah, I called it. 😆

[Sports_Freak]

And today was our best chance. The next 2 Met pitchers are pretty good. Scoring 8 runs should win the game for you.

It’s hard to believe he’s in a MLB uniform. Worst of all, it’s a Tigers uni.

One of things I have finally begun to understand about bullpens is that in the modern game, managers don't really decide who they are going to use out of the bullpen, GMs do, because you have to use everyone - there are too many BP innings needed to hide anyone or just save them for mop up. You just don't have the spots with starters' innings constantly falling. So if a guy in on the roster, he's going to pitch - and you are going to take your lumps if he isn't any good.

Tigers don't have a reliable lefty in the bullpen right now. That is serious problem. 

[gehringer_2]

This Tiger season is beginning to remind me too much of last years Lions' season. Great team that takes on too many injures by the end of the season to remain great.  Though with the Tigers it not just injuries but also pitchers just lost to ineffectiveness - Brieske, Hurter, Holton,
