Defense has been great on both sides tonight minus each teams embarrassing pop up drops

[chasfh]

Holy crap, nice snag by Kevin. He used every inch of his 5’10” to get to that.

Burch Smith?

Needs to keep Texas barking up the wrong tree.

Not off to a great start

[monkeytargets39]

Why’d we pull Hurter out with all these lefties up?

[gehringer_2]

he's faced three batters, you can go get him any time.

[Sports_Freak]

Burch Smith in the 8th inning of a tie game? Yeah, it's not tied any more...

We all know by now that Hinch is really stubborn. Use the back end of the bullpen? Why?

[IdahoBert]

Not to belabor the obvious, but it looks like six runs is the magic number if things don’t change.

Vest apparently not available tonight.

[monkeytargets39]

The Pistons game has been absolutely ridiculous tonight

[gehringer_2]

The BP has given up one run in 6 IP. If they don't walk this off the BP is going to get the loss but it's not really theirs.

nice of WXYT to suddenly go to commercial in the middle of an inning.

[chasfh]

Ah phooey 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

and back just in time for the end of the last play

Down by 24, win by 14. That’s the kind of game seen as a watershed by championship teams.

Yeah, that was kinda cute. Tigers didn't do anything though.

yeah, I just went to the TV audio after ~15 seconds.

[gehringer_2]

What are they doing to with Flaherty? I can see one more start, but if it goes like this again....

[monkeytargets39]

If we score 4 runs for Skubal, it’s almost always a win.

 

If we score 4 runs for Flaherty is digging out of a 2nd inning deficit.

“Shoulder tightness”

[IdahoBert]

Well, a disappointing game. And a never before 0–5 for Kevin. If Jack could’ve gone six innings and allowed three runs, but that didn’t happen.

Zimmermann V2.0

[IdahoBert]

Maybe his hips can start to hurt.

They held the Magic to only 19 points in the second half? How is that even possible?

Magic missed something like 25 shots in a row
