How can tork still not hit middle/middle fastballs?????

 

[nydo77]

Well he's not a reliever

Yet he knew he was going on after the opener well in advance, which isn’t much different than starting. The several month injury hiatus combined with probable nerves plays a part. Now our hitters need to get focused quickly, or this game disappears into their bullpen.

Mize is off the series roster, montero back in.

He had 2 quality starts vs Cleveland. Using an opener was dumb. Bringing him in out of the pen for the first time today just doesn't make sense. Huge difference between starting with a clean inning vs coming into a shithole.

He wasn’t on a pitch limit when he made those two quality starts; both were before he was injured. Hind sight is always 20/20, though; I guess we should have all known that our opener would implode today.

Fuck tork

Riley and Colt nice at bats. Spencer hacking away can't deliver like normal.

 

[biggunsbob]

I agree with G. I know we are all second guessing but it seems like Olson should have been starting not coming out of the pen. I thought AJ would switch back after the Houston series and go away from the bullpen starting in a few games. Guess it's hard to 2nd guess what is working.

Just saw ZM play at 3rd. Yikes !

 

[biggunsbob]

All we need is a couple of 3 spot innings baseball gods !
Make it so !.

 

[biggunsbob]

Every Detroit hitter trying for a 5 run homer. We need some hits. Then the homer lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why not let him try for the win ?
I'm just curious.

 

[kalinecountry]

Not a good start to this game. We need the bats to come alive.

 

[gotime909]

Olson mowing them down now. Even the announcers questioning using an opener.

Because they're trying to win a playoff game.

 

[nydo77]

Vierling looks at two fast balls near the middle of the plate, then swings at a low one. Their heads are not currently in the right place.

 

[gotime909]

Awful at bat by Greene

They had a 5 run lead. It's not Like the Tigers were getting any clutch hits....Unless he was on a pitch count makes zero sense. Let him at least try and get it.
Agree to disagree.

Shame Madden couldn't get out of the inning. Down 7-0.

He threw three sliders in a row to the same spot.No surprise that after fouling off the first two, the third one turned into a double.
