Hicks with a cheap HR to RF. Tigers up 3-0

 

[lonesometiger]

Upton #18

 

[tomdalton22]

Upton #18

He needs to stay hot...maybe he'll opt out!

 

[lonesometiger]

Unless he gets really hot and hit 35+ J D will be the money corner out fielder this year. Goes Up have an option after 2018?

 

[jas5lf]

Austin Jackson just made one of the greatest catches I've ever seen in a game vs. Boston at Fenway. The vertical leap alone is impressive in itself.

 

[lonesometiger]

look out

 

[jas5lf]

Ausmus has to be trying to get himself fired at this point. I mean, Rondon again in a 2 run game with Judge coming up?

Fat boy got an out and dropped his ERA to 12.08.

 

[lonesometiger]

now Brad will use a 8th inning set up man so the game is Rondon safe now?

I always thought that if you catch the ball but your momentum carries you over the fence it should be a HR.

Some of you guys know that Mickey Lolich has held the American League record for Strikeouts in a career by a Left Handed Pitcher for 42 years with 2,679 Strikeouts, all with the Tigers. It is also the Tigers record.

At least for another 5 days he still does.

CC Sabathia entered this game with 2,672 and the boxscore shows he got 3 tonight for a total of 2,675.

Well, records are made to be broken, and Mickey Lolich has had a nice run.

That's what I thought too. I guess not.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That would be dumb.. That's like a foul ball into the stands caught it's not an out.

 

[lonesometiger]

need a DP

 

[lonesometiger]

It would not be a Tiger game with out a base running out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ready online that 25 pitchers now who are left handed have at least 2000 k's. Didn't realize so many and that Lolich still had the record. He needs some kind of statue in Detroit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Who, Kinsler or Iggy?

 

[lonesometiger]

Tigers need a 3rd base coach. Or base runners need glasses.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It's never easy..

 

[lonesometiger]

Five out save.
