Sorry I thought I saw Iggy. my bad.

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least we have one hit already so we're on par..

Dive dude..

There is no point in bringing up Candelario unless he's gonna play. What's the point of him missing out on valuable at bats or, more importantly, valuable time in the field. This team is just horrible with young talent.

 

[Mitchrapp]

A pitcher? Freakin' pitcher.

ball game 3 of there runs after 2 out!

Yep, the pitcher tags Boyd for a single and an RBI, then shows swagger after delivering the hit. This Tigers season has seen it all.

Tigers have grid lock for brains.

Honestly, after the start this year I thought Mahtook was a piece of shit. He's having a nice season.
