I have to run errands . Go tigers . Tigers are 0-4 against New York..

Yankee leadoff hitter was 0-2: saw 9 pitches .

Jung almost threw the ball ball away. Nice pick by Spencer.
Montero 123 inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Why is Mckinstry getting more at bats ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Malloy two double .

 

[biggunsbob]

colt drives in the run. 1-0 tigers. Dingler flys out on first pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Montero . That was a 0-2 pitch. Infield single . Another nice pick by Spencer saves a run. Jung’s throws are low.

 

[biggunsbob]

Go tigers. Gotta run.

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer just missed a homer. Just foul. Then hits a lead off double .

 

[gotime909]

Tork with a 2 strike double off a 95 mph fastball in his 1st ab back. Nice

 

[biggunsbob]

How unlucky is Jung. He smoked that ball.

 

[biggunsbob]

JB sees 13 pitches . Before he chases.

 

[biggunsbob]

lol. I bash ZAch and he delivers a rbi single. .

 

[gotime909]

Hell of an at bat by javy. Fouled off 6 really good pitches before striking out. Really thought he'd win that at bat the longer it went.

 

[biggunsbob]

He did the same thing on the first at bat Saw 13 pitches.

Tigers' AJ Hinch promises less pinch-hitting: 'Lefties are going to face lefties'.
Then why wasn't Carpenter or Meadows starting vs. the yankee's lefty?

Spencer Torkelson reacts to his Detroit Tigers return: 'I belong here'. Then produce!
Here's the ugly truth about Tork, if he mashes he just creates an ugly dilema. He's not in the plan, they don't trust him. Too many times, too many flaws.

3 phases to the Torkelson demotion 1. Protection..need to get him out of his own head give him time to relax and evaluate the problems 2. Experimentation and Implementation, tweaks to address the issues, attain some level of success and consistency. 3. Punishment. once Torkelson attained phase 1 and 2 they left him in TOL as a form of punishment, while he was successful and swinging well.

So frustrating. Leadoff triple. Dang it all.

 

[biggunsbob]

I feel Madris deserves to be on the team over a few of these guys. . I thought Perez was done for the season?
I'm ok with Tork being called up. Just would have kept Madris around. Probably Postion was the issue .

 

[biggunsbob]

JB has a few Lob's today.

 

[biggunsbob]

Foley struggled in NY verses the Yankess. . Need some outs please.
