The offense has FOUR hits!

You're right, let's bitch about the offense.

Lack luster offense + bad fulmer sliders + crap pen = bad game loss

 

[lonesometiger]

This line makes the likes of Kelly, Inge, Raburn,Hessman Clevlen look good!!!!

Gamecast got the line up so mess up. Not sure Clevlen won't bat!

 

[biggunsbob]

Need to start hitting !!

 

[tigermud]

#5 starter Zimmerman tomorrow..offense will need to wake up

 

[lonesometiger]

Shoot the way Tigers are batting here in the 9th, Clevlen should have batted.

 

[lonesometiger]

This was an unwelcome out come

What has happened to the hitters?! Like Kinsler 1 for21 in last 6 games.

ROARS:
Miguel Cabrera: Miggy went boom again.

Victor Martinez: Hit a single and drew a walk to start the Tigers? threat in the seventh.

HISSES:
The top of the lineup: Ian Kinsler and Nick Castellanos went hitless in eight combined plate appearances. The Tigers need to get more production in front of Cabrera.

The bottom of the lineup (minus Jose Iglesias): Tyler Collins, Alex Avila and JaCoby Jones went 0-for-9, including an epic fail to strand runners on the corners with no outs in the seventh inning.

Kyle Ryan: He was given a clean inning and only managed to record one out while allowing two runs. His ERA ballooned to 8.31 on the season.

STREAKS AND INFO:
With Cabrera?s first-inning blast, the Tigers have hit a home run in each of their first 13 games this season, just one shy of the MLB record.

Cabrera has hit a home run in three of the last four games. Tonight?s blast left his bat at 110 miles per hour and was estimated at 451 feet.

Cabrera?s home run was the 449th of his career, which moves him into a tie for 38th most in MLB history. He needs 62 more home runs to catch Norm Cash for the second-most in Tigers? history.

Ian Kinsler did go hitless, but he hammered two baseballs and came up empty both times. The first was a loud line drive that defied the laws of physics to stay in the park, and the second was a 400ish-foot foul ball.

Finally a game for the Avila haters to get out all of their pent up frustration. Let it out boys!

This was not a fun game to watch. 2 lousy hits after the first inning.

Bucknor is one of the, if not THE WORST umpire we have ever seen call balls and strikes.
