2 out error by skubal on great play gets stranded by a skubal
K.

 

[jas5lf]

I hate to say it, but Mckinstry has been one of the better bats lately. We may be stuck with him.

 

[biggunsbob]

Keith and Spencer k after two singles.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice fast inning for Slubal.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 123 in the fourth .

 

[biggunsbob]

Red Sox lead off single in he 5th.
Nice Dp . Mckinstry to Sweeney to Spencer !
That was a tough dp.
Sweeney has a nice arm, and nice decision to flip the ball that close to the bag by ZM.
Nasty Slider for K number 5.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 5th
Rogers seeing single .
Meadows BB
Greene 0-2 count pop out to 3rd. He is struggling.
Vierling F-8
Keith 3-0 , 3-1 , 3-2 count. F-7. Really struggling.

We keep chasing the high strike. Just like last night with Jansen the closer.
So frustrating we can’t get the big hit. Get 1st two on and our best hitters
Can’t even move them over. Put a damn play on ..we need to get Riley out of
His funk. He always seems to be in a 0-2 count.

 

[biggunsbob]

Evans holy cow he was tearing up at the end of that interview.

 

[biggunsbob]

Red Sox 6th.
K.
E-6. (Please find a damn ss who can field the normal plays).
F-8
K #7. Number 200 on the season
4th lefty in tiger history with 400.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wish we knew how to manufacturer runs.

Spencer gets a single. Erased in a dp.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice inning by skubal

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 7th.
Damn it
Kreidler gets caught off the bag after a single. So dumb
Rogers F-8
Meadows single
Meadows caught off the bag.
Lefty in

Come on guys those are little league outs. Embarrassing.

 

[biggunsbob]

[biggunsbob]

Red Sox 8th
5-3 .(what a play by Kreidler)
F-8
K

Tigers nothing in the 8th.

 

[jas5lf]

Would be nice if the Tigers could score a run or two in the 8th. Otherwise, let Skubal pitch the 9th....I don't trust this pen.

 

[biggunsbob]

I'd let skubal finish but it looks like Holton is coming in.
