I'm basically shocked the Tigers are this close to a playoff spot. And we got our ace going tonight..

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks !
I had to work today just got home a little awhile ago.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang Meadows with another hard hit ball right at someone!

 

[biggunsbob]

Shoot you would think Greene could hit this guy. Late on the fastballs and caught guessing on the off speed. Tigers strand a runner on third with less than 1 out. Jung leaves the bases loaded. Fooled on slow stuff. Damn. Shocked Greene couldn’t hit this guy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Idk maybe they should have changed TS start from KC to Baltimore. The royals seem to give him fits. Lucky he got his glove on that. Hard hit balls all inning trail 1-0 .
Would a better 3rd baseman get that ? Probably not nit to hard.
Lucky it’s only 1-0 end of one. So glad he wasn’t hurt on that comebacker.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn. Cleveland trails 2-1 end 5th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 2nd.
Sweeeny chases a terrible pitch can’t move the runner over to third. k’s
Rogers hustle swinging bunt single followed by a throwing error ties the game 1-1.
Followed by Bobby Witt jr error. Carpenter fly out. Perez is fooled like Greene , and k’s looking. Tigers strand 2 more. Man I thought Carpenter would smash this Guy.

 

[gotime909]

Gonna regret not getting more than 1 with all those baserunners the first 2 innings.

 

[biggunsbob]

Freaking ump. That was a strikeout. No harm but that was a strike.

 

[biggunsbob]

Kaboom ! This guys pitch is perfect for Greenes swing. 2-1 tigers. .

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweeeny 2 run double I think ! Great slide by Jung !

Just a fly by Mr Rogers. Stop swinging for the fences and put the ball in play.
Dang it. These runners on 3rd and less than one out. Need to work on that next season.
Tigers lead 4-1.

 

[jas5lf]

You know things are going well when Rogers gets a hit.

 

[gotime909]

That Greene bomb was a blast wow

 

[gotime909]

Indians tied up minny 2-2

 

[gotime909]

Hell of a slide by Jung. Joey Cora is an awful 3rd base coach

 

[biggunsbob]

Extra innings in Cleveland.
Damn it twins lead 4-2.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it mckinstry more pitches for Skubal. Great catch by Perez. Wow.
Shoot 2 strike hbp with Perez coming up. 3-2 count slider Inside gets him !

 

[jas5lf]

I'd let Skubal start the 6th and see how he does. A little over 100 pitches isn't going to kill his arm.

 

[lonesometiger]

twins lose
