Gameday.

 

[tigermud]

Not a single bat in the lineup hitting over .250 and four of em at .200 or lower. Man that is just awful

 

[tigermud]

Jones has k'd 15 times in his last 26 at bats

 

[manchild98]

Jones has k'd 15 times in his last 26 at bats

I've seen enough of this kid. Bring up anyone else. They can't do worse. His pitch recognition is god awful.

 

[kalinecountry]

Probably playing for his D in CF.
After seeing Collins' clown shoes act, Tigers might not want him anywhere near CF. Who else, Mahtook? Romine?

Gose could run them down, same fail with the bat,
but he's pitching in the minors and just struck out the side his last appearance.

 

[kalinecountry]

More piss f'n poor Defense, horse shit throw from McCannon and Romine can't short hop it, runner now on third,

Gets out of it but too many pitches so far for Verlander.

 

[manchild98]

We're not good enough to suck on defense.

Presley had a good Spring but he's only hittng a buck 33 on the farm, no great options for CF..to bad maybin couldn't stay

 

[tigermud]

That would be kinda neat if goose returned as a bull pen guy and backup CF, probebly wouldn't make the pen any worse

 

[lonesometiger]

wow back to back .250 hits.

 

[lonesometiger]

a lead

 

[tigermud]

Hits!

 

[lonesometiger]

another hit another + .250 hitter and rbi what an inning.

 

[lonesometiger]

And then the .118 hits Defense time

 

[tigermud]

Oh another damn error, team will be at the bottom of the pile in team defense before long at this rate.

 

[kalinecountry]

f'n Romine, since the grandslam he's swinging for a homerun every at bat,
and his D has dropped off.

 

[kalinecountry]

They gave .118 a hit on that.

 

[tigermud]

They gave .118 a hit on that.

Ground ball right to the SS and they give him a hit, lol..score keeps these days to coddled as kids or what this is the big leagues

 

[kalinecountry]

The Tigers Defense is killing the pitchers, starters and relievers. Can't come up with f'n grounders means more pitches with runners on base.
