Tork 5th???????

Maybe trying to get Ibanez to get some good pitches. It's all I have. Plate protection if that's even a thing .

 

[biggunsbob]

Jobe struggles in top of 1st. 24 pitches but limits the damage to
1 run .strands 2 on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ibanez got a good pitch; fast ball right down the middle. He whiffed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jobe and Olson look so dang young.

Yup not close. 1st two pitches were balls. He is hacking at everything. Not close that AB. Wish tork was in 4 spot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jobe another long inning. Two on for Witt Jr. . Gets him to foul out to Spencer. Kc strands 2 more.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 2nd

Nido bails out KC and JB. Single ties the game. 1-1.

Tork has been on fire. Batting him 5th is just completely assinine. Especially vs a lefty.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jobes best inning .2 out single leads to nothing.
Bottom 3rd 1-1.

 

[biggunsbob]

When is Malloy going to start hitting ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers go out 123 in the 3rd. Greene had a decent Ab against a lefty but bounced out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice 123 top of the 4th for Jobe.
At 75 pitches I wonder if he gets one more inning ?

Game tied 1-1 bottom 4th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ibanez solo Hr !

2-1 tigers ! We sorry AI ! We doubted you. Still should be batting 5th lol !

 

[gotime909]

Lol

 

[gotime909]

Ibanez solo Hr !

2-1 tigers ! We sorry AI ! We doubted you. Still should be batting 5th lol !

There's 3 other guys in front of tork to question too.

 

[gotime909]

Ragans has thrown so many middle/middle fastballs tonight and got lucky.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang Nido has 2 hits. Shame Baez couldn't move the runners up.. ZM strands 2. Tough match up any lefty.

Carpenter should play 80 -90 % against leftys...
