I could be alone in this, and if so that's OK. I have a more renewed interest in this team, even though I know they probably will finish in the cellar. I'm very intrigued by seeing how the rebuild shakes out.

Aggressive baserunning by Candy to hit 2 bagger.

Miggy taps slowly to short, Martin who was HBP, scores.

 

[turok]

RBI single by Nick scores Candy, 2-0 Tigers!

Nick advances to second on PB.

Jones flyout to shallow center.

You jinxed him.

Merrifield leadoff homer in the 6th.

Annd...Gardy gives Liriano the hook.

 

[turok]

Wilson in with inherited runners on first and third with one out.

He walks the bases loaded.

Buh-bye lead...Almonte grand slam...5-2.

I've had it with our pitching, get them 0-2,1-2 and then walk them go after them, you got a 70% chance of the batter making the out should ball get into play, And as I type a LEAD off WWAALLKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
