I had to go to the Tigers site to find out who B. Dixon was.

I posted something on him in Tigers minor
league thread the last few days.

thanks.

I don't get over there too often. I do really like the "prospect watch" posts though. I think you post the Freep articles updating the Tigers top prospects? Those are good!

Candy lead off single in the 4th. Miggy with a hard hit ball off the left wall but just a long single and Candy has to hold at 2nd.

Niko walks, bases loaded. New pitcher coming in with 1 out.

I remember saying a few years ago when Miggy stopped hitting the home runs his skill set would still allow him to still be productive so I'll lay off him.. Maybe he can win the batting title.

1st pitch to Dixon looked like a strike...called a ball. Doubles the 1-1 pitch down the line. 3 runs scored. Dixon out at 3rd. 3-0!

Dumb base running by Dixon.

He?s going to fit right in here.

He?s going to fit right in here.

Gotta be the 3rd base coach doesn't it?

Quick 123 inning for Turnbull.

Despite the lack of production he?s still got the best ave on the team among those that have more than a couple dozen at bats

 

[tigermud]

What’s with the Rodney like bow and arrow gestures the tigers are doing after hits all about?

 

[manchild98]

He?s going to fit right in here.

I think it's the first thing our scouting dept looks for.

Scouts call to Avila: "Al? Yeah, I found one. He's perfect."

Al: "How's his swing?"

Scout: "It's pretty shitty, but he ran right into an out at 3rd base. Yeah, no reason to do it. There was just one out. Just straight stupidity."

Al: "We'll sign him."

 

[manchild98]

Harrison with the lead off double.

 

[manchild98]

Hicks and Jones both pop out to 1st base.

I?m still blaming Gene Lamont.

I wasn't watching but sometimes a player will try to take the extra base to allow the runner in front of him to score. Not sure if this was the case or not.

Candy strikes out swinging....lead off double is stranded.
