Lange finally gets his wildness under control and now Holton is a head case. Nice

 

[biggunsbob]

I will be really salty if KC turns out better then us this year . They only had 56 wins last year. Cleveland had 2 less then detroit at 76

and Vest picks up right where the rest leave off. 7 run 9th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Gotta figure out why we can't win at home.

Gotta figure out why we can't win at home.

Need to figure why half our team can't hit.

Tigers bullpen must have been reading their press clippings. Horrible by Holton and Vest shat himself too.

Checking out the standings I say they are better.

So far . We shall see after 162 games. Just pathetic how we can’t develop any hitters.

Move the fences back? Anyway the dimensions are fine same for both teams. They move them up, we hit more HR, they hit more HR. Change them in anyway its the same for both teams.. Maybe even worse for us because our hitting is sub par.
