What better way to make sure Alex cools off by no longer playing him against RHP's, I don't get it.

Our idiot manager wants to keep Alex fresh by not playing his hot lefty bat which will add another righty bat to chase the angel's pitchers slider.

Come on, McCann is hitting .139 vs RHP. We'll be okay.

 

[nsonnett14]

The fact we are arguing about whether or not freaking Alex Avila is in the lineup or not , really says alot lol

 

[nsonnett14]

I don't know the stats on it , but is it possible McCann usually catches for Fulmer ??

When you're hitting 1.200+ OPS vs RHP in the early start it really isn't. Fact, one guys a much better hitting vs RHP. This season, last year - career. And the other is better vs LHP. That's why Ausmus is a schmuck.

I don't think any of our SP have a certain catcher..

 

[gotime909]

Yeah, not sure why Alex isn't at least seeing half of the playing time against RHP. If not more.

 

[gotime909]

4 times with McCann and 2 times with Alex so far.

 

[nsonnett14]

4 times with McCann and 2 times with Alex so far.

Is that what it is ? I was just curious , sometimes pitchers prefer certain catchers , thanks for the stats on that . If thats the case then yea i dont get it haha . Maybe McCann will be the difference tonight !! And i dont mean with passed balls grrr lol

Looking at the stats and what Gotime just provided , you guys are right !! Just Brad being Brad

 

[nsonnett14]

Of course i miss the 3 run bomb because of the freaking yankees game going long

 

[kalinecountry]

Another fucking asswipe ump Mike Winters trying to show up Miggy with a called strike 3, 6 inches off the corner,

but justice prevails with Upton blasting a 3 run bomb,

Tigers lead 3 - 0,

 

[manchild98]

McCann 2 for 2. He knows we're complaining again.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice pitch MF!!

 

[nsonnett14]

Fulmer dealing , offense looks good !! Exciting game thread here woohoo , off to bed .

Don't worry I had sound muted so I missed most of it until I saw Maybin's back.
I was watching somin on my tablet and dozed off for just a few minutes waking up seeing a 5 spot. Totally missing Popeye Romine's dinger lol..

It's weird how that works. Maybe we need to complain more often..

I too was watching and thinking, "there I go again bitching about a Tigers player, and he comes through".

Just glad they are winning, just hold on,
