[kalinecountry]

This rangers pitcher griffin is throwing on of the slowest curves around 68,

JD fouls several pitches and draws a walk,

Upton skies to left,

Nick With a 3 Run Homer!!!
F'n Great!!!

Tigers lead 7 - 0,

Tigers with 4 Bombs,

 

[tigermud]

First home run for nick in almost a month

 

[kalinecountry]

Rangers pitcher griffin with 77 pitches after 3 innings,

I like it,

 

[sggatecl]

First home run for nick in almost a month

When it came off the bat I thought it was a pop out for sure.

Same here, sounded and looked like a can of corn but somehow just kept going

When it came off the bat I thought it was a pop out for sure.

Its hard to tell with him because everytime he makes contact he showcases as if he just "got it " ...dont know what the deal is this year with his follow through but its annoying and keeps fooling me lol

 

[nsonnett14]

Lets go JV , settle down and lets get outa here !!

 

[gotime909]

JV and his game of peek a boo with the runner again. Seems to really get him in trouble the last couple years.

 

[nsonnett14]

Shit

 

[kalinecountry]

Well there goes the no-no and shutout,

7 - 2,

 

[nsonnett14]

Well there goes the no-no and shutout,

7 - 2,

I didnt wanna say anything even tho it was early , but he had no hit stuff going

 

[kalinecountry]

Yeah JV was on and you could see and sense it,

then the start of this inning,

17 pitches in the 4th before getting an out,

 

[gotime909]

Well there goes the no-no and shutout,

7 - 2,

Seems like all of his blow up innings start with a walk and him trying too hard to pick that runner off of first.

 

[kalinecountry]

3 FB's at 97/98 up around the eyes and odor and his scraggly beard sit down,

 

[kalinecountry]

Seems like all of his blow up innings start with a walk and him trying too hard to pick that runner off of first.

yeah, and with a 7 run lead why worry about first base runner, just pitch.

 

[tigermud]

Avila is a rake machine this year

 

[gotime909]

Alex is just crushing the ball in every direction this year!

 

[kalinecountry]

McCann gets one through third with the big gallo unable to field the grounder,

Good timing on the slow curve by Kinsler,

Holy Shit Alex Avila is Crushing the baseball, opposite field smash to left and runners score,

Tigers lead 9 - 2,

griffin gone 88 pitches 9 runs with Avila on second, 9 hits, 4 Bombs, walk and 3 k's,

 

[nsonnett14]

I honestly can't even believe what Avila is doing this year but i'm loving it !!
