I hope Lugo does well.

I hope Lugo does well.

Me too. Career 3% walk rate so he will fit right in. Career OBP .308. Utility guy at best? I dunno. Good thing we didn't give up anyone good for him. :hehe:

 

[dale675]

Ronny has been tearing it up. Triple in the gap. Pleasant surprise, now just bring him in!

 

[dale675]

Bottom 2nd and already 2 outs made on the base paths. Nick thrown out stealing second and Ronny out at home on a ground ball to short after the triple. I love all the fundamentals talk from Gardy. All talk no action.

So flawed like so many others both pitchers and positional they are bringing up.
Will be worse if or when the few key players get moved at trade deadline Nick/Greene/Boyd? and replacements are as flawed as these type of players.

 

[dale675]

That got ugly quick

6-0 bad guys after the grand salami

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ugh.

 

[dale675]

Time to pull the starters. Oh wait....

 

[Mitchrapp]

So what makes a manager come out of retirement to be here?

4 hits off a guy throwing essentially nothing but 93-95 FB's LOL. This IS the worst offensive tigers team I have ever seen in my entire life.

I had a bad feeling about this game and actually the past week or so seeing the schedule. Bottom starting to fallout playing better teams.

Maybe we can beat Miami after this series. They have only won 10 games this year. 10-31. Man, that is bad. On pace for 40 wins. 3 less than us back in 2003.

 

[tigermud]

Brandon Dixon on to pitch the 9th throwing 65-66 strikes out the first batter. LOL.

 

[tigermud]

ahhh f'k lugo had to go an ruin that 6 of 42 shutout

 

[jas5lf]

This isn't going to help our run differential. Being on the receiving end of these laughers is becoming more common.

Absolutely embarrassed by a team that had lost 15 of its previous 20 road games coming into this one.

 

[byco42]

So Brandon Dixon is the new Andrew Romine. Awesome. :no:
