With his high ERA on the road, .299 OAV isn't too bad. It's all those extra base hits, mostly HR.

Gameday.

Huge shithook Tim Timmons is the home plate ump Mawilli.
He has rung up Miggy on bad strike calls many times and thrown him out of games a few times in the past 2/3 years.

Verlander's pc jumped by 1/3 on Merrifield at bat! And then he walks.

 

[lonesometiger]

WTFET , Merrifield to second ON A FO to center. Jones got that weak of a arm?

 

[lonesometiger]

Could use a Upton up rising.

hum 30 points under his career now! .238 is not good.

 

[lonesometiger]

not hitting and he gets a 8 pitch inning.

 

[lonesometiger]

My Merrifield can not make an out!

 

[lonesometiger]

And now the guy running all over the place.

 

[lonesometiger]

Give Gordon an out nope Tigers get Merrifield, wow.

 

[lonesometiger]

Like to see a base runner for a change.

 

[lonesometiger]

Machado singles .282 nice average.

 

[gotime909]

Was gonna make a comment about Machado leading off, but then realized he's got 1 of the 2 hits. Brad really is a genius

 

[gotime909]

come on Miggy! You're fucking due!

 

[lonesometiger]

Castellanos down to .209!

 

[lonesometiger]

Cabrera .262 is a shell these days.

 

[gotime909]

Miggy is the most disappointing in my eyes

 

[lonesometiger]

Pitching got to throw a shut out just to keep from losing!

 

[lonesometiger]

Verlander getting hit now! O good grief. DP helps. Runner on 3rd two outs.

 

[lonesometiger]

1-0 royals!
