No one could think by June 3rd both Meadows and Torkleson would both be back in Toledo. Frustrating neither could stick. Hopefully the reset will help them. So far Parker has hit better. But then that is triple A pitching.

When will those minor league wins turn into major league wins ? Frustrating it’s taking so long to build a winner.

 

[biggunsbob]

Semien lead Off homer for Texas. 2-2 cheese right down the middle.
Texas up 1-0.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice play by Colt.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal gets them next three batters.

 

[biggunsbob]

Eovaldi is dealing through first four batters. We need to disrupt him somehow or it’s going to be a long night. Nothing stressful so far.

 

[biggunsbob]

Malloy up
Deep fly out to center. Swings at first pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal strands a 1 out single . 1-0 still top of the 3rd.

 

[biggunsbob]

8 tiger outs in a row.

Baez has no shot. Why would any pitcher throw JB a strike ?
It’s so strange he leads the team in hitting with RISP.
He swings at most crap all the time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Rogers Ties the game up after a nice at bat. 1-1 ! smacks a hanger.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal gets out of the 1st and 3rd jam with a timely 643 double play !
Semien is 2-2.

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene seems like he swinging out of his shoes. K’s. Try going to left RG.

 

[biggunsbob]

Top 4
Greene K’s
Canna K’s
2 strike hitting Gio goes to RF.
Colt grounds out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Gotta walk the dog. Radio time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal gets third out after a two out triple or double and error.

 

[biggunsbob]

Malloy up. k’s

 

[biggunsbob]

Sadly Skubal getting no run support. 1-1 bottom 6th .

First two batters on base. 1st and 2nd.

He K’d Langford on the 1-2 pitch but this ump is terrible. Head to go to 3-2 before he struck him out.
Smith K’s
Duran g-3

Wow great pitching !

And according to Dickerson the 3rd time through the order his when teams do better against him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Cool.
