I just don’t get not trying to bunt him over to 3rd ? Try for a bunt single.
We just are terrible at moving runners over.

McKinstry doesn't know how to bunt.

 

[biggunsbob]

sigh

 

[biggunsbob]

McKinstry doesn't know how to bunt.

Probably. Hit behind the runner then. He hit it hard but t not a good at bat.

 

[jas5lf]

That sucks. Need a rally in the 9th.

 

[Mitchrapp]

34 games in a row the Tigers down 4 in the 8th they lost. I hope we don't see 35.

 

[biggunsbob]

I’d would have put more pressure on this defense. That is the thought anyway.
Move runner to 3rd. It didn’t matter we couldn’t get a sac fly anyway.

Also Malloy pinch hitting ? Really ? He had no shoot against that RP.
He just stands there .
Who did he pick hit for ?

 

[tomdalton22]

only down 1

 

[biggunsbob]

Vest in .
Single
Walk
Petry says Vest is on a streak of games not giving up a run lol. (Nice Jinx Dan)
Fielders choice runners at 1st and 3rd.
Infield single. Rbi. 6-4
Wish we could put the ball in play more.
Single 7-4 Sigh.
Another dribbler 4-3 runners move up. I wonder if the National’s are a big
Strikeout team ? They seem to foul off a lot of pitches.
F-9 .
Bottom 9 tigers trail 7-4 now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers will be 15-19 at home if we don’t come back, and hopefully 16-18 when we do.

 

[tomdalton22]

get within one and the BP gives up 2 runs to go back down by 3

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers
17-16 road.
15-19 home.
==========
32-35

They score 5 runs in a Olson start and still lose.

Oh well.

Ibanez... Who is also a righty, so dunno what made him do that. & Ibanez pinch hit for baddoo & was 1-1.

AJ really should learn to just chew fn seeds, its not about you buddy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Olson may be reverting back to his minor league numbers. Hope not. He was pitching so dang good and getting no run support. Now we score and he gets bombed.

Ibanez... Who is also a righty, so dunno what made him do that. & Ibanez pinch hit for baddoo & was 1-1.

well Ibanez doesn’t hit rightys very well but Malloy is only batting .150 who the hell knows what AJ is thinking.

 

[biggunsbob]

Another wasted home stand.

 

[biggunsbob]

Olson has has 3 bad outings in a row and they just said his era is still 3.60 ish .

Reese Olson surrenders five runs in Detroit Tigers' 7-5 loss to Washington Nationals.
Freep

The 24-year-old began the season with a 1.92 ERA in 10 starts, with just 12 earned runs allowed, but in his three most recent starts, he has given up 17 earned runs, for a miserable 10.43 ERA across 14⅔ innings, bringing him up to a 3.68 ERA in all 13 starts. Olson allowed five runs to the Boston Red Sox on June 1 and eight runs to the Milwaukee Brewers last Friday before Wednesday's struggles.
