Candy man delivers and its 1-0 good guys!

 

[dale675]

Fulmer 6 up 6 down, albeit one hit batter which was erased on a caught stealing. 6 for 6 first pitch strikes.

 

[tomdalton22]

2-0 on 2 solo shots

 

[tomdalton22]

I'm so glad the Tigers play in the AL. The DH is much better than having the automatic out at the bottom of the order.

 

[turok]

uh-oh...

 

[tigermud]

Fumler implodes right around the PC that Gardenhire typically pulls him starters losing their stamina growing accustomed to 80 pitches instead of 100

 

[tinselwolverine]

Eh shit...doing some work in the home office; looking in from time to time and GameCast...seeing that the Tigers have relinquished the lead and are behind now...damn...

 

[dale675]

Fulmer was cruising at the time but too bad we didn't pinch hit for him with bases loaded last inning. Hindsight is 20-20.

Well Marboro Man and Beautiful Brad cost the Tigers at last 3 World Series titles but heck DD can be lump into this category for his failure to put together a decent Pen !!

of course, you chime in when it comes to blaming the manager...typical

also...lol...3 WS titles because of the manager. Too funny! :lmao:

I blame Avila for everything.

 

[tigermud]

Hardy is a much better starter than he is a reliever.

Pretty disappointing game today.

 

[tomdalton22]

I thought they were going to go with a 6 man rotation when Liriano gets back. I guess they decided that wasn't a good idea.

 

[jas5lf]

Naturally they follow up a 5 game win streak by getting swept in a 2 game series by the hapless Reds.

but of course, I think the problem was we started to think hey it's a weak div maybe we can be postseason cannon fodder. Do'h

 

[turok]

As good as they are @ home, as bad or worse on the road.

I know we suck, but we don't suck as badly as the Reds. No excuse for these past 2 games. Pissed.

WORTH NOTING

* When Blaine Hardy entered in the seventh inning, it marked the first time the Tigers had used a left-handed reliever since Daniel Stumpf last pitched on May 28.

Hardy last pitched out of the pen on May 17; he's made six starts since then.

Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said Hardy will probably land back in the rotation at some point next week. Until then, he'll be available as a reliever.

His return to the pen didn't go well on Wednesday. Hardy retired just one batter and gave up a walk and two singles.

Louis Coleman inherited the bases-loaded jam and got a pop-out and a strikeout to end the inning.
