I didn't know they had an early game. Kind of odd for a Monday

 

[tomdalton22]

The battle of the washed up pitchers. Jordan Zimmerman vs. Edwin Jackson.

 

[turok]

Almost...yer right Mario...TTBDNS.

Zimmerman has to go down at min top 3 worst FA signing in franchise history right.

 

[Rebbiv]

I already saw Edwin Jackson pitch twice this year in Syracuse. Good pickup by Oakland. He was doing well in Syracuse. Not great, but a very serviceable starter.

 

[turok]

Nice CS throw by Greiner.

Right behind Prince Fielder

 

[Mitchrapp]

Right behind Prince Fielder

At least we got something good for him..

 

[Rebbiv]

Right behind Prince Fielder

2 years in DET. 2 years as an All Star. 2 years with over 100 RBIs. He was traded for Kinsler, who ended up with 4 years in DET. Despite the hate for him, there is no reason his contract would be in the top 3.

 

[tigermud]

80 pitch starter limit reached, in zims case that actually doesn't bother me but let's get 4 innings of pen into the mix, use em all Gardenhire!

 

[tigermud]

Terrible at bat from Jones keeps it 1-0

Amazingly tigers draw zero walks on Jackson today which seems damn near impossible

 

[turok]

One out...2nd and 3rd...and bupkis.

 

[tigermud]

One out...2nd and 3rd...and bupkis.

Too many impatient hitters who don?t make pitcher throw strikes

 

[turok]

Then Coleman gives up a tying leadoff homer.

 

[turok]

Whoops...some Keystone Kops fielding right there.

 

[tigermud]

Martin calls for it late machado fails to get out of the way, Plenty of time to get everybody from the pen into today’s game yet

 

[turok]

Jimenez walks sacks full...then gets lowrie to fly to center on a 3-1 count...

 

[tigermud]

Lots of bunting attempts today most of them fails

What to do when struggling to score runs, have guys who can’t bunt try to help manufacture runs by giving away outs.. Fail

Even the first one today hicks bunting with victor on first, pitcher booted it and made it work but damn really bunt with victor on first wuuuuh da hell was that

 

[turok]

GRD by Martin...2nd and 3rd one out again...
