Tigers (42-65) pathetic

V. Reyes DH
J. Baez SS
H. Castro 1B
J. Candelerio 3B
W. Castro 2B
D. Cameron RF
T. Barnhart C
A. Baddoo LF why?

Baddoo flash in the pan, he'll improve if he leaves Detroit and hooks up with better hitting coaches. Barnhart lousy hitter, terrible FA signing. No Miggy they were saying something about his knee the other day didn't catch the jist of it. I wouldn't be overly surprised if he surprised us end of year and decides to retire a year early.



Over under 5 hits for the kittens tonight?

I'll take the over.

I was watching Baddoo vs. the Twins earlier this week. The Twins know exactly what he is...which is why they let him go. Somebody hit a REALLY shallow flyball and the runner on 3B tagged. Baddoo threw the ball about 12' up the 1B line and the runner was easily safe. I didn't know his arm was THAT bad.

Over under 12 strikeouts by the Tigers?

I was playing golf yesterday and missed the news that Cabrera is thinking about retiring after this season. That would be great for the Tigers!

OF Derek Hill has been claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners.

If he no longer has any power and is just a slow singles man he should just retire or be moved to 9th in the lineup


KC has more in the HOF thread

 

[tigermud]

Tigers got three hits in the first inning and even scored a run!

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers up 3 - 0 early in the 3rd inning. Riley Greene with a Bomb.

 

[tomdalton22]

My boy Greene

 

[coulomb]

Garcia looks like annibal sanchez after going on a 6 month eating binge.

 

[tomdalton22]

Tigers pitching walking 9 after 5. It's a miracle that they only gave up a run.

 

[tomdalton22]

Just looked up a stat. The Tigers have a major league leader in one stat. J. Baez leads MLB in errors with 17. He would probably have over 20 if it weren't for Torkleson playin 1B.

 

[kalinecountry]

Looks like Jimenez will cost the Tigers the game, Lowe with a 2 run double, and paredes drives him in. Cisnero on in relief and he walks a .188 batter.

5 - 3 going to the bottom of the 8th.

Tigers pitchers with 13 friggin' walks, 7 of those to the bottom 3 of the rays lineup.

 

[biggunsbob]

JJ will go back to sucking now that dipshit Avila didn?t trade him when he was probably at his alltime high of value. Whatever that was.

 

[biggunsbob]

Holy shit Ron

13 walks to 1. Please Fire Avila tonight Chris !

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer Homered and doubled in Toledo tonight !

 

[biggunsbob]

That?s one great throw by that SS. . Close play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene can?t come through. K?s on three pitches. This team is years away .

97.1 in Detroit was talking today or yesterday . Maybe this is a thread topic .

Worst Gm
