Zimmermann gets out of a bases loaded jam in the 1st. Meanwhile Cole is dealing so far. 6 up 6 down on 21 pitches.

 

[tomdalton22]

nice 2 run double by Nick. Not sure what he was doing rounding 2B

 

[Mitchrapp]

Didn't look like they'd be winning at this point. But that last inning, 5 pitches? Too quick.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Why was Upton playing so deep?

 

[Mitchrapp]

DP if Jose was out there..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Wow, got out of another big jam.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Great hit by Zim. Scalped Cole's head.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ouch!!! -hoPe the kid is ok but the should put in Feliz..

 

[biggunsbob]

I know this is hindsight but I would have had Kinsler try to bunt for a base hit to get Cole moving after getting hit.

 

[UMRules06]

Thats probably it for Zimmermann. Nice outing with 6 shutout innings against a good team on the road. Got out of numerous jams too.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yes.

 

[biggunsbob]

No walks please darn it.

 

[biggunsbob]

463

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks umpire you asswipe. Inning should be over. Jesus field your postion damn it all..

 

[UMRules06]

Gotta give him the hook here.

 

[UMRules06]

Or let him give up another hit. That works too I guess.

 

[biggunsbob]

Brad is a dumbass.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Tigers bullpen sucks.

I cut and pasted the above statement from 2015.....and 2014......2013......2012.....2011......2010......

 

[Mitchrapp]

Just unlucky. Soft grounder to Nick and one the pitcher couldn't get.
