Young group of players. Idk. It's so hard to watch him k over and over again.


Maybe bench him again? Last time that raised his average a good 60 points.

^^^^^^
knew it! I knew AJ read these threads for managerial directions!

Was he benched or just getting a day off?

 

[biggunsbob]

Was he benched or just getting a day off?

I think I just heard it was a day off. I just heard it on 97.1 today and they were roasting him all day. I said benched. My fault.

If they don't bench him, they should at least bat him 9th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well that wasn?t a great half inning to start.

 

[biggunsbob]

If they don't bench him, they should at least bat him 9th.

I heard on pregame that he may ne in the lineup tomorrow. But I agree he should be batting
9th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Maton and Spencer. Two guys that have zero luck. Pretty nice dp there.

 

[biggunsbob]

Now it appears that this was a planned day off for JB. If I?m hearing the broadcast right.

 

[biggunsbob]

That 0-2 pitch was much better then the first batter this inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice grab by Vierling in rf.

 

[biggunsbob]

Holy crap first pitch to Baddoo wasn?t close and it was called a strike.

 

[biggunsbob]

17 innings in a row tigers have not scored.


Last 4 Saturday.
All 9 Sunday.
First 4 today.


Hey guys. Lyles has a 6.42 era !

Make it happen in the 4th !

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger hitters making Lyles look like Cy young. 1 freaking hit .

 

[kalinecountry]

Freddy Fermin's second-inning single up the middle is the first hit allowed by Matt Manning since the fourth inning of his start at Colorado on July 2. He had tossed 9.1 consecutive hitless innings across three starts.

 

[byco42]

Can't follow GameDay and audio feed at the same time. GameDay is way ahead of the audio.

 

[biggunsbob]

1 out single for Kc. Manning needs to settle down please. Idiot throws a pitch at Spencer?s feet runner on second. Falling behind next batter 3-1 now 3-2
