lefty or not on the mound, Dirks should be starting!!

 

[tigermud]

Need to get #24 going, apparently he didn't get the message K's on a ball in the dirt. :-(

0-10 in the series now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Is Dirks hammy acting Up again... Darn it..

 

[tigermud]

Smyly quick 1-2-3 12 pitch first K's Ichro this kid continues to impress.

 

[biggunsbob]

Darn I guess i should have started Vargas.. I just can't root against the Tigers ever

 

[gotime909]

Ugh Delmon swinging at 3 staight out of the zone...

 

[biggunsbob]

Again nobody grinding out at bats..

 

[biggunsbob]

Raburn can hit LHP.... I see it..

 

[xer0]

delmon young is a worthless piece of crap.

just throw crap outside of the zone and you'll get him out every time

 

[biggunsbob]

Another great umpire

 

[gotime909]

How do you get to be a .130 hitter?

Work a 3-0 count into a k, that's how Raburn.

 

[tigermud]

Bats are out in front, Vargas isn't throwing anything over 88/89

80-89 range and we can't square it up. wait on it!

 

[tigermud]

How do you get to be a .130 hitter?

Work a 3-0 count into a k, that's how Raburn.

3-0 and 3-1 pitches were both painted on the insider corner, then he was out in front of an 80 change up. At least he didn't swing at the balls like Young still is. Hell might just get that big guy back up here to DH if that is all Young is going to do, Eldred can do that to only he has a slightly larger wingspan to connect with some of those balls once in while.

This game's going to be over in an hour at this rate.

 

[tigermud]

Baserunner, We have a baserunner!

Laird making him work for it.

 

[tigermud]

Does Jackson not get good jumps out of the box? Seems like he should beat those out.

 

[biggunsbob]

I thought we use to pound this guy?

 

[tigermud]

I thought we use to pound this guy?

Has he always topped out at 89? for a guy that generally has a good ERA you'd think he'd throw a little bit harder than that.

Tiger killer.....Alex Liddi.....wtf?
