Kaboom !

3 run bomb By Baez gives tigers the lead !

 

[biggunsbob]

Fulmer 4 balls in a damn row. Damn it.

 

[biggunsbob]

One pitch and loud fly out to left.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice pick by JS at second on fielders choice.

 

[biggunsbob]

K?s Polonco ! Nice comeback after the BB !

 

[biggunsbob]

Soto walks leadoff hitter on four Pitches. Sigh.

 

[biggunsbob]

Soto can?t find the strike zone damn it. 2. More balls.

 

[biggunsbob]

7 straight balls. Game over unless a miracle happens.

 

[biggunsbob]

8 balls in a row Fulmer should be the closer not Soto.

 

[sggatecl]

It's just one game but...

Something poetic about Baez hitting that go ahead 3 run bomb against and 0 for 4 (3 Ks) Correa and the Twins.

 

[coulomb]

wtf soto

 

[biggunsbob]

Lefty Kepler strikes out on 3 pitches.

 

[sggatecl]

We going to blame Soto for this fielding?

 

[sggatecl]

Holy shit Haase. That was...something.

 

[coulomb]

Oh my fuck, that was abismal

 

[biggunsbob]

Fucking defense strikes Again

Right fielder Grossman. I good RF catches that ball.
Catcher Hasse Dumb ass. What a idiot.

This is not a good team right now as they fall to 6-10

Soto just isn?t a good closer. He walks to many batters.

 

[biggunsbob]

Team was supposed to be better at defense. I guess not.
