Tigers/Twins Opening Day

[tomdalton22]

couldn't find anything wrong with today's game. Iggy had a nice game: Two hits, a sb and great d.

2 sb

 

[Thumb]

Who cares? We just won 4-0.

Right! The only thing happening in the entire world.

2 sb

Ah, missed that one. Thanks.

 

[xer0]

So does that Avila guy... :tup:

i agree.

 

[gotime909]

Nice to see Nathan hitting his sliders.

 

[biggunsbob]

Craig, Craig, Craig. Awkward :/

 

[tomdalton22]

Craig, Craig, Craig. Awkward :/

At least he didn't call him a n****r like Andrew Harrison!

 

[biggunsbob]

Yup that was way worse for sure but then again Craig has some years on Harrison. Regardless Both should have know better..

what did he say?

 

[tomdalton22]

what did he say?

He was describing that play by Kinsler when he went up and robbed that hit. He said "who said white men can't jump"

 

[dubbsco]

Eh as a white man, that's funny. Take no offense to it.

Harrison's comments aside (which were not good), this country loves to find ways to get offended.

 

[biggunsbob]

I agree D.
Yeah I don't care Criag said but i worry some may.. CM has a good gig I sure hope he does not lose it for something as ding-batty as that.. It was just a awkward sentence to say on tv.

 

[xer0]

yeah, silly comment from Monroe but not offensive at all.

 

[tomdalton22]

I am not easily offended...almost impossible for that to happen. However, I can see how some may be offended. Not by the comment itself but the double standard that exists. "White men can't jump" is a stereotype. You have a black commentator joking about a white stereotype. If a white commentator jokes about a black stereotype....shit will hit the fan.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yup I agree TD..

 

[Thundercats]

I don't find the comment offensive, but Craig Monroe is plenty offensive by simply saying anything. I can't stand him. He's a horrible "analyst", and literally uses popular phrases by every other analyst every time he does a segment. The way he uses his hands to make himself seem smart is also cringeworthy. I hope he loses his job just because he fucking sucks at what he does and I don't tune in to the postgames just because of him.

he is pretty brutal. Mateen Cleaves is the worst analyst i've ever seen though, he does the Pistons games.

I didn't watch the game. Was there a good reason to yank Price rather than leaving him in to try for a shut out?

Opening day and he was at 102 pitches and he had just given up 2 consecutive hits. So he brought in Nathan to face Torii. Ausmus visited the mound after the first guy reached base. I really think he did not want Price to go above 100 pitches. After he gave up the next hit he yanked him. It also gave the fans a chance to give Price a nice ovation.
