Tigers verses M's April 26th

[Thumb]

To be fair, Boesch is probably seeing the best pitches of anyone in baseball with Cabrera and Fielder behind him.

Does not change the fact he is still driving in runs.

 

[gotime909]

To be fair that's probably not true.

Yeah, you're right. The smart play is to pitch around Boesch to get to Cabrera and Fielder. Good call

WTF are we doing using Benoit now?

Who do you want in there? Austin Jackson?

Are you guys serious with this stuff? A one run game in the ninth and you are wondering why the set up man is in?

 

[bassburns]

Benoit, 1 K, 1 BB. Come on!

boesch swings at everything, you dont need to give him good pitches. lineup protection is largely bullshit anyways.

Porcello never should have been pitching to figgins.... He already had 2 hits before the last one... Jim is dumb..

BS. He was fine. Induced a routine out that his fielder blew. Wake up.

Have we been swept by Seattle since that series after 35-5?

I'm sure we were in 03.

I've got no complaints about using Benoit here, but I do about getting our asses kicked at home by the shit Mariners and this pathetic over hyped crap ass offense though

10 consecutive games now with only 4 or fewer runs. Or maybe it's 11 hell I lost count.

he got figgins out, boesch is the one who played that into a double and a run (though i still agree that leyland is stupid, just not for that).

 

[bassburns]

Benoit Ks Olivo, 2 out.

Because players usually get pitched around.

Other than the elite of the elite, the Cabrera's, Brauns, Pujols', pitchers don't pitch around hitters.

Boesch could have Inge behind him, and pitchers wouldn't pitch him differently.

 

[biggunsbob]

NO HR"s for JP this year, nip zadda nutton

Like Albert!!!!!!

I was in the doctors office and had no radio signal.... When i got it back they said Figgins Doubled...

 

[bassburns]

Benoit strikes out the side.

 

[spockmaster]

K, BB, K, K. not bad.

 

[bassburns]

Dickerson makes the comment that it seems we haven't scored on League in years so I don't for see this ending well considering we are sending Kelly/Peralta/Raburn. Crap!

I tried to explain this the other day, when people where complaining about Avila's lack of protection.

No team in baseball, has (intentional) protection for their number 6 or 7 hitters.

Boesch would see the same pitches at 2, that he would at 5 or 6.

I'm starting to get on the bandwagon to move him to 5th though.

 

[tigermud]

Due up to complete the sweep

Crap
Garbage
Hrstshxt.

Catchable ball, Boesch misplayed it because he did not read the wind carry.

Got over his head.
