[biggunsbob]

Did we just get a umpire break.. About time..

 

[manchild98]

Miggy K's and now we have a pitching change.

 

[manchild98]

Lefty comes in to face Prince. Prince is now 0-17 in this series after flying out to left.

 

[spockmaster]

young sucks so much.

 

[justinrose74]

young sucks so much.

I disagree. He blows

 

[spockmaster]

2 out walk to...seth smith. wat.

 

[manchild98]

Pitch counts don't mean shit for JV, but he has 104 pitches through 7 innings. No one warming up in the pen so he will start the 8th.

 

[manchild98]

The Tigers pretty much have the exact same stats they had at this time last year...both hitting, pitching and record. They are just barely better statistically this year.

 

[manchild98]

JV is done. Benoit is in for the 8th.

 

[manchild98]

JV 7 IP, 104 pitches, 2 hits, 1 ER, 1 walk, 8 k's...2.47 era for the year.

 

[gotime909]

Not happy to see JV get pulled. Need this game!

 

[manchild98]

Benoit leadoff walk. He struggles to get the first guy out everytime.

 

[gotime909]

Imagine that, bullpen walks the first batter. If they lose this game, Leyland is gonna have some explaining to do...

No he won't.

 

[lonesometiger]

That Barton guy I was scared of him he seem due with his .187 average?! now he's on second!

 

[gotime909]

Yeah, you're right. Cause this bullpen has been lights out.

 

[manchild98]

Benoit k's the next 2. Inning over.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Is he sick or something? 104 is paltry for Justin.

 

[manchild98]

Yeah, you're right. Cause this bullpen has been lights out.

So you're never supposed to use them? He should never be criticized for going to his 8th inning bullpen guy in the 8th inning. That's why he's on the team. He let his starter go 7. There's nothing to criticize. People need to perform. We're in game 34 of the year. You can't give up on your big dawgs now because they've struggled. They have to work their way out of it.

 

[dpinsea]

Raburn runs into one, He will probably start for the next two weeks now.
