Where the fuck is that last pitch ?

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Skubal has stuff. Just find the damn plate man

 

[biggunsbob]

Skubal is a 24 year old lefty. He needs to put it together or he ends up in the pen.

Gets out of a mostly self induced bases loaded jam.

Down 2-1 top of the fifth .

 

[biggunsbob]

Baddo needs to get closer to the plate against lhp. He is way off the plate.

Another dingbat swings at the first pitch. Make him work.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well shit.
Tigers hitters have gone cold.

 

[biggunsbob]

What am I looking at here for Skubal?s minor league numbers ? Is it just the k to bb rate to innings pitched ?
It would be nice if he could lock that starting spot down. But he has to pitch better.

Seems like he could by a lights out relief pitcher.

 

[biggunsbob]

Buck looks great on the first 2 batters. Groves a fastball that gets smoked for a homer.

 

[biggunsbob]

Buck should have had a easy inning but he didn?t . Tigers down 3--1 top of the sixth.

 

[biggunsbob]

That?s a bomb !

3-2 now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Goodrum?s 400+ homer makes it 3-2 now. Bottom 6th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Look out JJ is pitching.

 

[biggunsbob]

JJ
5 pitches walk.

 

[biggunsbob]

So far A?s 6th inning.

BB
K
BB 7th Tiger walk. JJ gives in and is not close on that last pitch.
BB (Once JJ gets to 3-2 he just seems to resign himself to the walk)
JJ pulled
BB

I?m not so sure I?d be bringing JJ into a 1 run game. That?s on AJ.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Walk when you first come in I hate that so much.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on ump poor J) that was a strike on 2-2

 

[Mitchrapp]

Before he came in I wondered why Jimenez was still here..

 

[lonesometiger]

walk the bases loaded

 

[biggunsbob]

Need a DP .

 

[biggunsbob]

walk the bases loaded

I?m just not a fan of JJ. He just can?t seem to put it together.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn our pen sucks,
