Game Preview.

 

[turok]

Tigers 4 hits all singles through 6, and Mize gave up 3 homers in the first two innings.

5-0 with Norris in relief bottom 6th.

Tigers left their bats in Houston, obviously.

 

[turok]

Schoop has 0 xbh in 50 PAs, and leads the team in Ks w/18.

Over a half dozen Tigers are hitting sub-Mendoza Line, w/Harry Castro @ the bottom @ .100, albeit in limited action. All 4 batters in the top 7th are hitting below .200. Schoop grounded out to third, Reyes singled, Jones and Greiner struck out.

 

[turok]

Joey got a ground out, gave up a walk, struck out the next batter then has walked the next 2 batters in the bottom 7th.

lol...walks a run in with his 3rd consecutive Base on Balls....6-0.

Lange in relief uncorks a WP...7-0 and the threshold for a blowout SHO.

 

[gotime909]

I'm not watching this team again until Jimenez is waived

 

[Mitchrapp]

Waive? Just release him.

 

[gotime909]

Waive? Just release him.

I dont care where he is as long as it's not on my screen

 

[turok]

Top 8th

Grossman groundout to second...Goodrum K swinging..Ramos groundout to 3rd...1-2-3.

Lange stays in...K swinging, groundout to third, K swinging...1-2-3.

Top 9th and last chance for the Tigers to avoid being SHO in consecutive games.

 

[turok]

Top 9th

Candelario flies to left.

Willie C Ks swinging.

Schoop grounds to second....Ballgame...4 game series 3rd loss, and the potential of being swept tomorrow looming.

Even the series?

Tigers had lost the first two games of this 4 game series, prior to this afternoon's loss.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well we knew the Astro series was a aberration.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man Al has put together a terrible hitting team together. Can the Tigers ever have a top pick hit like some other clubs. Didn?t Avila miss out on a trade with Houston for a top hitter a few years back ?

Damn I was so excited after the Houston series.

 

[turok]

Tigers may have given up on Jake Rogers, and Daz Cameron ain't ready for primetime as of yet...if ever.

Mize goes back to sucking. Well we got one good start out of that draft pick. Maybe. His next start he will rebound again. Wish they would get rid of JJ.

Mize is just a rookie who hasn't pitched enough to pass judgement upon him, one way or the other. Had Mize given up only a solo homer, and otherwise pitched a CG one-hitter, he still would have been the losing pitcher of record.

They were fortunate with guys like Schoop and Jones hitting above their weight last year. This year the guys are scuffling and there is no bat to help them out of it. Gotta spend fucking money at some point. They're going to save on starting pitching provided at least 2 of these guys pan out. Buy some God forsaken offense already. Insanity.
