If Leyland has a problem with that move, fire him to!

So that's what a good bunt looks like

 

[biggunsbob]

Speed... we don't have any..

 

[kalinecountry]

that's how you bunt Tigers.

Well maybe 72-90 will win the division..

that's our pace right now?

This team is in a serious funk right now..it's hard to really explain why they are so inept at the plate but it sure is frustrating to watch.

This funk can't last forever tho (right?...right??) Cabrera wont hit .270 the entire season, Fielder should get some pop in his bat eventually, and the rest of the team should atleast be serviceable..and not hitting under .200.

The one nice thing is the Tigers pitching has been really steady. I believe hitting is easier to fix than pitching, so you'd have to think that eventually they will turn it around..But it's super frustrating now

that's how you bunt Tigers.

I'm confuse....my gametracker says fielders choice at 2nd

Ballgame... Our Great bullpen implodes again..

Like it matters when you can't hit anyway.

 

[gotime909]

Damn, is this 2003?

 

[tigermud]

The 30th ranked Offense has better hitters than we do. They wait for something they can hit, we don't.

 

[biggunsbob]

And Jim leaves him in...Dingbat's in action..Coke and the Smokey

 

[biggunsbob]

Will there be a clubhouse meeting soon?????

 

[tigermud]

They make you throw a strike when the pitcher is struggling to throw them.

Even a 30th ranked offense understands that one.

It's time to Fire Llyod, someone must be made accountable for this. It's not like this hasn't been a problem in the past either, enough is enough. Lloyd must go, he can't get through to these guys we must find someone who can.

This is just unreal.

Fister starts the game getting hit hard, then shuts them down for 5 innings, turn it over to Coke and it's like Jose Mesa is out there.

And Brandon McCarthy is doing a Verlander impersonation.

what's the chance I'm dreaming all of this and it's really only March 1st?

 

[mattym]

Damn, is this 2003?

Feels like it the last 24 hours.

(On the plus side, C. Rogers looks like the real deal in Lions camp.)

 

[biggunsbob]

Where was that in Seattle Jack-face

I agree... But some on here will say "well you know it has to be the players"

Well last I checked we were a team and i know the damn players are stinking.. But there needs to be some different thinking from the manager and coaches because what they are say is not working..
