Tigers vs. athletics Game Thread May 12

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..

I would give just about anything for someone to step up in that clubhouse and get in there shit.

11k's now

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

Yeah...

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.

Good luck with that.

Nice strike fuck face ump..

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

It was, with a little push of the bat to punch it past Coke, gameday also had it as a bunt.

Last hit 5th inning..

And Yet Lloyd fixed Jackson.

I'd love to blame McClendon for all of this, but if it was his advice that made Prince hit like shit for 2 weeks, don't you think Prince would go back to whatever he was doing with the Brewers?

But I think Leyland, or DD, or even Ilitch needs to sit these guys down and scream at them, they really don't seem like they care.

Miguel may get kicked out here in a minute.

Jackson had that high leg lift ALL LAST SEASON. Does that mean we'll have to wait til this offseason for him to "fix" this mess?

I have no clue what the problem is but something needs to be done.. this team is missing something big time...

Might as well have the players mothers bat on Sunday..

I'm not making excused for Lloyd.

I'm just pointing out that you can't put all this on him. He made Ajax a better hitter this year, and gets no credit, but when anyone (or everyone) else can't hit he gets all of the blame.

But like I said, Prince is not hitting, and I don't think it has a damn thing to do with Lloyd, because he could always do what Inge did and just ignore his advice.

 

[biggunsbob]

Were those breaking balls.... weird how he k's on them..

Agree 100%

And fire Lloyd if they want, maybe it helps, maybe it won't but at least we won't have to guess anymore.

and it seems passion is what's missing, or maybe chemistry.

I'll tell you what's missing from this offense...two words...

Victor Martinez

Patient...works the count...gets big base hits...

 

[tigermud]

how many games did it take for them to go back to swinging at all the shit like this? 3? Delmon Young is by far the worst offender right now. Someone needs to get in his grill!!

The Tigers slow start to the season has ensured that V-Mart will take over Polanco's role as most overrated recent Tiger.

Man we needed to make hay against these weak-assed teams this month, because June is going to suck.

 

[biggunsbob]

Here comes a reverses double jinx...

I WILL EAT MY LAST 2 POPSICLES REALLY FAST....THEY ARE GREEN LIME ONES THAT I HATE... GOTTA KEEP TRYING THINGS!!!!

 

[cmlfactor]

Boston did us a favor and took care of Cleveland too...would be nice if we could take advantage...
