Sure would be nice to snag this series.. Especially after hitting so poorly last night verses Westbrook.

Good to have Avila back.

Tigers need to trade for an OFer ASAP, other than Jackson, they all suck.

Decided to look around at some stats, these two teams see the lowest amount of pitches per plate appearance.

Anyone know the roster move that made room for Avila?


NM I see they send Holiday down even though Laird is day-to-day.

Not a bad first half-inning.

Sent Holaday down to Toledo.

And Mudhen gets us our first hit of the game, a double.

Avila comes back and picks up the first pitch habit.

 

[buddyboy2121]

Kid has nasty movement on his pitches.

 

[Thumb]

Damn, a base runner at least each inning for him.

 

[buddyboy2121]

Needs to command his pitches better though.

 

[tigermud]

Too many walks

 

[Thumb]

54 pitches through 3.

Needs to have a 1-2-3 inning soon or he's only going to make it 5-6.

I think baseball analysts put too much into pitch count. Why can't a guy go 150 pitches in?

Is this a serious question? You're asking why pitchers don't get to throw 150 pitches a game?

 

[biggunsbob]

Our bats are still sleeping..

 

[tigermud]

Raburn with the only hit first time through? what's that tell ya. my o my offense back into it's funk already?

Hang on everyone, the thumb is about to explain why you are all idiots and he is the all knowing.
