That's a weird lineup even with a LHP. And 2 LF. How's that going to work.

Fixed: Must have been a copy-paste thing. But there are also no restrictions on where OFs need to position themselves, so it's plausible to put two players in LF. :shrug:

I always thought the 3 OF should all lineup in CF one in back of another in back of another and when the ball is hit they just break to where it's going to go.

The Tigers have 57 wins when they score more runs than the other team. Is that a record or something?

Sometimes, when people try too hard to be funny??..they aren?t.

Not yet. Another 48 wins like that and they will break the franchise record of 104.

Rogers batting ahead of miggy eh? AJ is getting creative.. i think

 

[coulomb]

Ibanez Homerun.

1-0 Tigs.

If you were to bet that the tigers would have been hitting this many home runs, you would be rich. Like 1-1000 odds... given the history

 

[coulomb]

Tork walks, takes 2nd on wp.

Carp singles & drives him home.

2-0 tigers

 

[coulomb]

meadows singles, short ground rule doubles him to 3rd.

Mckinstry sac flies meadows home

3-0 tigs

 

[tomdalton22]

I don't understand all of the errors that Tork has committed. He seems to make some great picks at first and then makes a ton of errors. Mabye a concentration issue? I thought coming out of college he was supposed to be a plus defender at first.

 

[coulomb]

bitches in blue are pretty quiet so far tonight.

send em back to the windy city disappointed please.

btw completely clueless fanbase.. i'm guessing half of them think they are at a football game.

Homers 10 and 11 for Olson. We have a bunch of pitchers over 10 homers.
That lead disappeared fast. For a guy with a 1.232 whip his era is sure hig
61/17 k/bb. Homers are Olson?s issue.

 

[tomdalton22]

I'm not sold on Olson

 

[biggunsbob]

Have a day Mr Ibanez 3 rin jack ! 7-4 tigers !

 

[biggunsbob]

I'm not sold on Olson

Other then Homer's I think his numbers are decent. Learn and be better next season.
He is still young.

let's hope

I think Olson could be much better as a late inning reliever
