Tigers vs. Indians April 1, 2021 Game 1

is this where Boyd falls apart?

Chris Ilitch going through the Roledex of cliches and platitudes with his “visit” to the booth.

He’s never going to sign players to the terms that his father did. I think that this team will be a revolving door of players that get good moving on to other teams once they escape team control.

Lost chance with Candy's at bat. You need to put it in play.

Yup one of the big pet peeves. Put the ball in play and don’t give up any 0-2 hits.

He has to put that ball into play. Wish we could bunt better. I’d have used the Squeeze up 3 runs. Use it as a weapon to tack runs on. It’s just as good as a sac-fiy. Gotta be able to bunt I guess.

 

[tomdalton22]

Love the start but one gripe

So we DFA'd Nunez so that the opening day lineup can have Nomar .228 hitter Mazara DH?

I guess we're going with history there

probably because they needed a LH bat?

Detroit has 5 switch hitters lol

Oh well not trying to be negative with a nice start and it being opening day. Let's go Tigers

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ramos 6 pitches 2 k's.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Seemed like Detroit was drawing more walks in the spring. Greene was especially encouraging. Obviously Bieber is one of the best but tough start with ks.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That walk might kill Bob.

 

[biggunsbob]

The nibbler. That’s what Boyd is.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Have to throw strikes against everyone not named Ramirez in this lineup

 

[biggunsbob]

Kill me.
Miggy saves my life.

0-2 come on Boyd you dummy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Now that ended up pretty good. Now let’s get a couple tack on runs.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Is the pen any better?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I like Grossman.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

I like Grossman.

I know they liked his obp even though his average isn't anything tremendous. Some pop as well

 

[Mitchrapp]

DP, sweet.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not DP.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Definitely walk the dude before Ramirez

 

[Mitchrapp]

Woosh.

 

[biggunsbob]

Miggy 350 homers for Detroit
Miggy 138 homers for Florida.

I didn’t realize he had so many with Florida.
