Tigers vs. Indians August 16, 2020 Game 19

[biggunsbob]

How many catchers has Detroit drafted the last 10-15:years? Seems like they are always whiffing with that pick. Maybe the kid from Osu will be the one. They seem to pick a lot of them.

We don?t know unless we try. Verlander pitches a bunch of games at 23. What the hell are they waiting for with Mize ? Perfect season to find out what you have. Not with Big Al though.

This is an article that KC posted a few days ago. Some good points IMO

Its as if they know exactly what we're pitching. Either they're stealing signs or we just suck. I think I know the answer to that.

A Fulmer starts the game giving up HRs and another Fulmer comes in late and gives up a HR.

Fulmers suck

8-4



20 consecutive losses piling up.

Cleveland famously chokes in the postseason though.


Seems like every time that they have played for the AL Pennant or the WS Championship, they go up 3-1 and then lose the last 3 to blow it.

 

[tomdalton22]

The Tigers had a lot of early games against the shitty Central teams (13 games vs. KC, Pitt & the Reds)

They have 41 games left after today. I would be surprised if they get to 20 wins

Cmon Migwell, make it close!


Walks, Tigers RISP rally.

This season's rookie class is large, and oh yes, they're in charge.

Avila and Owner are still shitheads, I think the reason now is later in the month Mize loses Super 2 status as well. So maybe then he is brought up. If not I bet he is gone as soon as he is a FA. f'n Tigers brain trust is still brain farts.

Although dan and jim we are talking about it on the radio broadcast. Maybe this week.
