WOW!!! Who would have thought!!! HR JACKSON!!!


I was just hoping he didn't GIDP.

After Betemit K'd I figured it would be the same for Raburn and Ajax.

 

[jmakula87]

Tigers 6th inning,

Betemit takes up and in strike call, fouled back, swings and misses a curve at 70,

Raburn line drive single for mudhen,

Jackson waits throw to first, takes a strike, fly to deep left and Jackson with a 2 run homer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tigers lead 2 - 0,

Jackson said enough of that soft crap, Boom,

Boesch takes high, inside strike call, slow curve strike call, fastball way high, jammed and he still swings popped to second,

Young takes high, swings and misses, again, high, drilled to deep left and right at the friggin wall,

Peralta and Young both miss homeruns by a foot or two,
Jackson didn't miss,

tomlin with about 80 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 0.

I like Young and am glad we picked him up, I think the sky is the limit for him, but it's eerie how he's done nothing all year to be a #3 hitter, yet even though he's not on our team the whole year, he might as well have been, because Jimmy bats him 3rd despite a season's worth of evidence he is not a #3 hitter. Boesch, Perralta, Avila, all have shown they'd be good there. WTF?

Big Homer by Ajax though!!! Come one Max, 1 more.

People have said the sky was the limit with him for the last 5 seasons.

Disagree, it's all lefties for Cleveland, 3 of them likely to start the 8th, nothing wrong with Coke against the lefties or even schlereth.

Thank god Raburn is replaced at 2B.

Betemit just don't so anything stupid....



SHIT...Perry warming up, and either coke or Schlereth

Well disagree if you like, but Schlereth and Coke are not known for slamming the door.

They're known for opening windows.

True but he's still only 26..

 

[jmakula87]

At least we finally know that JL has recognized that Santiago is a better fielder than Raburn. I'm sure some of us questioned his disillusionment/sanity with that whole situation.

Lefties batting .302 with a .757 OPS against Benoit.

26 and losing tools fast.

Remember he was once considered a 5 tool player, now he's just a tool.

I don't think he was drafted with 5 tool in people's mind.. I read about his potential power.. People compared him to Pujols in the hitting category.. Never had any type of range..

 

[biggunsbob]

Bullshit..

Fuck you Joe West.
