That was a nice changeup to strike out Hafner. So far hes throwing inside.

He needs to throw inside more to the lefthanders with that tailback 2 seam, you think?
Porcello splits: vs Right 209 AB, 3 HR, 22 RBI, .234 .288 .359 .646
Vs Left 320 AB, 10 HR, 45 RBI, .334 .375 .500 .875

Boesch giving a battle..

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was an at bat.

 

[tigers99888]

GIDP.. What else is new?

 

[kalinecountry]

Jackson strikes out swinging, first k in 8 games,

Boesch with a great at bat 11 pitch single.

Young with a grounder to third for a double play, crap,

jimenez with 18 pitches,

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice pitch.

 

[mjsb2]

Good start so far from Rick.

 

[kalinecountry]

That's what I was talking about tailback action to lefthanded batters.
whether a 2 seam, or that changeup, hotdogsantana gave up on the pitch

 

[tigers99888]

Rick looking strong early..

 

[kalinecountry]

suck donald,
Porcello 20 pitches this inning after the walk to hannrahan,
marson grounds to Porcello,
Rick with 36 pitches.

 

[mjsb2]

Those girls need to stop yelling swing every damn pitch.

 

[tigers99888]

Rick looking average now..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Those girls need to stop yelling swing every damn pitch.

No freakin doubt

I agree. I think Porcello is looking average right now. I thought he was capable of throwing 94/95. Right now 92 is about as high as he can get.

That's what happens when you bring up a pitcher prematurely..

 

[Mitchrapp]

How can you go from strong to average in two guys? Lol.

mediocre pitch count per inning, walking and allowing a hit..
