Tigers vs. indians Game Thread July 25

[Mitchrapp]

That was just a dumb at bat. No chance Kelly was getting a hit.

Imagine that, Boesch's spot comes up again after pulling him for Kelly.

I really do wish Jim would stop taking away an AB for Boesch every night.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I like those quick outs.

You have MTG about 40 more times this season.

Hey Thumb? Berry still huge?

Not sure I understand what you mean.

Think you mean to be sarcastic and say overrated.

He had a good game, I'm happy. He's still not productive enough for a full-time corner outfielder. Watch how fast he hits the bench when Dirks comes back.

But you've been bitching about him while Dirks is on the DL. Its either Berry, Raburn or Kelly. Who you think is getting the hits?

I have not been "bitching" about him. I have simply pointed out that where several people think he's a solution, he actually is not.

He had a nice game today, and I'm glad, he hit a big HR against the Sox, and I'm glad, but he's not producing what we need out of a full time left fielder.

He'll be valuable off the bench, or possibly as a trade piece, but we need more production than he's likely to give us.

Hopefully Dirks can hit like he was before he got hurt.

Again you missed the boat. He was a good solution while Dirks was gone. No one expects him to make the 2012 lineup as a starting outfielder. But he was our best bat while we had injuries. And he's come through. Not perfect but I'm glad we had him.

Does anybody think that Andy Dirks is going to hit like he did before he got hurt? If Dirks produces like Berry has the we will be lucky. I don't think either one are every day OF but I like Berry a little better just becuase of his speed.

No boats missed Mitch.

Berry has done a good job as a replacement, I have said this.

He's not a full time guy is all.
