It's the second inning and no second guessing on the lineup choices. Am I in the right place?

I think you are. Just got up from a nap it time to see the Tigers take the lead. Good omen. Come on rook get the Ball in play and get outs now and with that said the third out is recorded. Thanks

 

[jas5lf]

We need runs against this team as they hit home runs in bunches. 1 or 2 runs probably won't be good enough tonight.

 

[nsonnett14]

lol this team can do no right

 

[jas5lf]

More piss poor base running. That ball wasn't deep enough to score Kinsler. wtf?

Pry about the best lineup we can put out there id say , what ya think ?

 

[lonesometiger]

Yea McCann starting against the right hander is questionable.

I think they like and want him to catch the young guys would be my only guess

Fulmer got 5 in the books. More would be nice. It's the Pen that worries me.

 

[nsonnett14]

Lets see if we can actually tack on a few here !!

 

[nsonnett14]

at least we cant hit into a double play now

 

[nsonnett14]

lol huge break for tigers , what is the ump looking at ?

 

[nsonnett14]

so the asshole strikes out anyway , vmart needs a week off or something he sucks . JD should be batting cleanup

 

[lonesometiger]

Two key strikeouts in this game we need a J.D. hit.

Thank you!

 

[nsonnett14]

YES !!!!! JD comes through big time !!

 

[tigermud]

whew! I was getting ready to bitch up a strom if JD hadn't come through there

 

[Thundercats]

J.D. is the Tigers most valuable hitter.. and ironically, he's the one we're going to let get away because we wasted all our money on a bunch of has-beens.

 

[jas5lf]

This bastard Schoop always kills the Tigers. Fuck!

I had no complaints but I rarely make complaints about the lineup as I'm not privied to information outside of basic statistics. As much as I might not like Ausmus, he's forgotten more about baseball than I'll ever know.
