It is going to be difficult for Miggy to get to 100 RBI.

It is going to be difficult for Miggy to get to 100 RBI.

Especially if he's not going to be patient and not making pitchers throw strikes, the whole trying to force it issue over taking what you're given issue half the lineup has on a given day.

As a group they are too impatient alot of the time. Trying to make something happen and then become over anxious and chase.

 

[kalinecountry]

Trumbo should shut his pie hole when talking to Miggy unless trumbo want to eat his next steak through a straw.

Yup.

Tillman fresh off the DL, no rehab starts doesn't look to have command of at least one of his pitches so far why not take a strike, started Kinsler 2-0 swings pops up to right, maybin took him 3-2 before a nice double, Miggy swings through a first pitch high fastball JD doesn't take a strike, upton swngs at stuff off the plate, also doesn't take a strike first. On and on, helping the pitcher out way too much

 

[tigermud]

That wasn't a strike this ump is terrible which makes it worse now they'll have even less incentive to stay in the zone and not be over aggressive, well we can always hope jv throws a complelete game shutout

 

[kalinecountry]

Almost all the umps suck. Full of themselves and making bad calls.

 

[tigermud]

Wow this ump is having a bad day, some really bad strike calls for both teams so far

 

[kalinecountry]

There's a pitch JV wants back a belt high 4 seam FB and bourn hits it out, Fuck.

 

[tigermud]

Well there goes that, jv groves one to friggen broun

 

[papacrick]

a guy with no power hits a no doubter making that the 27th long ball JV has given up this year. It always seems to be that exact same pitch that guys are taking him deep on. The belt high fastball right over the middle. Fahck!

 

[tigermud]

Jv not looking sharp now, he's rushing it...the Hr got him all flustered, no confidence what so ever in the offense..
Lions start at 4:25

 

[kalinecountry]

15 of Verlander's career-high 27 HRs allowed have come with two outs.
Five of those with him one strike from getting out of inning.

High pitch count this inning, Tigers are screwed.

 

[kalinecountry]

JV with a pick off of machado at 2nd base and ends the inning.

As long as the offense can't get it's act together, it's just a matter of how long it takes to be dropped out of contention.
