Dixon Machado gets the start at shortstop in his first game back up in place of Jose Iglesias, but that?s just the start of the adjustments tonight.
With lefty Cole Hamels on the mound, Casey McGehee moves up to the second spot in the order.
Mike Aviles, 3-for-7 with two home runs off Hamels, gets the expected start, but in center field rather than short. It?ll be his fifth career Major League start in center, and his first since Aug. 28 of last season.
With Matt Boyd on the mound, Jarrod Saltalamacchia gets the start against the lefty; he has two homers against Hamels.

Aviles in centerfield, ausmus has totally lost it.

So he finally sits McCann and it's against a lefty

 

[lonesometiger]

Birthday meal tonight so will miss early innings. Over and under for a Tiger win -1 tonight so that is a under. With the way the Tigers are being managed lately Ranger sweep possible!

After he hit a home run verses a rhp . It makes no sense :/

Brad logic, does it ever make sense?

 

[tigermud]

Monroe says he thinks upton needs a day off,


They all just had a day off on Thursday :shrug:

 

[tigermud]

Nutton, offense leaves em loaded

He needs something

 

[tigermud]

He needs something

I was thinking somethng like dealing him away if anyone is willing to take the contact might be nice

 

[tigermud]

Single
Single
Pop up
Force out
Upton auto out

Nutton again, :-(

 

[kalinecountry]

Nutton, offense leaves em loaded

That's 2 more runner stranded....

 

[tigermud]

More stupidity on the base paths...nobody is surprised

 

[manchild98]

Aviles is an idiot. Zero reason to try and go to 3rd on that hit. Just an awful base running team

 

[manchild98]

Jesus H Christ

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lol.

 

[tigermud]

Lead off 4 pitch walk

Single to left and aviles thrown out trying to take third on a single to left? Yes because he's a dumbass

Called third for out number 2 on a pitch that looked high to me

High pop bloop single to right but salty out at home because of course he is

Once again tigers threaten but choke on a duck

 

[coulomb]

son of a bitch! this is fn painful to watch

 

[gotime909]

The fucking base running of this team under Lossmus has been horrendously bad

 

[tigermud]

Salty wasn't running that out very hard like he should have been from contact, there were two outs..team is asleep, they just don't have the same engery without the maybin
