Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread April 19

[tigermud]

Gebus Texas 8 hits already through 3 innings, they are a well oiled hitting machine, was this the kinda offense we was supposed to have?

 

[kalinecountry]

I saw earlier that Pudge has decided to hang up the spikes.

Kinda sad, 3 guys who were very big parts of turning the Tigers from a losing team into a competitive team retiring, Guillen, Mags, Pudge.

Maybe Inge will decide to make it 4.

lighting a novena candle.

The bats really need to show up tonight and for the rest of this series or we have no chance. Getting frustrated.

Tigers batting 3rd inning,

Santiago 2 and 2, fastball runs in and Little Buddy backs away full count, high for a walk,
F Yu doesn't like not getting a high strike,

Jackson with a semi swing fooled on a slider, throw to first, fastball lined foul, called out on strikes low on the black barely,

Boesch strike call, fastball outside, fastball fouled back, throw to first, chases a f'n curve, can't he pick up the spin and lay off,

Cabrera first pitch fly to center,

F Yu with 52 pitches,

Benoit and Valverde might be unavailable tonight.

They haven't really shown up since the opening series, this may be a long long painful series, Texas looks unbeatable right now and our offense is in the dumps.

:ashamed:

Hmm...


Dan Dickerson: "And Daniel Schlereth coming on to close out the 9th".
Jim Price: "I wish I was still home with the flu".

Texas does everything well. Now they bunt for a hit.

As soon as Kaline posted that I thought...tonight is turning into a Schlereth kinda night.

 

[manchild98]

He was safe....man they are aggressive.

 

[manchild98]

Inning over...no damage. C'mon bats...wake up!!!

 

[coulomb]

the fact that this is 2-0 is a gift from god. cmon bats. its time

How much longer can the kid pitch out of jams before they hit us for 4 or 5 runs in an inning?

Ryan Perry v2.0 throwing in the bullpen.....yippy....

 

[kalinecountry]

Wilk pitching 4th inning,

FFnapoli and the sonofabitch lines a single to left,

torreabla fly to left and Kelly has it,

gentry drops a bunt down the line and Cabrera barehands it but holds on to it first and single,

10 freakin hits,

kinsler 2 and 0, fly to right and Boesch has it, both runners tag up and the throw is to second he looked out, maybe, replay shows safe,

2 out and second and third,

ff andrus grounder to Cabrera and the throw to Prince,

Wilk with 66 pitches,

Balester was starting to warmup, maybe another inning or a bit longer for Wilk,

Given up alot of hits but has stranded 12.

 

[manchild98]

Prince is hitting .727 (8 for 11) after Miggy gets a hit this year.

 

[jas5lf]

That's more like it!! Put a couple on the board boys.

 

[jas5lf]

That last pitch to Avila was just nasty.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ones better than none..

 

[manchild98]

Kelly with an rbi groundout. 2-1.

 

[dpinsea]
