Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread April 22

Is our hitting hype falling into the same pattern as 2008.... All hype and no bite...

I miss VMart. Hopefully the warm weather cliche will change things.

 

[biggunsbob]

I hope so.... Because this sucks...

He NEEDS to get on base as a leadoff hitter. The last 2 times up he led off the innings with a lazy fly ball. He's free swinging right now early in the count.

Not sure I'd call those lazy fly balls.

The outfielders have barely had to move to make the play.

But they were hit good. Lazy fly means not hit good and has some laziness to it, if that makes sense .. :cheers:

Because they were standing 400 feet from home plate...

Jackson is 2nd (behind Fielder) in OBP for this team. He has been the least of our worries.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I want the Rangers pen..

 

[tigermud]

[Thumb]

Prince walkoff please.

Surprising getting a lot of walks.

Go back and watch his last at bat. Took the first pitch for a ball, then swung at the next 4 pitches. 2 of which were definate balls and 1 that was borderline. Took another ball that was 2 feet off the plate and then golfed a ball at his shins right to center. 5 swings that at bat and only 1 ball actually was in the strike zone.

Ok it is Lou Whitaker bat and black cat time!!!!!!!

He leads the team in walks too. He has 9, Miggy has 7, Prince 6. AJ does also lead in K's with 17. But he's our top OPS guy.

But they wren't lazy fly. Not the definition of lazy fly.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well he did get one pitch ..

 

[manchild98]

Prince tired to end it...but hit a "lazy fly ball" instead.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it be patient and wait for a good pitch..

 

[tigermud]

he tried.

This adams guy winds up into a batters stance before he delievers, that's just weird.

 

[manchild98]

DY is trying to end it too....K'd instead.
