Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread August 2

[Mitchrapp]

That was close.

 

[mr23frahee]

Good inning max. Rain is getting close..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good inning by Scherzer.

Good inning max. Rain is getting close..

12 pitches for Scherzer. tough lineup they bash and steal bases.

It was pouring here the past 2 hours. finally stopped.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Looks like Ajax bunting a bit more. Or at least faking it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Damn. Too many double plays for Cabby.

 

[mr23frahee]

cabrera double play, inning over

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hoping we get his pitch count up and martinez get a chance. He's clutch.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't know what it is but it looks like each time Benemit fields a ball he's going to fall over

Quick top 2.

 

[kalinecountry]

Lucky that liner was right at Betemit. Remebering him with the royals he Is a bit shaky at third, and his throws to first don't inspire confidence.

 

[kalinecountry]

By the way, since coming off the DL, Maggs is up to .291 with his 1st inning single.

 

[mr23frahee]

martinez still hot

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maggs and Guillen minus Inge helps.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Fudge man.

 

[Monster]

anything minus inge improves a team.

 

[mr23frahee]

lewis is leaving half his pitches down the middle, half way out of the zone. we should be punishing him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Monster [/color]]anything minus inge improves a team.

No doubt.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Benemit>>>>>> Inge.

 

[mr23frahee]

jackson is the new inge, he looks AWFUL at the plate

 

[Monster]

i can't see the game right now, but you're right. It's weird with this team. It seems like we need to go through the lineup twice before hitting most days.

BTW, any news on the rains? Is it a big storm or one that will pass in an hour or two?
