Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread June 25

5 runs in one inning? am i dreaming?

 

[tigermud]

BB used to hit stuff hard...now he never does.

He's doing the equlivant of a pitcher aiming instead of throwing. not swinging with authority, tentative bat guiding.

 

[gotime909]

For him it was a good ab this year... But you are right he is not see the ball or hitting it hard at all... maybe his thumb injury is still bothering him...

Judging by his hitting AND fielding, I'd say he's got an eye injury.

 

[Thumb]

See, every single guy in the lineup put solid wood on this kid, and Boesch saw a ton of pitches.

Gotta send him down to work with Bull Durham, because he's lost.

 

[gotime909]

This the first time batting around in the 1st this year? KC?

 

[jdbaker1]

Lets hope the Tigers don't let the bats go cold after this inning, not that they would ever do that or anything.

 

[Thumb]

Ouch, 40 pitch inning.

Showers running already.

Mediocre Rick will do, please no Bad Rick.

*Mental message to Porcello*: Keep the ball down Rick and we're going to be okay.

It might be, hope they have many more innings like this, got to start hitting.

No, they've had some 6, 7 and 8 run innings earlier in the year if I'm not mistaken.

Yes i agree he has needed to be sent down for awhile now but i would rather keep him long term over Young..

First series against Boston for sure.

 

[kalinecountry]

Thankfully I have Dan and Jim on the Gameday radio, mlb extra innings always has the home teams tv announcers.
Didn't show the childish hand clapping rangers manager ron washington and his bald head.
Bet when he wakes up in the morning he washes his face and combs his ass.

 

[jas5lf]

Last time they batted around was May 15th against the Sux in an 8 run 6th. Tigers sent 11 batters to the plate in that inning.

 

[Thumb]

Yes i agree he has needed to be sent down for awhile now but i would rather keep him long term over Young..

That's why I'm saying send him down, he has potential if he can ever fix whatevers wrong.

Young I would just put on waivers tomorrow.

 

[jdbaker1]

Here we go, and there goes the no no.

 

[kalinecountry]

4 out inning coming up grounder past Fielder,

come on get a dp.
