Leyland said bullpen is "OK," but Coke won't pitch today

funny that the concencus is JV is having an off game and yet he has 8 ks and has only given up 1 run on a homer :/

I don't know if I would call it an off game, but he does not have the control he has had most games, hence the 3 BB's.

Thataboy Avila.. Taking pitches like a champ for the walk..

LOL all this talk about the Rays defense, and twice they blow GIDP.

 

[mhughes0021]

83 pitches this late in the game is kinda weak sauce on our part :/

 

[jdbaker1]

Nice to see them taking a few pitches this inning.

How does Tampa keep a team in town with such lousy crowds

 

[cmlfactor]

The strike zone seems to be shrinking...

 

[mhughes0021]

Shit, wasted opportunity.

They even gave us an extra out.

Tigers 7th inning,

Avila fastball outside, curve low, fastball high Avila didn't go around, inside for a walk,

Peralta slider inside, catcher out to talk, grounder to third throw to second out and throw to first is high and Peralta steps on first before the late tag,

Betemit changeup outside, fastball fouled back, throw to first, again, changeup outside, fastball outside, again for a walk,

pitching coach out to talk,

Kelly fastball strike call, bluffs to second, changeup outside, fastball inside and another appeal to third base ump on checkswing, curve is low, swings and misses on/off the corner full count, fastball in and pops it up foul to third,

Santiago waits as niemann is going to the movies he's picking his seat, fastball high, fastball strike call, curve swings and misses, curve ground foul, called strike curve,

niemann with 94 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.
