Tigers vs. reds Game Thread June 8

[tazmac]

Yeah and Fuck. We got the lead but this means at least another week in the starting lineup for DY

 

[buddyboy2121]

Yeah!!

 

[Thumb]

Well, that was a surprise.

 

[tigermud]

LOL, blind squirrel finds a nut leyland looks like a genius now. Why anyone ever throws him anything in the zone is beyond me.

 

[xer0]

one thing i can say from watching young, don't throw him strikes and he won't hurt you.

 

[manchild98]

Below hitting.

That goddamned hack Young looked absolutely awful his last at bat, missing pitches by 2/3 feet like cringe and mudhen. now he gets a lollipop and hits it out.
go figure.
Tigers lead 5 - 4,
do we lead baseball in most homeruns with nobody on base.

 

[tigermud]

hopefully that injury doesn't hurt jackson's game much.

how do you guys see him doing once he gets back?

I suspect he'll be rusty yet for a few games.

Throw him balls and he will strike out.

 

[tazmac]

He made contact at least. Didn't look to bad.

 

[manchild98]

DY's homer estimation...441 feet.

Agree. He was 1 for 8 at AAA, it'll take a game or two before he gets the timing back down probably.

Maybe Delmon needs to play LF more, his splits when he plays in the field are crazy compared to when he DHs.

No.

When is Dirks due back? This offense could get a nice jumpstart when he and AJ return.

 

[kalinecountry]

taked Below out and brings in the rookie Jose Ortega?

 

[jas5lf]

Oh God, who's this Ortega guy?

 

[buddyboy2121]

No.

In LF: .308 Avg, .368 OBP, .423 slug

As DH: .244 Avg, .270 OBP, .370 slug

 

[kalinecountry]

delmon,
Slugging .472 as a LF, hitting .309.
As a DH: .270 avg./.370 slg.

Tigers stuck between a rock and a hard place with these players who are defensively sucktastic.

 

[manchild98]

Tie game.
