Bad news on Dirks. Shit.


DETROIT -- When asked by a group of reporters about the status of Detroit Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks, manager Jim Leyland kept his answer short.

"He’s not doing too good," he said Friday.

Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand elaborated on Dirks' right ankle injury, but his update seemed to support Leyland's response.

It's not looking too good.

Dirks was eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Friday, but -- according to Rand -- the 26-year-old has reached "a sticking point" as he continues to recover from Achilles tendinitis.

"Andy's kind of reached a point, kind of a sticking point where it's bothering him to make one particular move that kind of irritates him," Rand said.

Quick...somebody go tie DY's hands behind his back before the 1st pitch...

 

[biggunsbob]

Hell I'd have left that pitcher in and walked Prince to get to Fatty Young.

Yup the classic pitch around..

Man talk about a good feelign with Prince, to well...maybe next inning feelign with Young.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Don't swing at all Young,

 

[manchild98]

He missed his pitch.

 

[jas5lf]

Dare I say.....a good AB by Young?

Nevermind......smh

 

[manchild98]

DY fouled off a lot of pitches and then K's on a ball.

Young up watching this guy's control problems takes the first pitch low, fastball outside, fastball fouled back, swings and misses another fastball at the knees, belt high fastball fouled back, fouled back, fouls another fastball, fouled down right, swings and misses chasing a slider low,

sigh.........

 

[cmlfactor]

One of his better ABs of the year and still can't do shit.

Someone should've told Brothers he was doing him a favor throwing all those pitches in the zone...

Fuck You Delmon.

8 god damn pitches right over the plate and you cant do shit with any of them?

They're fucking laughing their asses off in Minny right now...

 

[Mitchrapp]

Dare I say.....a good AB by Young?

Nevermind......smh

Unless its against a starter driving his PC up, its the same a 3-pitch strike out. IMO.

 

[biggunsbob]

just waste a pitch if you still have the count and DY will get himself out..

 

[cmlfactor]

Just keep thinking....

Victor in the 5 hole next year...Victor in the 5 hole...Victor in the 5 hole...

Dare I say.....a good AB by Young?

Nevermind......smh

Eh, fouling pitches off does not make a good AB...ask Inge.

Gotta put the ball in play damnit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

just waste a pitch if you still have the count and DY will get himself out..

We still singing ;-)

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn 10 lob's tonight..

 

[biggunsbob]

We still singing ;-)

Yes just a little tune because we tied the game but it is maddening we can't put this crappy team away at all...

 

[biggunsbob]

Where was pitch 3?

 

[Mitchrapp]

We need them to go 1 2 3 and then let Cuddyer get a hit next inning so fat and slow can hit into another DP.
