Tigers vs. Royals game thread April 18th

[Mitchrapp]

well so would I personally, but it's not about us, its about the strengths and weaknesses of the offensive bats that play for the Detroit Tigers. They hit this 100+ guy just fine yesterday after they couldn't do jack with Chen and that is the whole point. Same story tonight, they can't square up the 83 but make good contact with the 100. We need to figure out what the best FB line up would be vs what would be a good off speed lineup. Here's what i'm thinking so far just for shits and grins.

FB Lineup:

Dirks
BB
Cabrera
Fielder
Young
Avila
Peralta
Raburn
Santiago

Off Speed Lineup:

Jackson
BB
Cabrera
Fielder
Peralta
Avila
Worth
Kelly
Laird

If Inge isn't there it's just out right bad.

LOL, I considered him for the FB lineup but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I love how he just hurts the ball.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Laird is doing okay.

 

[tigermud]

You see that Laird got an off speed pitch and he got a single, hence the reason he's in the off speed lineup. I know this team.

and next was Jackson with his predictable result as he is also in the off speed lineup mind you.. LOL.. oh boy.. I need to get out more..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Bad at bat there AJ.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jackson free swinging again... damn it Jim should have had him sacrifice.

 

[Mitchrapp]

They bring in a LHP to face BB, and his .320 average? Lol.

I love it when teams do that, BB can't hit lefties all the same, do teams not know this?

I am going to Black cat this pitcher

[Mitchrapp]

Extremely happy Cabby is getting some hits again.

 

[Mitchrapp]
