Tigers vs. Royals May 13, 2021 Game 37

[biggunsbob]

Just don't get the walks from Soto.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Never walk a lead-off guy in this situation.

 

[biggunsbob]

Been listening and watching on and off all day. Can't post much because I'm busy with a new puppy my wife thought was a good idea .

By the way!

ITS NOT !

 

[biggunsbob]

Soto stinks. Had him 1-2 and freaking gave in.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lol, Bob.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just can't have a closer who walks batters.

 

[biggunsbob]

What a dumb manager
Swing 3-0

 

[biggunsbob]

Soto just isn't closer material.

 

[biggunsbob]

Frustrating.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Michael

643!

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice !

Sweep !

 

[biggunsbob]

Now that is closing!

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Went to Soto one too many times.

 

[turok]

Fulmer from SP to game start to RP to closer...whoda thunk it?

 

[biggunsbob]

Went to Soto one too many times.

Yeah maybe he was tired.

 

[turok]

Schoop @ .202 just hasn't been able to get it going yet...0-4 today.


5 of 9 in this afternoon's lineup are "hitting" @ ~.200 or lower...Ked 11x again.


Fulmer earns his second save...but Soto got a hold? hmm...not really.


twins losing to @ white sox in the 7th 3-1...if they lose the game, Tigers will then move into 4th in the ALCD by pct pnts.


Which they did 4-2.

I have to say, the starting pitching has been solid for the most part. If they can get any sort of hitting from these bats, they may not lose as many as most of us expect. Of course I felt optimistic after the Astros sweep, then the bottom fell out.

 

[turok]

Next up is a weekend series vs 4th place Cubs @ 17-19 and who DNP today. Cubs are on a 3 game losing streak...lets help them keep it going this weekend!

The Tigers have been playing now for 6 weeks. What are our two bloggers feeling and thinking? They?ve got 5 questions and only 2 sentences each to support their opinions. Oh, and today is focused on the guys in the dugout only, not the guys wearing suits.
