Oh boy, not Wentz again. *facepalm*

 

[gotime909]

Yeah, im really hoping we see a solid start from Wentz tonight to follow up his good outing last time.

I haven't seen him pitch at all this year, but looking at his game logs, it appears he sucks. 6.37 ERA & a 1.60 WHIP isn't very impressive.

Nothing like losing the game in the first inning..

Tigers are getting really really good at that lately..

4-0 them.

1 fucking out.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice.. not not not not.

 

[Mitchrapp]

7-0 no outs in 2nd.

 

[Mitchrapp]

8-0 after 2 1/2.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ahh, Wentz got taken out.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Big fat bummer.

 

[biggunsbob]

Guess we know what we have in Wentz.

 

[kalinecountry]

This sounds like they are rolling over and packing it in. just my opinion.
A lot of shit going on since E-Rod opted out at the last minute, and it doesn't matter if he has a right to do this, he has shown since last year with the 10 week ghosting of the team that he is all about himself. Just about every single player that clown shoes got in return is not performing; Baez, Meadows, and lesser name players. It would not surprise me if AJ either opts out and leaves for a more stable team, or that Harris has him become the GM and they get another manager.

Hey Joey was traded to the tigers on my son?s birthday in another great Avila move.

Transactions
June 9, 2016: Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 1st round (40th pick) of the 2016 amateur draft. Player signed June 15, 2016.

July 31, 2019: Traded by the Atlanta Braves with Travis Demeritte to the Detroit Tigers for Shane Greene.

I just don?t understand why Meadows or Mallory can?t get a shot in Detroit ? Toledo is 13 games under .500 and not playing for anything.

 

[biggunsbob]

Rosters only expand to 28 in September so not everyone can get called up unless they send some guys packing.


Mlb rules on September call ups.
From Sept. 1 through the rest of the season, active rosters will expand again to cover 28 players, no more no less. Teams can carry 14 pitchers at most too to cut down on the endless parade of bullpen arms that often made September games a slog. The hard cap at 28 is an important distinction from Septembers of old

September.

In other baseball news;
Umpire Angel Hernandez missed 23 calls in the #Yankees #Astros game.

He now has the lowest correct call rate in the league.

Alex "wild thing" Lange ladies and gentlemen

 

[biggunsbob]

Lange has walk 3 guys in each of his last three games. Then he a hits a guy.
Guess we have another head case. It?s all between his ears.
