Meanwhile, the Cardinals and the Cubs are playing right now ?cross the pond, mate.

London Stadium.

I was thinking it?s an old cricket pitch, but nope, it was specifically built for Queen B (the real Queen B) to parachute into with 007 just before the guy whom byco insists is NOT Sir Paul played the na na na na thing we all remember watching fondly, simultaneously so recently, yet also so long ago.

Should we make this the countdown thread to the English Open?

Anyways, carry on.

Damn it terrible pitch. Tigers trail 2-0 another twins homer. What?s wrong with Marisnick arm in cf ? Slow footed guy tags twice on him before homer.
He has to get him going to third.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers trail 2-0 bottom third.

Tigers
Vierling single
Rogers double
Marisnick. Down 0-2. Now 2-2 After some fouls 9th pitch he k?s off speed pitch.
Mckinstry nice swing picks up the tigers double 2-2
Spencer just flys out to cf. man he misses good pitches. That hanger before was a meat pitch
Carpenter up. Again another pos umpire behind the plate.
Carpenter double yes ! 3-2 tigers
Baez does what he does K?s on a pitch at his head.
Tigers up 3-2. Heading to the 4th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Angels beat Rockies 25-1 last night. Crazy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Twins 4th

Lewis 0-2..single.
Just a stupid pitch sequence. He fouls off 2 pitches and then
Throws a pitch to close to a strike for a easy hit.
Waste a damn pitch maybe dang it l

Farmer K?s

Castro wtf. 4 pitch BB. ML not sharp this inning.

Gallo 2-0. Six balls in a row. 3-1. Damn it all
Pops out infield fly rule Baez let?s ball drop lol. 2 outs.
Glad he swung at it.

Vazquez up. 1-2 count, foul 2-2 count,
Wow Baez with a amazing play at shortstop!
3-2 tigers bottom 4th.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Angels beat Rockies 25-1 last night. Crazy.

I know, right?

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 4th

Maton single off bad read by Taylor in cf. wind aided
Ibanez sigh swings at first pitch pops out to 3rd.
Vierling 3-1 count 3-2. ( If he takes it?s a walk) Hits bat on semi check swing . Fouls off another ball.
Strikeout Maton caught swinging..

I just don?t understand sometimes taking on 3-1 counts? They would have had a walk and two runners
On and 1 out. I get that he has to throw a strike. But he also has to on 3-2 count.
We so struggle to score runs walks are good sometimes.

 

[biggunsbob]

I know, right?

Angels tied for the third wild card spot with Toronto.

Take the tigers a month to score that many runs lol.

Twins 5th

Taylor -F-9
Julien double
Solano 2-1 single runners at corners . ML just not sharp at all.
Correa 0-2 count, 1-2 count. Yes !

6-4-3 Inning over nice pitch by ML !

 

[biggunsbob]

Erie in Double A wins first half and clinches a playoff nice ! 37-31 record.

They started season 8-13:

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers fifth.
In search of the Elusive tack on runs !

Rogers 0-2 to 3-2. Strikes out on a pitch to close to take.
Marisnick. K?s. One if three hitters batting under .200
Mckinstry 1-2 . k?s

It?s ridiculous how this umpire is giving this twin pitcher anything close.
But not our pitcher.

Maton 1-2 count, 2-2 count., 3-2 count nice take
Flys out to medium rf. What has happened to Maton?s power? Hasn?t homered since June 5th.
That seemed like a meat pitch to me.

Tigers are Allergic to added runs.

Twins 7th

Vazquez 1-2 count K?s
Taylor 2-2 count. F-8
Jullien 0-2, 1-2 k?s (Twins. 7th)

Tigers Cisnero in

Solano 5-3 Spencer makes a great play sweep tag. Bad throw by Maton
Correa 1-2:count, foul nasty pitch K?s.

Pitching change Shreve in to face lefty.
Jeffers to pinch hit for Kepler 2-1 count. Singles runners on first and second.
Castro 1-2 count. Foull. Dang be careful, foul.
Another stupid pitch in a 1-2 count .
Just embarrassing pitching to throw anything close to a strike ro Castro when
You are ahead in the count or it?s 2-2 even.

Maton throws ball away and the game,is tied 3-3 why is he even playing. ( He is horrible fielder)
Castro would have been safe. Maton can?t play anymore. His is such a liability.
