Tigers vs. twins Game Thread April 4

[johnny2x2x]

Man, if we drop 2 out of 3 to Minny, what an anti climactic way to start the season.

From what I have read online, yesterday's exhilarating (for them) walkoff win has emboldened much of the twinks fanbase, w/some homers even going as far as to post about who they might meet in the ALDS...lol...(or is that gonna be morso dlol after another potential Tigers loss here today?)

Starting to look like another 4 IP for the bullpen this game.

It's been a sore point for me for a few seasons, our batters don't work the pitch count, and our pitchers don't pound the strike zone. Virtually every game we will face less pitches than we throw.

Avila leadoff walk...

This is why it is nice to have Prince hitting behind Miggy, no way he sees a strike otherwise.

This!!! WTF???!!!

2 BBs, and we have RISPw/one out.


But to score or not to score..that is still in question.

Hunter sac-bunts the Tigers Alex and Austin to 2nd and 3rd, but now there are two outs.

Miggy fails to score 'em...sigh.

I know Leyland has his haters and his defenders, but I believe that managing is like playing, you have hot and cold streaks, Leyland has started the season on a very cold streak.

Offense has to be better than this, picking up right where they left off last year not scoring enough runs. I thought they got rid of all the hack weight in the lineup?

 

[kalinecountry]

nice catch by Kelly,

boesch, young, or shinebox out there and that's a triple or inside the park hr.

 

[kalinecountry]

88 pitches for Rick.

Tigers' brass should move ST camp to ****ing Yellowknife, NWT, CA and make em practice in near or sub-zero temps, to harden them against utter fail in the early spring and fall.

Dude, it's game #3, and it's outdoors in frickin' Minnesota where it's cold as shit. They'll be fine.

If they want to win in Oct they hafta get this cold shit figured out.

Lets see if Tui can get something done here. GFY, Don Kelly.

"Cy"pelfrey lifted for RP duensing..but will it really make any difference to the shivering Tigers batters?

It would seem the answer is no.

At least Martinez got another hit.

This situation is why I wish we'd signed Shoppach. He could have PH for Avila.
