Good to know that 1 month makes a season...Boesch had a better July. That's it.

The word "Season" is irrelevant.

We're talking about right now.

but I'm not arguing this anymore, if you want to live in a fantasy land where Berry and Young are good players, I won't stand in your way.

36 pitches for dumdum, 15 for strikes,

 

[cmlfactor]

3 walks from Dumdum already can't take advantage...

I'm not saying Berry is a "good" player, But, in this case, being that neither of them are lighting up the world with the bat...give me the guy that has other things to offer. Speed and better d.

Speed doesnt matter if you're not getting on base, and Berry's D is not much better than Boesch's. Boesch if he gets his head out of his ass provides more for the lineup than Berry.

I am convinced is we just keep our bats on our shoulders that this guy will walk the bases loaded and a few runs in the next couple innings, but we know that's not possible with this team.

 

[kalinecountry]

no damage with the 2 singles,

Sanchez with 31 pitches.

 

[tigermud]

This bats go cold on the road stuff is starting to get really old.

 

[johnny2x2x]

I guess the Tiger hitters didn't get the memo that this guy was having trouble with the zone, the 3 walks in 2 innings wasn't a clear enough sign I guess.

I remember Willis had a start against the White Sox in 08 i think. Had a no hitter going through 5 innings with like 7 walks.

I remember this....lol.

Willis was effectively wild in that start. Maddening.

 

[cmlfactor]

For fuck's sake...

 

[Thumb]

Tigers hitters just can't do anything against poor pitchers.

 

[tigermud]

They may wish to consider just keeping the bat on the shoulder until there are two strikes, he'd probably walk us in some runs.

 

[jas5lf]

Well, if there's one positive attribute Sanchez brings to the table is that he's one heck of an extra fielder.

 

[kalinecountry]

twins pitcher can't find the plate but Tigers swinging away for a 8 pitch 3rd inning, brilliant.

 

[kalinecountry]

that was strike three ump

The 10 games(july 24- Aug 4) before Dirks came back and he went to a reserve role Berry hit .316 with a .395 obp and .790 ops.

[johnny2x2x]

Got robbed on the call, should be out of the inning 6 pitches ago, BS!
