is it just me, or has ajax been slumping lately?

Some runs here would be nice.

Picking up Peralta, too, would have been nice but...

Cool.

I was thinking the same thing about Cabrera before last night.

We're just so used to them getting multi-hit games I guess.

He's been swinging at more bad pitches lately, which he wasn't doing earlier in the season. That last AB he swung at a 1-0 pitch that was in on his hands. No reason to do that.

He's batting .231 his last 10 games, but is .311 for August.

Nice quick 4th for max.

 

[kalinecountry]

another good and quicker inning for Max, 76 pitches and 7 k's,

Tigers lead 3 - 0.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Max really needed a quick inning, also like that their pitcher comes right back out after a tough inning to face the meat of our order. Time to T off!

 

[servinthed]

Dirks has been magnificent this year.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Nice if we can get some of these other goofballs hitting better, and the pitchers pitching better, and some better fielding and baserunning...

 

[coulomb]

I hope dirks is under contract next year. He is hitting unbelievable.

 

[jdbaker1]

It is really nice to have someone really hitting in the 2 spot in front of Miggy and Prince.

 

[jdbaker1]

We better get that runner in. Heart of the order coming up, runner on 2nd no outs.

 

[tinselwolverine]

There we go...

 

[jdbaker1]

Monster!!!

Miguel Cabrera is the 4th player since 1901 with 8 30-HRs and 100-RBIs before turning 30. The others are Pujols, A-Rod and Jimmie Foxx.

 

[johnny2x2x]

OK, gameday stalled on me, what did Cabrera do?
