Tigers vs. twins Game Thread May 16

Balester needs to be shipped out...

Ok, just looking at the gamecast...why was Jackson pulled? Is he hurt?

 

[biggunsbob]

Still no back to back games... a billion years ago.

Yes pulled muscle I think..

 

[biggunsbob]

it really is inexcusable to have all those errors and then come back and take a lead only to blow it..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well the twins got healthy on us... Time to rethink Porcello... He just does not seem to be turning the corner.. Frustrating because i thought he would..

They committed 4 errors behind him. Couldn't have been easy.

Defense and poor pitching lost this one but on the bright side I don't think smokes did anything really stupid tonight did he? Besides maybe not getting JP back in the game after the starter and Jackson went out? Or not starting him in the first place? I'm undecided right now. First game smokes hasn't done something stupid this year? Yea/Nay?

A team that was averaging just over 3 runs a game dropped 11 on us tonight...wonderful.

 

[biggunsbob]

No sense of urgency with this club... None..

Still he got the lead back and give it right back up.... Gotta bear down... I understand out fielding was what we thought it would be every other day but he has to be better once the lead was reacquired. It' is the freaking 10-26 Twins... Not suppose to happen,...

oh hum, la de da, grumble grumble mumble crumble flumba sumba

 

[tigermud]

So worth gets optioned back after the game tonight instead of Balester? wuhhh

 

[biggunsbob]

So instead of sending out the shitty pitcher they send Worth out and call up a stiff who has sucked up here before. Balaster stinks. If you need pitchers I can see sending out Worth but send out both of them and bring guys up two guys...... I guess Raburns big hits yesterday warrants a 4 year extension..

Well really, we had no use for Worth.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers have found more ways to lose this year in 19 games... it is very frustrating...Ok get the damn split tomorrow ho hum...

 

[biggunsbob]

Well really, we had no use for Worth.

And yet we really need these stellar pitchers

L. Putkonen 1.2 4 1 1 1 3 0 2.67 10.50
C. Balester 1.0 2 2 2 1 0 1 1.39 6.50

Updated era after tonight game plus their effort... I will let you figure out the numbers Skippy. Did you miss the sentence i said send both out and bring up 2 different pitchers ....

 

[tigermud]

Well really, we had no use for Worth.

Maybe he can work on his bunting, we got no use for Balester either.

They have.

The last two games, even though yesterday was a win, are bad signs.

Your starting pitching has to be able to give you innings, and Porcello's last two starts he went less than 6 inning and threw 100 pitches. Scherzer has only gone 7 innings in 3 of his 8 starts.

Those 4 errors hurt us, but Porcello was not fooling anyone from a bad team.

Or Putkonen.

But Worth was not going to play, we don't need him as a sub, so might as well send him down and let him get AB's in Toledo, rather than rotting on the bench.

I agree, I'd rather see him play everyday in the minors than rot on the bench.
