Tigers vs. Twins July 26, 2021 Game 102

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 10th.

Runner starts on second
Hill not bunting. Fails to get runner over.
Lines out to third. Wasted at bat.
Baddoo

I just don?t get it. Hill works at bunting and is super fast but they don?t bunt him over
And Baddoo flys out to deep left.

Piss poor Managing in my opinion.
Schoop has to come through now.
He looks at back to back strikes. One marginal one probably a strike.

Hill is fast. He can run. I just don?t get not bunting.

 

[biggunsbob]

Soto approaching 30 pitches plus.

Twins 10th

Runner on second
Sano k?s. We know he can?t bunt but again a sacrifice plates a run.
Cave F-7.
Simmons 2-2 wtf ump you ass wipe.
Twins pitcher got that pitch. Such bullshit.
Half Inning should be over.
Kepler walk off single Lousy pitch on a 0-1 pitch to a lefty. But Soto was on 40 pitches.

Fuck you umpire. That 2-2 pitch was a strike.

Hinch take a freaking Fine. Say something about the balls and strikes.
Such bullshit in the 10th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger pitchers were not getting the same strike as the twin pitchers tonight from when I started watching.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers suck on the road. Suck against the division

12-17 against the royals and twins. Wtf AJ.

 

[biggunsbob]

That ball was a strike. That home plate umpire was a piece of shit. He was terrible.

 

[biggunsbob]

Someone got hurt not sure who.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers MO
Lose divisional games against shitty teams.
Same old same old for the Tigers.

Oh wait we lose games to all divisional teams.

Miguel Cabrera hits career home run No. 495, a two-run shot in the 6th inning.

The homer is also the 1,100th extra-base hit of his Major League career, the 21st player in MLB history to reach that milestone.

RAPID FIRE.
Totally Tigers

This Friday marks the trade deadline for MLB and brings us today?s question:

Should the Tigers be trading anyone? If so, who and why?

Our 2 bloggers each have 10 sentences max to explain their rationales and pick their candidates.

The man-on-second rule must go. Or, assign one out to the offense. And make the count on the batters 1-1 before they step in the box. And disallow off speed pitches. And make the fielders play without gloves. And forbid any shifts. And prohibit stealing. And make right field an automatic out. And make the pitcher?s mound an optional out, too. And have only six defenders in the field, not including the pitcher and catcher. And, if no team scores in the one-allotted extra inning, stage a coin flip to determine the winner.

 

[biggunsbob]

As much as I like Schoop I agree with him signing with Boros getting a deal done might be hard to do. Trade all the others. Boyd, Norris , Fulmer ,and maybe they get a decent haul for Schoop and who knows maybe he signs back with Detroit.

I am almost certain I read the man on second and the 7 inning double headers will go when the two sides meet.
Let's hope that clown shoes manfred doesn't see the rest of the funny ideas or he just might put them in place and make the game we love a 3 ring circus.

Using big-league hitters as a focus group, Tigers' Matt Manning debuts another new pitch.

A couple of notes from Matt Manning:
-- He started working on a two-seam fastball between starts and was using it tonight.
-- He also closed his fingers on his curveball grip, trying to get more spin. The curve generated four whiffs and was up 81 rpm on average.

The reunion tour of Willie Castro Vic Reyes Buck Farmer..just not players you can sustain winning baseball games with..if they haven't figured that out over the past 3 years.

Willi Castro has made so many subtle horrible plays defensively tonight..it just never gets better..and I'm not even counting the base running..nothing makes a manger like Hinch more angry than stuff like this.

Never a fan of Castro, Castro, and Reyes making 3 outs in 3 pitches..expect none of them to be on the roster in 2022.

First, it's Detroit Tigers broadcasters Matt Shepard and Kirk Gibson mixing up players' names. Last night, it was Bally Sports Detroit.
When Robbie Grossman hit that 2-run home in the 10th, in big letters, the graphics scrolled "HAROLD CASTRO - 2 RUN HOMER."
