[lonesometiger]

Bail out good job A Wilson.

 

[tigermud]

Request 1 granted

How bout #2 now

 

[tigermud]

Maybin just broke the thumb again I think sliding into second head first, he's likely done for the year now just fking great, it was obviously bothering him during the at bat too

 

[biggunsbob]

I was picking up food for my sister and the I saw jd was on third witg one out and didn't score on a grounder to first
Could he have scored? I mean they guy was on the ground? But I left and didn't see the replay. Was it hit to hard ?

 

[thehippo73]

How did Maybin get hurt on a Kinsler walk?

 

[kalinecountry]

Maybin slides into second with left hand getting jammed under fielder's knee,
if he wasn't playing with a tear in a sheath/ligament in the thumb before, he is probably got something like that now. Collins takes his place.

 

[kalinecountry]

rotten f'n luck, Miggy with a sinking liner to left anf ff melky dives and catches it.

 

[Sbee]

Thought we'd be closer to a major league lineup, huge blow with Maybin getting hurt again

 

[nydo77]

Why was he leading with his bad thumb?

 

[biggunsbob]

Man oh man we just can't hit with the sacks full this year :/

Jd come on buddy .pitch was not even close.

 

[tigermud]

Damit JD that was ball four, request #2 denied they let him off the hook yet again :-(

Offense is not doing its job

 

[kalinecountry]

JD chases a knuckle curve that would have been ball 4.

 

[tomdalton22]

Shields set him up...I knew it was going to be a curve ball down and away. He was swinging for the fences on the prior 2 pitches.

I agree it was pretty easy to see. Not sure why JD was so intent on swing for the fences there.

Brains do not grow in these Tigers heads. I mean just how many examples do you need? 0-2 pitches right down the middle swing at 1st pitch when behind. base running mistakes all over the bases. ect. ect. McCann facing RH pitchers well not tonight at least. Well just how many examples are enough!

 

[nydo77]

I haven't felt like the Tigers are a very bright team for a long time.
