Tigers vs. whitesox Game Thread May 14

Only 3 hits after Danks left. Yeah offense still sucks but this is another smokes over management loss.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah if smokes puts in Below instead of Putkonen we probably win..

 

[Thumb]

I'm, beginning to think this team could not get a clutch hit in a Girls 12-14 summer rec softball league.

If Danks didn't start this game we might not have scored at all.

 

[spockmaster]

fucking awful ab by avila to end the game.


this team is just so goddamn frustrating.

Almost 1/4 way thru the season and in most years you'd call tonight's loss the worst of the year so far, but we've had about 8 or so just torturous losses already this year. Normally that's a whole seasons worth of bad losses.

Hope we got them out of the way early. Just pathetic tonight.

 

[tigermud]

Is it football season yet?

 

[biggunsbob]

They call up Luke Putkonen after only 13 innings in Toledo... Just another poor decision... by our management..

 

[tigermud]

I'll hang around for the post game I wanna hear what smokes has to say about that 6th inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Miguel and Prince were 6 for 10 with only 2 fucking RBI"s

You know times have changed when you start looking forward to the Lions. =P

They have a tough schedule this year, just hoping they don't take a step back now. Bears are going to be team to beat in the Div IMO. I think they will get over the hump with the packers this year.

what the fuck is with all the sac bunts with f'n batters that can't put a f'n bunt down.
What happened to Smyly to be taken out after 70 pitches?? All the talk he has to see how he responds to adversity then he yanks him.
Seems that Leyland is overusing the bullpen with innings early.
Fuck Raburn, fuck young, absolutely can't swing at pitches that are strikes to save themselves. bunch of f'n hacks. and Fuck you too Leyland, you f'n moron.

 

[tigermud]

whoa now you know it must be getting bad when even KC let's go like that. Jimmy you've got some splain to do.

couldnt agree more now. its reached the point with raburn now where even I wont defend him anymore because he's having shitty ab's (whereas earler he was having better ones and hitting into bad luck more than anything else). if/when he plays, it should ONLY be against left-handers and ONLY in the 8 or 9 hole, no more of this 6-hole shit. i still think he's gonna get hot at some point because his babip just CANT stay that low, but he's pressing right now and having young-esque at bats and we cant afford to wait it out anymore. speaking of young, he just needs to be cut. he fucking blows and is not going to get much better, if he improves at all. he should at the very least not be hitting 5th anymore.

leyland needs to go too at this point. im sick of his senile mismanagement. sac bunts all over the goddamn place, mismanaging the bullpen and the lineup, im sick of it. he just cant manage a ballclub well anymore.

 

[biggunsbob]

So basically Jim your just a dumbshit.

 

[cmlfactor]

I can't speak for him exactly but I don't believe KC has ever been a huge Leyland fan.

 

[tigermud]

Post game Jimmy sez he didn't like all the fly balls, didn't think he looked as sharp, one of those gut things I guess?, ok fine then.. it's a one run lead Jimmy you go with the more experienced guys to protect that. Why does he make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Somebody caption this

Too many fly balls tonight, Get that rookie up with a 12.49 errrr

f'n smokes, who gives a fuck, fly balls.... they were outs. Chomp chomp, talk with food in your mouth Jimmy you're such a class act, Let Smyly pitch a bit more, he had 48 pitches after 4 f'n innings.
Yeah Jimmy that's it, use the f'n bullpen more Jimmy, lead the league in something, try to with bullpen innings, that's good early on, and with the most sac bunt attempts at the most Fuckdiculous moments of a game.
