[gotime909]

Bad line by Tuiasosopo leads to a run.

 

[tigermud]

Dirks would have run that one down I think

 

[johnny2x2x]

JV getting touched up.

 

[tigermud]

Really

Nix has been absolute garage really jv

 

[jas5lf]

Verlander looks like shit out there today.

 

[tigermud]

Jv don't like this catcher

 

[bdemil1]

Bats need to pick him up today. It's not like Verlander has never picked up our bats

Ramon robbed by Wells in left on a hard hit line drive. AJ walks. Tori beats out a DP to extend the inning. Miggy 1st pitch swinging hits a slow roller to second. Inning over. 3rd inning over.

 

[manchild98]

Cervelli 1st pitch swinging hits a lazy fly out to Hunter.

Overbay strikes out swinging on 5 pitches.

Nix hits a lazy fly out to Hunter. 3 pitches.


9 pitch inning for a total of 68 after 4 innings.

 

[manchild98]

Prince gets ahead in the count 2-0 and then sees 3 strikes.....goes down swinging chasing a curve ball away.

VMart did not like 2-0 pitch being called a strike and has a conversation w/ the ump...VMart was right it was a ball. Flies out to center on a 3-1 pitch.

Tui draws a walk after falling behind 1-2.

Pena gets an infield hit when the shortstop has to go "deep in the hole" towards 3rd. Tui safe at 2nd and for some reason didn't slide into 2nd on a close play.

Runners going...Omar hits a 3-2 pitch to Wells in left. Inning over.

75 pitches for CC.

 

[manchild98]

Rod and Mario say Leyland said JV could go up to 110-115 pitches in this start...depending on how things were going.

Gardner pops it up to Ramon on the 8th pitch of the at bat.

Cano lines the 1st pitch right over Omar's head.

Puke hits an 0-2 pitch fairly deep to right center but Hunter runs it down and Cano stays at 1st base.

Hafner hits a foul ball a mile down the right field line to fall behind 0-2. JV K's him on the next pitch.

JV at 83 pitches.

 

[manchild98]

Ramon flies out to center...at least he's had some much better swings today.

AJ tries to check swing the 1-1 pitch...1st plate ump says he went around (it was close). AJ draws another walk today...3rd walk for CC today.

Hunter flies out to Ichiro in RF.

Miggy 1st pitch swinging again and hits an easy grounder to Cano. Inning over.

86 pitches for CC.

 

[tigermud]

Miggy thinks he's beosch today, 5 total pitches 3 easy outs

 

[tigermud]

CC hasn't thrown a pitch over 91, Offense is always geared up so much for heater that they can't get good swings on the slower junk.

 

[manchild98]

Quote from Rod....that McGary dude (UofM) is a beast.

Wells strikes out swinging on a 1-2 pitch.

Ichiro slaps one towards center...Ramon ranges over to get it but they can't get Ichiro at first.

Cervelli shows bunt on the 1st pitch but takes instead. Taps an 0-2 pitch towards 1st and JV scoops it up easily and steps on 1st base himself. Ichiro to 2nd.

Overbay 1st pitch swinging and grounds out to Omar.

93 pitches for JV.

 

[mhughes0021]

He probably thinks he just needs to do his part and not worry bout that

i wonder how he feels about it now...

 

[tigermud]

i wonder how he feels about it now...

Probably pissed at himself for that pitch to nix

 

[manchild98]

Largest opening series in Tigers history...127,333. Wings lose to the Blues 1-0.

Prince grounds a 1-1 pitch to 2nd. Easy play for Cano.

VMart lines an 0-1 pitch to Youk who leaps his ugly, fat ass into the air and makes the play.

Tui singles into center on an 0-1 pitch....he has 2 of our 4 hits today.

Pena takes 1-1 pitch and pops it up to Overbay in foul territory.

96 pitches for CC. He and JV have combined for only 7 K's today (4 for JV)...so far.

Looks like we used up all of our hits yesterday.

 

[tigermud]

It just dawned me, cc is a soft tossing lefty,

our achilles heal
