JV only has himself to blame. 2-2.

 

[jas5lf]

Fuck...fuck..fuck....can't give this team extra outs.

First rule of fielding: You get to any ball you can get to.

So you think that was the smart play?

JV has himself to blame on this crap.

 

[biggunsbob]

Verlander and his 0-2 hits...Damn it..

 

[byco42]

Dirks airmails one to Shanghai.

 

[tazmac]

Time to stop the bleeding.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Terrible way to give up 2 unearned runs. Damn, he had a gem going.

 

[kalinecountry]

JV with 79 pitches,

That sucked,

Granderson would have been out by three steps. Fielder made the grab and a perfect peg right to Verlander's glove. The only dumb part about it was that Verlander didn't catch the ball first and then find the base.

 

[kalinecountry]

this should be a quick inning,

hack/hack/hack/

 

[cmlfactor]

Dirks makes a decent throw on the Cano hit, he's out.

Defense, in the end, is what is going to kill this team if they fall short of the playoffs.

2 hit and run fails by Avila in 2 games...

 

[johnny2x2x]

Shit!!!

 

[buddyboy2121]

Avila misses his second hit and run in a row. Nice.

 

[cmlfactor]

And Dumbass doesn't know how to slide into second.

Infante was shifted over towards 1st for the lefty. That ball was hit almost directly at him. Prince should have known where Omar was. No need to make a tough play out of a routine play. This isn't little league.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Well, we'd have 2 on and no outs if not for the hit and run on pitch 1 to Avila.

 

[byco42]

Avila gets the hit two pitches too late.

This.

There is no excuse for how bad our pitchers field their positions.
