Tigers vs. yankees Game Thread August 9

[kalinecountry]

Fister with 9 pitches.

 

[coulomb]

wtf miggy, no way you were getting to 3rd on that.

 

[tinselwolverine]

The second baseman IS allowed to do that, Miggy...

Baseball genius, they call him, sheesh...

 

[servinthed]

Well that was dumb.

 

[servinthed]

Infante makes that play at second.

 

[cmlfactor]

I'll be so glad to be getting Mr. Chavez the hell out of town...what a menace...

 

[servinthed]

and Jackson likely makes that catch.

 

[cmlfactor]

Two-out fucking runs again...godammit...

 

[coulomb]

radar is showing more rain soon, hopefully its not that crappy boston rain where it only affects the tigers.

 

[cmlfactor]

Pitchers haven't been able to finish off a damn inning yesterday and today...

 

[spockmaster]

why the fuck cant we get out the bottom of their order?

 

[spockmaster]

and Jackson likely makes that catch.

he DEFINITELY makes that catch, berry got an awful jump (like usual) and just flailed at the ball. thats a routine out if ajax is out there. thanks, smokey.


our shitty defense once again costs us runs. -29 defensive runs saved as a team this year. to be perfectly honest, i feel that we could be in first place by at least several games right now if our defense wasnt so fucking awful.

 

[cmlfactor]

That's all Fister gives up today.

 

[byco42]

The pants-shitting has already begun? It's goona stink around here by the sixth inning.

 

[cmlfactor]

Second time through the order is when the offense has awoken the last few days...

Sit tight, folks...

Smokey drops Delmon from the lineup but the advantage is offset by him starting Berry over Ajax in CF....wonderful.

 

[cmlfactor]

Was that a straight steal or yet ANOTHER botched hit-and-run?

i guess he feels that he has to counter every good decision he makes with another stupid one.




this game isnt shaping up well. 4 strikeouts the first time through the order against a guy with a k/9 rate under 7, moronic baserunning, and shitty defense. this is looking like a loss so far.

Definitely a botched hit and run. Santiago is useless, and you have to protect from the double play because all Santiago does is hit ground balls.

 

[byco42]

When will the Tigers learn to execute a hit-and-run? Ot abandon it altogether? Santiago is not exactly a wizard with the bat.
