Ober will be lucky to get through 5

He'll be lucky to get to the 5th at this rate.  Not good at all today.

[Craig Arko]

Maybe Ober needs to follow Ryan to take some time.

[Schmoeman5]

Wallner does have a good arm. Saying that, he needs to learn when to use it.

[Aggies7]

Man correa looks sooo bad sometimes (being kind)

[tony&rodney]

I'm a little concerned with Julien. The swings are a little wild right now, missing often. It is tough to be a rookie.

[Mortimerkenny21]

It's not as fun to watch the running idiot on the field on the radio. But the radio play by play was a little entertaining.

[mrtwinsfan]

show us   we need a laugh also

[mrtwinsfan]

Some one will post it ,

Am I being deceived or did Gallo get a homerun?!?!

Yup. He won't sit for two weeks now.

[Parfigliano]

How drunk have to be to run on field for a ticket to jail and lifetime ban from facility?

[Schmoeman5]

That person was running out there for a couple minutes. So to get that time they lost. The pitching clock has been reduced to 10 seconds

Well, he had reached base in 7 of 9 PA when Rocco decided to bench him against the back- to-back lefties. Not a believer in momentum, apparently.

[Parfigliano]

Yea.  Ober puts up a zero.

Yah, I wondered about that too especially because he has battled lefties fair enough.

'Believing in he has a hard time hitting lefties, did not want that momentum.

[tony&rodney]

Ober looks like he could use an extra day before his next start. Doing fine but not real sharp.

…or, to go to a night game in Detroit?

To be fair, the results at the major-league level against lefties so far has not been good, despite a couple of important hits. In the minors, the OBP has been fine against lefties, though.

Why? Is it scary in downtown Detroit at night?

What's your definition of "fair enough"?

In 29 PA he has a triple slash of .207/207/207, good for an OPS of .414.  6 for 29, no extra base hits, no walks and 9 strikeouts.  

[SwainZag]

Geez, the soft contact hits continue to pile up.  That was just super unlucky. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Good inning for Ober, hopefully one more good inning in him.

The stats show that Julien has been struggling versus same sided arms, true. I also know that if a batter never gets any opportunities  to improve they won't. He has had some good at bats but clearly does not hit LH pitchers well.

I have walked to Tiger Stadium (old and new) from hotel's we were staying in numerous times.  It was great.  Especially Nemo's Bar.

Game day runs an ad between innings that includes footage of Byron Buxton sprinting through what appears to be an outfield with a baseball glove on his left hand.
