No. Double play depth.

Thanks, if they were playing back I was hoping for a bunt.  One run may win this game.

[Robert Floren]

Reese Olson-Drysdale on the mound.  No wonder we're shut out lol.

[RpR]

Detroits's pitcher,, without the long hair,, looks young enough he would have fit right in to the movie Sandlot!

[SwainZag]

Kepler's drive is a HR in 21/30 parks.   His earlier fly leaves 6/30.  

[USAFChief]

I don't know why, but I can only name 25 letters of the alphabet.

[USAFChief]

Why throw a pitch that can be pulled in a 0-0 game?

BTW that's a HR in the only ballpark that matters.

[wsnydes]

sigh...

[SwainZag]

That thing was pounded.  Can't leave a slider there.   Hopefully the bats find something against the pen. 

[Aggies7]

Riley Greene masterclass

[CRF]

That ball was absolutely crushed. We need to wake up and put some runs on the board. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Kenta , great job today, wish your team would get off there Ass and help ya out,  , those at bats by Julien and Jeffers, ---- were classic failures,   

[USAFChief]

Incredibly tough play by the 3rd baseman.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Come on Gallo, this is your thing. Solo shot. Do it.

[Aggies7]

2 lousy hits and 9 whiffs. 

[USAFChief]

Wallner gets PH for against a leftie, but not Gallo.

I guess nobody else possesses a first baseman's glove.

[wsnydes]

🙄

[Mortimerkenny21]

And nope. 

[SwainZag]

Gotta give props to the Detroit defense, they have been superb all series.

[KirbyDome89]

Wallner *needs* to be lifted the moment a lefty takes the mound but Joey Gallo stays in the game to flail away....

[Aggies7]

Maeda deserved a better fate

Beat me. 

[Parfigliano]

With 2 strikes they really just guess on next pitch and watch strike 3 go by.  Dont offer at it just keep bat on shoulder and K.

Royce Lewis and his Youth and exuberance , are needed, no one seems to show any emotion during the Games,  How much of this Zombie attitude ya think is on Rocco ?? 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Lackluster
