    Jax. I can’t watch.

    R R L R scheduled for 9th. Stewart? Jax is pretty scary. Both would be back to back. Score 5 runs and make it not matter

    Because cruising Bailey couldn’t throw more than 82 pitches, according to Baldelli.

    We have 4 runs and 6 hits. Quota and one over. The best bullpen in MLB needs to step up. That is probably it for the offense. Our bench hitters today were .088, .121, .127, and .179. But let them pinch hit!

    Amazing. Larnach is hitting, so doubt him and put in .100 something Mar-got-nuthin against platoon opps and of course switch pitchers anyway and bad platoon now, and no hot bat for the rest of game. Soulless analytic failure once more.

    I never understand throwing meat on purpose.

    Buxton looks like Mort from Bazooka Joe in black instead of red.

    Sting’s 60th birthday bash.

    Timing. Astros are 7-14 so far this season. 1 game under .500 worse than us. But point taken. Their run of success provides for reactions to be more lenient.

    I see the spelling police is selective and gives you a break on Kirilloff. 😇 4 years in…… and there would still be a lot of tickets on this site.

    As long as defense is on the table, I guess it is only fair for one to consider the 2 gifted runs by Detroit because of their defense, eh? 12 Ks and 5 hits rarely is adequate to win baseball games.
  12. h2oface
    And it seems Baldelli thinks the throw was the downfall of the play. Sure, the throw could have been better, but that is our 10 million dollar/yr Mr Defense catcher, that as long as he isn't hitting anymore, needs to make that catch on the hop. Look at all the throws he makes to second that hop and the infielders make the play anyway (like Vazquez's subsequent throw back to Castro that was 6 feet to the wrong side of the bag and Castro still made the play). I would hope our catcher(s) can handle throws like that. “We just have to stand up and make a good throw,” Baldelli said. “It’s an awkward part of the field, not a throw you make very often, but a play we have to complete.”

    Even with the Tigers gifting runs, our boys can't get it up. The losing culture starts with lackadaisical spring trainings. Soulless analytics lead to brainless managerial decisions. Our whole lineup begging for walks instead of practicing situational hitting. And tonight, the play that pissed me off more than any all season, and it didn't even really cost a run because of other inept hitting, was Buxton standing there begging for a home run and not a foul, and he didn't even start running, even with being in a horrible familiar Buxton slump, this time with fine knees. And the embarrasing moment got scored a hit on a ball that should have been easily caught. Pathetic. No need to go see them in Anaheim and suffer this year.

    You listening to the Piano Man, again? (I mean, I shouldn't use his initials, eh?)
  15. h2oface
    Why not? He is pitching great right now. Great results. Why not try something different and go with the hot hand instead of the just off the IL pitcher getting bombed? With no control. Throwing the ball away.......
  16. h2oface
    Analytics be damned. They should have extended him and got it done in 2020. How are all the analytics working for the whole team this year. Loving that 6-12. Homegrown still means something in my book. This ain’t fantasy baseball. Plus, it is not a given that his 2022 would have been the same in Minnesota. I just like Berrios. His dedication to being the best he can be. His process.
  17. h2oface
    Saving Theilbar for the 9th. What did you expect? This is what I expected. Maybe he will need to go on the IL...... best bullpen in MLB. Two of our runs we didn't deserve, anyway. This team is soooooo tanking.
  18. h2oface
    Personally, I would rather live through a bad season by a hard working home grown favorite than cast him out as garbage for a stranger for a year or two like a Mahle etc. I like guys on my favorite team that aren’t just visitors for a year or two or less.
  19. h2oface
    Yes! Jose away! To pretend that the years we could have had don’t count in assessing comparative value just because the FO failed in the mission to extend him is intellectually irresponsible, IMO. It only came down to money, just like Pressly. It is value lost. Plus, the trade was to replace Berrios with high quality starter, and to fleece Toronto with a great hitter that was a shortstop. AND sooner than later. It is already later. Way later.

    When a pitcher purposely throws the first pitch down the middle it’s hardly a mistake. Pablo Day López was betting on blowing it right by for a 0-1 count to start the game. A bit arrogant, but good bet on a first pitch take, too. Not a mistake, though.

    Getting good innings from double pump glitch Caleb has always been lucky. Don’t push our luck. It is running out.
  23. h2oface
    Jax. Regardless of what a catcher may call (and Jeffers doesn’t really give you a target, always moving his glove), it is a pitcher’s final decision.
  24. h2oface
    nevermind
  25. h2oface
    Mistakes my ass. These pitchers think they can throw it down the middle and their stuff will play. Can’t be mistakes. They do it all the time.
