not that it took any great insight to get to that conclusion. Any FPV flyer who has handled and stressed Li-Ion batteries could tell you that they don't explode, they conflagrate, which is dangerous enough but looks different from what happened. They are also unpredictable enough that you couldn't get a large number to do the same thing at the same time. For instance if you tried to short them all to initiate fire, you'd have no way to know the charge state and the ones that were nearly discharged could end up duds - that wouldn't be a very reliable attack.

Command just isn't there. His sinker was often up, his 4 seamer was often down, which seems backward. A lot of his sequencing seemed less than optimal. He threw the split a lot at before he got to two strikes and guys just spit on it. The one hit by Salvy they just kept going away-away-away and a smart old fox like Perez just stepped across the plate and hit one - you could see it coming. And the one pitch that Casey seems to always get hurt on is a 4 seam fastball - at or even a little below the bottom of zone but in the middle of the plate, which is what Massey hit for the RBI - 105EV.

I think it's a long shot they use him but the other guy available again at Toledo who is already on the 40 is Manning, who threw 63 pitches in a start tonight.

Hadn't noticed that Matt Manning made his 2nd start for the Hens since coming back from the IL. Gave up 2R in 3 IP in his 1st start, 1R in 3 IP tonight. But 63 pitchers to get through 3! Been around forever but still only 26.

well, I suppose anything is possible, but strike one would be thatJobe is not on the 40.

You could have stopped there and it still works.

BTW - did anyone notice in the forum stats that we had 350 lurkers for last Thursday's day game?

I don't think the Tigers have been 6 over 500 since the end of the 2016 season.

I'd still walk Witt.

I wonder if Erceg losing the glove caused just enough distraction for Witt.

Can't hit it much better...

Brieske showing maybe the best pure arm on the staff after Skubal.

He and Casey have the same problem - when it goes south, it's equatorial.

well, Parker hit what would have been a DP ball anyway....

TOOTBLAN

Miller pitching like he doesn't trust his stuff. Hope that's it for him

ML SS needs to make that play

Miller has lost the plate.

LOL - Baseball.

Tigers need a miracle here. Any good outing by Miller probably qualifies as such.

Miller is warming up. Hinch going to live dangerously tonight.

Digging a hole...

Mize can't buy a 1-2-3

KC getting back into defensive conversation as well.

they said Schoop - at least when he was younger, turned a DP about as fast as anyone. I don't know where Keith ranks now but he's faster than anyone we have had there since Schoop.
