Was it Gardy that said, "your role is to get guys out when I give you ball"?

Yeah - and once Gates Brown had a hot dog.

g...o...t......t...o......d...o...u...b...l...e......d...o...w...n.

AA: Dingler with a double for 4, Daniel Cabrera with a 5 game hitting streak (but 3 Ks tonight) A: Colt Keith's 15 game hit streak ends.

again, how do explain Hinch's thought process when you have 14 pitchers on the staff and you keep using a guy north of 7 BB/9IP to close? I'm really getting tired of the hope over reality approach to things this team seems locked into. And I suppose because Wiili had a hit tonight the terrible route he took on his one chance in the field will be conveniently ignored as well. And just a side note, it will never show up in his stat analysis because Baez managed to come out and make the play for him.

I think Fulmer is mostly rusty but I don't know how you work relievers back into form when your team never gets a comfortable lead. Soto is over throwing everything - just dumb because he has great stuff. Maybe need to turn off the radar gun when he pitches.

At least he can find the plate.

Fulmer and Soto need to work some 7 and 8ths.

Tigers have issued 7 walks. absolutely.

this is beyond nuts.

Soto looks like he keeps trying to make perfect pitches when he doesn't really need to.

Well, he didn't walk him.....

6 base runners stranded in two innings. They better not go back to that well in the 9th.

He could have just thrown that FB 10 pitches earlier to Owings and been done with it.

great stop by Barnhart there.

Walk the #9 hitter because you are afraid to throw a FB?

Jeesh - if can't throw the pitch for a strike don't keep trying 3 times!

Lange gets his 1st one.

Lange bringing the game to a crawl not helping his fielders.

Candy has to charge that one. But if he does he can only go to 1st. But that was all he really had anyway.

the odds of DP with Schoop that deep were pretty nil to begin with. Amazing it was that close.

I don't think that one gets overturned.

fair point. He was only at 8 pitches even with the missed out at 1st.

lets get off our duff Mr Hinch.
