Well, we only needed a split to get HCA back. Game 4 is a must win.

Pistons waking up just in time?

Review on Keith Abney CB

If there would have been a plate of food there, the doggie woulda had that too. 😅😅

He's playing hard but not playing smart.

Maybe so. But are teams now refusing to swing at pitches the Tiger bullpen throws? Vest was all over the place last night, even the smaller strike zone didn't matter. He was terribly wild. And that's not acceptable in one of our necessary bullpen arms. I know Lee said his inning splits are about the same but it really seems like the earlier he's used, the worse he is. Maybe it's just magnified, IDK. But his implosions are catastrophic.

The strategy of these bullpen arms nibbling around the corners until they fall way behind in the count and then have to pour fastball over the middle of the plate? Yeah, it isnt working. Fix them, Fetter. Or do we suddenly have an entire pitching staff (except for Skubal) who can't throw strikes? I dont believe that.

Any stat that shows Burch Smith as your best BP arm is flawed. Or just cherry picked.

The control issue was quite a surprise. All the Tiger pitchers seemed to keep falling behind hitters. Falling behind hitters is a recipe for disaster.

Turn the page. Bounce back. And, maybe, try throwing strikes?

So what are the Lions remaining picks? Go for secondary and linebackers help?

The Tigers pitchers inability to throw strikes was the biggest issue. Hitting 4 home runs while scoring 8 runs and losing? That's on the pitching.

Good night ..

Disaster...inexcusable.

Vest now has an ERA of 6.75. He needs to figure out how to pitch in any inning he's called on. Consistency. Falling behind hitters....ugh.

Typical 7th inning Will Vest.

Beanball wartime?

A few 7th inning runs would be great...

So it's a final score, right? Not suspended, a final?

Back in the good old days, they would show the 1968 world series highlights. Now we have Twitter rain delay questions? No thank you.

This is all I can find about games called official after 5 innings; "For regulation games, once the visiting team makes 15 outs (five innings) and the home team leads, or once the home team makes 15 outs, the game is considered official. Tied games are completed later, while games cut short after becoming official with no ties have standing results." https://www.thebaseballguide.com/rain-delay/

You mean the Reds have the option of picking up a suspended game? Why wouldn't they want to resume it? They were behind so it's their only chance to win.

Falling behind in the count seldom work out.

Dingler!!!

Hinch goes right to one of our better BP arms. Kinda surprising.
