This is a completely winnable game and the fact that it’s not is really frustrating. There’s a lot of BABIP going on for the Tigers as well as against them. But still, this is really frustrating.
Kevin looks like he’s lived his entire life at each position he plays. There’s just no hesitation. No uncertain footwork, no double clutching because he’s uncertain of his grasp in the ball. The guy is just a joy to watch, and he’s pretty good at the plate too.
Scoob needs to “pitch to the score” like Jack did and he ended up in the Hall of Fame. He also however, had some pretty good relievers to back him up when he couldn’t go a full nine.
Our old friend and now Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates Don Kelly was tossed yesterday when Reds slugger Eugenio Suarez checked his swing and knew he struck out and was walking back to the dugout while the first base umpire contended he hadn’t. Donnie started chirping from the dugout things like “pay attention to the game!“ And when he stepped out onto the field, he was tossed.
