Working the count is obviously not working.

I often get  the impression that the Tigers simple don't give the other team enough credit for being able to respond what they are obviously trying to do.

There used to be a hitter (Edgar Martinez??) who was famous for never, ever, swinging at the first pitch.

Joe Mauer as well, but he could regularly hit 300 regardless

[Sports_Freak]

If they call the game right now, the Tigers lose 2-0.

[Toddwert]

dont know if its the rain but control has been off with the bullpen

Yeah, it WAS him. Good memory. A hitter has to be a good 2 strike hitter to always take that first pitch.

Miller is one guy who can be done here.

[Dtrain72]

Lol at Tigers team OPS

are you sure they have to complete this inning for the yankee runs to count? I wouldn't think so it being the bottom half.

[Sports_Freak]

Walking a leadoff hitter is the kiss of death against normal hitting teams.

Idk, but cant get much worse...that's pretty much the story with quite a few of the players on this team.

I think so but others know the rules better than I do 

[Sports_Freak]

Remember that time a Tiger pitcher was so scared he puked on the mound? Good times....😁

[Toddwert]

this is just getting dumb playng through this rain

[Dtrain72]

Quick, live bet Lange walking in a run here!

wild pitch

[Tigermojo]

Fourth place talent.

[Toddwert]

no more damage that was a painful half inning

[Dtrain72]

Wow, AJ hitting McKinstry over Andy "Miggy" Ibanez, is a bold strategy.

Get swept in Cleveland and season over. Time for a tear down and rebuild. These kids can't play.

I dont know about tearing down but maybe we should trade some pitching for a little hitting
