Bullpen guy who has been really good most of the year getting tattooed...ehh it happens.

 

[buddha]

it will take a few more years to get Al Avila's stink off of this organization.

I remember Leyland saying the more pitchers you throw out there, the bigger chance you have of one giving it up. This AAA guy is getting smoked, when he throws strikes. Getting behind every hitter isn't the road to success.

Batting practice

A few more like this and we won’t have to worry about Joey being exposed to waivers anymore.

He didn't put this guy into the game. Hinch pulling all the wrong strings. Olson gets the loss by giving up 1 earned run.

@ Sports Freak. Here’s a guy (Wentz) you should go nuclear on. My guess crickets

Wentz turning back into a pumpkin.  

I just came to post that.  

[kdog]

By any objective measure, Wentz has been excellent this year. He has been terrible tonight.

Thanks for the reminder. Tigers are unwatchable when they play like this. Game 7 of a hockey playoff game may be exciting.

And you're wrong, again. 😆

[Sports_Freak]

I would have thought Briske was stretched out to throw more than 22 pitches. Did Hinch look for the worst pitcher in his bullpen? Why? Over-managing.

It's already gone for the most part .  Several of his acquisitions are contributing this season and Harris has a new system in place which hopefully will take them to a new level.   I don't think they are that far away from contending.  

[gehringer_2]

They told Wentz to stay out there and burn some innings and Wentz said, "screw that, I'm giving it up until you take me out"

[gehringer_2]

Riley really off his feed - that's a catch he should make 9 of 10 and the last AB he seemed totally out of it.

That was an epic meltdown by Wentz.

It was. Nervous pitching in his hometown? Using hindsight, Hinch screwed the pooch.

[gehringer_2]

Well, if you are going to lose, you might as well lose big.

Vancouver - Edmonton should be a good game.

Game 7's can be very exciting.

[gehringer_2]

so maybe you want a more reliable hitter behind Keith.

Haha  - like the Tigers have one...

Colt Keith might be making a turn towards competence...maybe.

[SoCalTiger]

Hope Olsen recovers quickly

It didn't take much for him to pass up Javy.
