Hongbit Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 We really need Tork, McKinstry and Kelly to take a bunch of pitches before all striking out next inning. Skenes pitch count is getting up and our only chance appears to be getting into their bullpen. I feel bad for Tork having to face this guy. He’s got no chance.

Hongbit Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Nice 2 strike slider to get the K after getting super lucky getting away with a middle middle 79 mph curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Montero's ERA is going to look uglier than it should. It's like going 1 for 12 hitting. Do that in July and it's a slump. Do it in April and you're the worst player in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite petty and immature. This didn't age well. Edited May 29 by tiger2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could change in the future but I’m not sure how since I don’t watch minor league ball. I don’t see Montero getting another chance. FWIW, one could also argue that many paid Tigers scouts aren’t really good scouts either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid job guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pitched well for most of the game. He was probably nervous being his debut and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 On both the TV and the radio broadcasts I notice that the ads cut off the announcers an awful lot of the time and it’s really annoying and I’m not sure who to blame. The announcers seem to be doing what they’ve always done so I guess I have to blame who’s ever controlling when the ad kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Pirates order looks even worse than the Tigers. Still couldn’t take advantage and made a few very bad mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Andy Dirks called it. Matt Vierling homers (7) on a fly ball to left center field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Didn’t he hit a home run in each game of another doubleheader? This makes him sort of like Sunday Charlie Maxwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What team are you a scout for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger2022 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 If you are 23, can hit 96, 97 mph and have decent offspeed stuff, you are going to pitch in the majors somewhere. From my one game watching him, he seems to have at least similar stuff of not better than Casey Mize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the radio side, what generally happens with the shorter break that started last year is the DTRN did not alter their commercial break length, so they generally come back just as or just after the first pitch of the half inning takes place, over which you hear the intro rock music, Dan comes on and does introductory copy for a couple seconds, then calls the pitch that was thrown now 10 or 15 or 20 seconds ago as though it were happening at that moment, then he catches up to the live call on the second pitch. You might notice that sometimes his call for the first pitch and the second pitch comes only five or so seconds apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2022 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Just now, Sports_Freak said: Haters gonna hate. Is this one of the trolls we've been warned about? Not at all. I am just not A Know It All. 1 minute ago, Sports_Freak said: Haters gonna hate. Is this one of the trolls we've been warned about? Hater? I don't recall saying since a 23 year old making his mlb debut didn't dominate the opponents that he will never get another chance ever in the majors.
