His FB velo has picked up from where it was at the beginning of the game which is good to see - he'd really be in trouble at 91-93, but yeah, Casey is suffering lack of reps. You have to pitch to develop command and there is no way to undo all the time lost.

[IdahoBert]

We are being no hit?

[IdahoBert]

It’s time to put an end of this nonsense and score six runs. 

[gehringer_2]

The weird approach by official scorer's that you have to have touched and then booted a ball to have mis-played it is about as dumb a thing as anything in the current game. The play that Sweeney missed was absolutely ordinary effort to catch. Missing it completely instead of getting a glove on it and dropping it can't be double.

two hits wasted.

[RandyMarsh]

Dumb base running by McKinstry, no reason to force the extra base there in that situation. 

[gehringer_2]

replay crew fails again. Tigers used to have one of the best replay teams, what happened?

[gehringer_2]

just when it looked like Casey was having a good inning........

I guess first time back it's not that terrible, but when the O isn't doing anything it seems worse.

Almost had a quality start.

Agree on that but I believe he got in ahead of the tag. Error charged to Hinch on that replay fail.

[Tigermojo]

Need six runs a la Bert.

Did. One run was *not* earned regardless of how mis-informed the scorer is.

[AZTigersfan]

Mize just doesn’t give us much chance to win against any decent lineup. 

[IdahoBert]

We need a long ball

[gehringer_2]

Torkelson took the best pitch to hit for strike one. Backsliding on staying aggressive in the zone.

dan just noted Boston has been averaging  6 runs against. You should have a chance even if you spot them 4 Tigs are at 16+ innings without a run.

That 11 pitch inning was nice. 

[IdahoBert]

What happened to the philosophy of not taking a first strike pitch right down the middle of a plate?

Vierling has done that more so recently as well.

[gehringer_2]

I think maybe they get into bad habits when they have a couple of series against teams like the WSox that can't pitch.

Boston can't pitch.
