Well, a guy like Montero is gonna get shelled once in a while. Maybe we can score enough runs to cover it.

he's got a good fastball but no confidence yet to through it up and in, which is where he could have gotten Machado since he had him leaning out over the plate. He almost made the pitch he needed with the change-up in but missed.

2nd night in a row that AJ left a young guy in too long.

[gehringer_2]

then again, we see why he didn't want to go to the bullpen....

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

hahahahaha, Peralta falls and can't advance on an outfield single.

[chasfh]

Man, you never see a guy at second fall on his ass and not advance on an outfield single.

[chasfh]

Man, Brieske is both wild and getting clobbered tonight. One inning max.

[RatkoVarda]

I prefer playing the not good teams

[Tigermojo]

Thank you BABIP gods.

[chasfh]

Good lord, that was the worst I have seen a pitcher pitch and still not give up a run in a long time.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

hoo boy. and whew

[chasfh]

That inning should also be exhibit A as to why you shouldn’t sac bunt in a seemingly indiscriminate way.

[SoCalTiger]

We got this

[gehringer_2]

so the white flag is out there now?

[gehringer_2]

He really is pretty consistently terrible.

[SoCalTiger]

Jackson Merril is a beast

I hope they turn down the option but I doubt they will

[gehringer_2]

make that terribly consistent at being consistently terrible.

[Tigermojo]

Fetter getting his steps in tonight.

[gehringer_2]

Well someone on the Tigers is living right because you just saw two of the best outcomes from two of the worst relief pitching performance you may ever.

[VegasTiger]

Dodging bullets.

the buyout is $250K vs a $4.25M commitment. If the FO thinks they are picking up that option Ilitch needs to show someone the door.

[Tigermojo]

Score runs dummies 

[gehringer_2]

don't see a path to a win without using Vest for 2 here, but whatever...

EDIT: my bad, I thought the guys in the booth said Foley was coming in.....

Vierling will be the runner - can't ask for better than that.

[gehringer_2]

terrible AB by Carpenter. Take middle-middle for strike one and then Ks out of the zone.
