I wonder how conflicted McCosky feels after that Daz Cameron single?

[chasfh]

The “old” guys have been carrying the offense last couple of weeks.

Also, Dillon Dingler is really overmatched.

which Vierling catches. Why don't you play your best D when you know runs will be scarce?

FTM, why don't you always play your best D?

Yes Yes   It drives me nuts.

Don’t look now, but “McStinky” is now a 1.2 WAR player for the year, which is his best season. He has been impossibly hot lately: .373/.431/.525 in the last 30 days, .462/.500/.654 in the last two weeks. 

It’s because he likes his nickname. Just Imagine how good he could be if he put it on his jersey!!!

[Adullin]

We'll take it 

[SoCalTiger]

Keith playing second base turning the double play like a first baseman, but the Tigers get lucky and get out of it anyway

[gehringer_2]

Tork got screwed by the ump on one AB, but regardless he's not getting close to anything so far tonight.

Maybe I'm in the minority? But I'm tired of seeing Torkelson.

I don’t exactly get that “oh boy something can happen” feeling even though it on occasion does happen.

to me it seems when he scuffles, which seems to be most of the time, he doesn't trust his own power and he's trying to crush everything, with the result that he can't stay on the ball at all. It amazes me that so many ballplayers never seem to learn that squaring the ball up is a lot more important than swinging the bat harder.

[Tigermojo]

Uh... runs..... please?

Hopefully, it's a reverse jinx and he hits a home run tonight and 3 or 4 more over the rest of the weekend.

One thing Dombrowski believed in was that guys had to be able to hit the fastball, which is why those teams were so good against bullpens. TBF, the change in pitching in the last 10 yrs maybe makes that approach less valid than it was was then, but the Tigers could use some guys that could hit velo right about now.

[gehringer_2]

I double stamped it. No take backs.

[Tigermojo]

Ugh

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

oooooooh, Keith just missed that.

[gehringer_2]

Colt - missed by a couple of milliseconds.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Colt knocks Kreidler in!

[Tigermojo]

Flair for dramatics.

[IdahoBert]

Colt Keith singles on a ground ball to center fielder JJ Bleday. Ryan Kreidler scores.
