Insomnia is no match for this offense.

Blackburn make three nearly perfect pitches to Schoop, he manages to hit one hard, and still gets nothing. That's how it goes when your slumping.

The most disturbing trend that I’ve seen with Detroit’s inept offensive is this lineup isn’t making any loud outs. All of their contact is soft and weak ground balls to opposing infielders.

They have had a couple tonight... but for the most part you are right

[Tigeraholic1]

That was a loud out. That’s gotta be frustrating as hell….

All eye-test, but Schoop seems to be hitting the ball a lot harder the past 3-4 games, largely without reward

Tigers O doing their bit to shorten game times.

Bunting for 2nd out. Amazing strategy Codder.

Did that really happen?  A sac bunt with 2 out?  What did the broadcast team say about it?

 

 

[gehringer_2]

Not sure why they are so amazed the A's are looking to take the outside pitch away. Pineda has no velo, they have plenty of time to adjust if he comes inside.

All knowing Jack suggested he was bunting for a hit. It’s apparently was the Saber safe bet.

Typical Big Mike outing... should be enough for a competent offense

[gehringer_2]

9 pitch inning for Blackburn.

[1776]

Twenty innings without a run. Impressive. 

[casimir]

Have they tried using a table leg for a bat?

maybe the whole table top.

[mtutiger]

Not sure what more Big Mike could do in this one... can't win if you don't score runs lol

Heck, maybe they need to pound some Budweiser and go Bills’ mafia on some tables?

[Tigerbomb13]

Hill whiffs on the hanging curve 

[gehringer_2]

Grossman gets a 91.5 mph middle/middle mistake and.... still makes an out.

[mtutiger]

Lol, this team makes me want to drink

[gehringer_2]

10 pitch inning for Blackburn.....

Poor Jimmy can't believe another inning is already over. It's a shame if this is all they give Price to work with in what could clearly be his last season.

[BBFCFM]

Thought Tork was going to drop that.

[mtutiger]

Well Baez can still field!

[1776]

Big Mike did a really good job.
