7/7 8:10 Tigers @ White Sox

[RandyMarsh]

Hinch may be playing with fire having Beau face the heart of the White Sox order for the 3rd time.

[mtutiger]

Well done by Brieske tonight...

[RandyMarsh]

I don't think we have ever held Abreu hitless in a game so you knew he was going to do something. Hopefully that single will be it for the day. 

[chasfh]

So much for the efficacy of tanking for years on end to draft starting pitchers 1/1.

Very impressive.

You don't often see a 2-unassisted caught-stealing.

[RandyMarsh]

Damn Barnhart looked like he was shot out of cannon there. Can't remember the last time I seen a play like that. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

ah, the ol' 2-unassisted on a runner trying to advance on a wild pitch.

[chasfh]

I seriously have never seen what Barnhart did just now, picking off a pitch in the dirt and then running out to tag the runner between first and second. What kind of brain fog was Abreu in there?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

ha, Alex Avila is talking about how he did the same thing last season. "it took me a little longer" to get out to the runner.

[RandyMarsh]

Good call blue! 

[casimir]

Dickerson is good at his craft, but I don’t believe what he was trying to describe there.

Avila now bringing up the fact that during a rundown, if a player is coming at the runner from a direction that isn’t either base, that player should run straight to the runner and make the runner decide on a base to run to.

[chasfh]

For a guy who rarely draws a walk, how about Reyes taking “ball four” within the top of the zone?

You are clearly a few minutes ahead of me on the radio broadcast.  But damn it, it’s good analysis and a story out of Avila.

[casimir]

Avila talking about an unassisted double play he had with the Tigers (in 2013).  He tagged at a runner between 3rd and home around 3rd, and then tagged the next runner trying to advance to 3rd.

”Obviously any runner that was caught in a rundown between me and Miguel…. advantage runner.”

[RandyMarsh]

Haase continues his hot stretch with a pinch hit leadoff single.

It technically wasn't unassisted, since it was a ground ball to 1st with runners on 1st and 3rd, with a throw home.

We're really just gonna go down with the ship with Candy, hey?

[chasfh]

TORK!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Torque!

[mtutiger]

Massive add-on run from TORK!

[RandyMarsh]

Tork with a pinch hit single to drive in Haase! Great to see him drill one like that. 

[chasfh]

Man, what a career Leury Garcia, a man of very slight talents, has been able to fashion with the White Sox. There since 2013. And they got him for two more years after this!

[chasfh]

Anyone care to do a rollercoaster graphic for Soto?

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah with Robert up and especially with Abreu in the on deck circle I'm not getting a good feeling about this one.
