May 6 Tigers (Turnbull) @ Red Sox (Eovaldi)

[iortiz]

Tylor coming, really?

[mvp 78]

Probably the reason the SOX have 14 pitchers.

 

But they only use 13 of them.

[mvp 78]

Tylor coming, really?

 

Hell yeah.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

But they only use 13 of them.

 

They're saving the 14th guy for the PO's.

[TylerD]

Lmfao. 5-5

 

This pitching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Taylor's been promoted to the shutdown reliever. Be afraid, be very afraid.

[iortiz]

Tylor instead of running to first, kept looking. We just lost the lead. Unbelievable.

[Thunder]

Please don't ruin such a beautiful day

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In 2018 all these questionable moves by Cora worked.

[Maxbialystock]

Actually, that is normal for him. He almost never beats the runner to 1B. And neither the Sox manager nor the Sox pitching coach seems able to break him of that pernicious habit. Apparently, he gets away with believing he is out there to pitch, not play defense.

[TylerD]

Well this is the pitching I was expecting g. That 9 game win streak toyed with me

I'm sure the SOX will score more runs. Not sure if they will win.

[Maxbialystock]

I've been running errands and only listened to the game sporadically.

 

I know things look dicey right now and against the Tigers yet. But I just noticed Dalbec is at 1B, so all is well. The kid's got potential, and, really, that's what counts.

 

And now, here's Bobby!!! With a man on 3d and 2 outs.

If he was lights out, then maybe that would be acceptable. MAYBE

[Thunder]

DalbeKKKKKKK (plus a few hundred more)

[Thunder]

Put Chavis at 1B. Tired of this s***

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dullbec. Hope I'm wrong, but Bobby may have peaked real early in his career.

[Maxbialystock]

Rough break for Dalbec. The ump cheated him on that one pitch that was way inside. Shoulda called a strike, and it should make no difference that Dalbec swung hard at it. Kid's got an eye him, not swinging at that last pitch. He reeks potential.

[Maxbialystock]

Plenty of at bats to go. Unfortunately, the Tigers get some of them.

At this point, you could have ended that sentence with 'reeks.'

[jung]

Our pitching is killing us...starters, relievers, the whole thing appears to be a mess.

 

We can't put anybody away even scoring enough runs to win games.

[mvp 78]

I leave the office and they put Valdez in?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Everyone knew Grossman was going to run except the pitcher and catcher.

[Maxbialystock]

It's possible that we are watching the rubber game of a season-defining series.

 

moonslav keeps reminding us of all that great talent waiting to be called up to right the ship, but I am skeptical.

 

The Tigers so far have demonstrated they are better at the following: pitching, hitting, defense, and running the bases. And they have the worst record in MLB. Oh, and their run differential going into this game was -65.

[TylerD]

I leave the office and they put Valdez in?

 

Why not. He’s been solid outside of his last start and that was on the 24th. He has been pretty good for us. We don’t have many guys left. Whitlock has bombed his last two, Taylor is awful, Brice is awful. Hernandez and Barnes is about the only two consistent guys we have. We need other options. I’m ok with Valdez coming in.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thought he might get out of the inning scoreless. What the hell was I thinking?

All I know is. At this rate, we need 7 or more to win these games. The pitching is doing what I expected it to do. Suck basically. We knew we were playing above our heads to start the season. This pitching is just awful lately. We are making the leagues worst offensive team look like a juggernaut on the board lmao. It’s pathetic.

[Maxbialystock]

Why does Renfroe keep throwing to 3b when he has no hope of throwing the runner out?

[a700hitter]

He has the best track record.

He has been off track since 2015.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Muscle memory.
