4/8 @ Tigers

[vegasbob]

Note to Bloom-- beware Hill will be cheap to acquire from Tigers , but don't be tempted.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still waiting for Duvall to get hot.[

[guinness22]

8 runs on only 3 hits. Don’t see that line often. Walks just killers for the Tigers today.

DFA Arroyo

[guinness22]

Arroyo and Kike struggling at the plate big time. I thought Arroyo was supposed to be so much better playing everyday. Not so far. It’s still early tho.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DFA Arroyo

 

He'll have to wait in line with Bra Man, Ort, and Kutter.

Speaking of waiting. Waiting for Paxton, Mendoza and Story. Also waiting for Guffman.

[moonslav59]

Sign Duvall to an extension!

 

The one guy Bloom did not give a 2nd year or club option.

 

I've finally come around to the majority thinking: Bloom sucks!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Arroyo and Houck.

[mvp 78]

Reall good play by Houck there.

[guinness22]

Sooooo much movement. Man. And nice D. 3 innings. Only 42 pitches.

DFA Bloom. Have him run the Brockton Rox.

Who is Mendoza?

 

Mondesi?

 

Joely?

 

Bellisimo?

Good game to test if the 3rd time through the lineup thing is for real with Houck.

Lol. You KNOW I’m counting the pitches! Haha. I’m hopeful!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers; 3 at bats, 3 swings, 4 RBI.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who is Mendoza?

 

Mondesi?

 

Joely?

 

Bellisimo?

 

My bad. I meant Mondesi. I'm surprised you didn't ask "who's Guffman?"

[guinness22]

I just don’t think it’s coincidence Moon, and your numbers back it up. 60+ pitches and/or third time thru….we’ve seen this movie before.

[moonslav59]

Lol. You KNOW I’m counting the pitches! Haha. I’m hopeful!

 

He may not make it twice through.

[moonslav59]

What? There is no Guffman?

[vegasbob]

Good game to test if the 3rd time through the lineup thing is for real with Houck.

 

Yes, beginning to see the same trend of declining results after 2 times through. It points to why he may have to be a lifetime reliever, but possibly a very good one

[guinness22]

He may not make it twice through.

 

Yup. And he’s north of 60 now.

[moonslav59]

I'm really looking forward to Houck being our 2-4 inning pen guy.

[vegasbob]

At 8-2 with 2 outs, man on 3rd, this would be a big out to nail down without allowing another score.

 

And he does it !

Mass A Walka today

[vegasbob]

[guinness22]

[guinness22]

Ya! 6 pitch inning! 8-9-1 go 1-2-3 and 89 in line for the dubbya

[moonslav59]

Mass A Walka today

 

As advertised.

 

Now, work on that BA!

[vegasbob]

Wong gets in the bats way, then Kelly throws up a walk., instead of 2 out , none on, Kelly needs a DP
