It's been years (literally decades) since I've seen an outfielder so completely lose sight of a fly ball like Cleveland's CF.

Ya, he wasn't within 20 feet of the ball when it came down ... what a feeling that must be.

Makes me wonder if he was talking or not paying attention when the pitch was made, usually when that happens, your at least close.

The ball looks like it dropped 15-years away. It was a lazy high fly-ball so he can't say he lost it in the sun or lights. I think he was daydreaming.

Thats what I was thinking ...


Porcello made it thru his typical BAD 4th inning tonight and now he's usually pulled after 6 ... but he's only thrown 75 ish pitches, if he has a good inning here, he may come back.

I would love to see a CF Iso on him before the pitch ... he either made a wrong step initially or as were presuming ...botched it all the way.

Well, he almost made it thru the 6th.

Now on comes Al Al to see if he can make this a game again ... Ugh

So what's the status of tonight's rain delay...tired of seeing the blue screen on MLB TV.

Haven't heard yet .... Tigers had one rained shortened go against them last week, maybe they will have it work out for them this time.

Then again, theres no doubt where this game is going .

 

[riffjim4069]

Are the rains going to move out in time to resume the game?

I would think soon, but it's 11:15 already ...

It looks like it shouldn't be much longer rain wise, but then you have the clearing the tarp and all.

Game Called after 7 innings ...

The Omar Infante show tonight

The Omar Infante show tonight

Yup, Cabrera takes the day off and others pick up the slack.

Infante with 2 HR's and 5 rbi.

Why is it these same players have to wait for Cabrera when he's in there ?

Tigers appear to have the Indians number again this season. They have played everyone else pretty tough this season.

This is the last series of the year for the Indians and Tigers.

Tigers have 6 more with the White Sox and KC.

3 with Boston next, then 3 with Seattle, and Miami and thats it !

Not in that order, Boston starts Monday ...

We let 'em back into the game, but it was nice to close the door in the 8th inning. Scary moment when Austin Jackson ran into the wall...I was thinking his wrist was broken the way he reacted.

 

[riffjim4069]

JV taking the mound shortly. I'm sure we're all hoping he can get things going before the playoffs.

 

[riffjim4069]

JV is pitching a good game...just hope we don't waste the performance; 0-0 after 6-innings. Go Tigers!

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers in a pickle here in the 9th...

 

[riffjim4069]

The 9th-inning Grand Salami ain't too fun when you're on the receiving end.
