AL Central 2010

Er...the Tigers are playing on the road where they consistently suck. I'll be happy just winning the three game series.

Tigers road record (16-25) and Indians home record (17-22) are about the same though.

 

[Sparkman]

at the end they threw Thome a pitch that was called a ball for a 1-1 count. 2 pitches later Jenks throws the exact pitch in the same spot and its called a strike to end the game?

damn umpires

I agre, although I think Thome got a break on the first on of those 2, it was over the plate. You just can't take that pitch twice.

 

[Mr Tony]

You just can't take that pitch twice.

so true

Yea they are sucking already tonight. Btw it's a 4 game series.

I don't think Boesch is "seeing" the ball very good. He really looks like a rookie out there right now.

He's needs something to get that confidence back.

 

[DetFan]

He looks fine. Tough at bat against a lefty tough on lefties. More concerned about this bullpen tonight. This is a bad bad team we should just kill. Way to show up tonight tigers.

Tigers left their hitting shoes in Detroit. 8-2 top 7.

Yep, some people forget they are a god awful team on the road...even against the last place teams. We'll be lucky to escape with a 2-2 split after this wonderful start.

I sure hope so, he looked like he was guessing at the plate today.

Yes, unfortunately they do indeed suck on the road and there is no way to sugar-coat a soon to be 16-26 road record.

A .342 BA and he lacks confidence ?

 

[Jimbo]

Tigers at cellar dwellers this weekend. Gonna sweep em and reclaim 1st.

Thanks again Tom.

Next time you make a prediction I'm going to Vegas.

Game isn't over.

 

[Jimbo]

Game isn't over.

It is NOW !

 

[Jimbo]

Thank you Twins !

 

[Claude Greiner]

Thank You twins that they are now beating Chicago?

Never thought I would be happy about the Twins actually winning a game?

 

[Mr Tony]

Twins up 7-4 right now bases loaded for Chisox

Friggin Rauch apparently melts in the heat.... they just pulled him

 

[Mr Tony]

yay! Twins win!

 

[Mr Tony]

I noticed Detroit plays the Tribe tomorrow in a d/n DH

do teams no longer do twi-night dh'ers anymore? I can understand when you sell out dang near every game like some teams do but in Cleveland I dont see them selling out to not have a regular DH

 

[Davedirectv]

A .342 BA and he lacks confidence ?

In my opinion, yes, today he looked like he did just that.

He was swinging at some bad pitches, the one rbi he had came off a ball that very well could have been a single, but he hit it at somebody.

The way he played in the field carried over into the batter's box, IMHO.

He'll bounce back tomorrow, or tomorrow night.
