Series Thread: Tigers in town 6/24-26

It's great to be judge of all that's worthy from behind that keyboard.
Last week you called me a dick for a stated opinion and chime in darn near every time I post an opinion. Now I'm an asshole and all because I think you post like a kid. Ironic how that worked out...yes sir, it's good to be judge of all that is worthy on a message board

BTW....I liked your post as well.

I don't care how you think I post. I think you are an asshole because of the way you talk to people. I didn't call you a dick either. I told you to eat a dick.

BTW....You chimed in on me. I responded to that because you said nothing about baseball.

keep pointing that finger

Minus the first inning Colby looked pretty good, giving up some hard hit balls and getting out of jams, gave up 1 run through 6 with 6 hits and no walks, but it wasn't always pretty, but he battled

Wash had no one ready to go at the start of the 7th and that was a big mistake

Lewis' big collapse was an inning later than usual but I think most people knew it was coming soon, someone should've been ready as soon as Lewis gave up a baserunner, not 3 batters later

Very encouraging start for Lewis though, hopefully this is the start of better things for him

......It was at least a positive sign from Colby.

this is getting a lot of local radio play. Many think Ian should be drilled. His target for the wave may of been JD but he insulted the players and most certainly Lewis. Kinsler looked small to me and I hope like heck he takes one in the ribs before he gets outta town

Well said. And I'm somewhat surprised Lewis didn't let him have one last night. But tonight will work.

Your post really didn't have any baseball merit... I don't know how this can even be debated, just own up to it or ignore his responses

My only guess is 1) Lewis is a bigger man than that and didn't let it bother him to that extent 2) he can't afford the extra baserunners

Probably a little of both. With Cabrera and the two Martinez hitting behind him.

Lord....this doesn't bode very well on any front for us tonight.

The Tigers (41-32) have scored 29 runs and are batting .323 in the first four games of a nine-game road trip.
Even if the offense doesn't keep it up, Detroit will have Anibal Sanchez to lean on. Sanchez (4-2, 2.33 ERA) last lost on April 21. In eight starts since, he's 4-0 with a 1.82 ERA and .173 opponent batting average.

I'm in Gun Barrel City, which is about 1 1/2 hours east of the metroplex. It's rained all morning here. What's it doing in Arlington?

 

[donaldson79]

he can't afford the extra baserunners.....Way too much truth there.

But I always thought of Lewis as having somewhat of an ornery streak in him.

 

[donaldson79]

Here's another foreboding sign for us tonight.

Joe Saunders (0-3, 4.11) is coming off possibly his worst effort in a Texas uniform. The left-hander allowed seven runs -- four earned -- and 10 hits while walking three in 4 2/3 innings of Friday's 7-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Opponents are batting .368 against Saunders in four June starts.

I also don't think Lewis had the opportunity.
I do think Ian should be drilled and will be disappointed if it doesn't happen

Own upping is fine if it applies...
Post 37 had baseball merit and it wasn't directed at the kid that told me to eat a dick a day earlier
Post 49 was kid like response and more of his thin skin issues.
Post 178 had zero baseball merit

So I question his age...now certainly his maturity level. Guilty....I tend to respond back to posters who post directly to me....and the name calling tends to get me on the edge of my seat.

He did a post game, and he simply stated he was disappointed, by his tone I could kind of see him not giving it too much extra thought, probably a passing "Jerk" and then back to business

I still wish we would put him in the long relief role and see what we get out of Baker.

Just started raining in Flower Mound/Lewisville area.

So now everyone gets to question your age and maturity? Don't say you don't care bc if you didn't you wouldn't even make such posts, you would've just moved on and not responded to something said over 100 posts ago

Now you look like the one with thin skin

 

[jta4437]

I'd just prefer our pitchers worry about pitching and not retaliation, they've had enough trouble getting outs and allowing baserunners to be putting additional guys on

You mean like calling someone a child?

Makes more sense.

Thanks....it's astounding how much more rain we've gotten here compared to most of DFW. We've gotten like a foot since the beginning of the month. According to my buddies rain gauge anyway. And I can believe it since I'm sitting indoors damn near everyday this month.
