3 whole runs? In an entire series?

Greedy much?

Call @tzill a wild eyed optimist.

Some shitty defense in left from Matos. Dude is a bust like Luciano.

 

[stanford the manford]

Matos not exactly graceful in left, whew....

 

[msgkings322]

Bird just threw a nasty ass slider that bounced in front of home plate and the batter swung over it like 3 feet away lol

 

[tzill]

Clean two for Bird, more or less. Disappointing, as usual, effort from the "hitters."

 

[tzill]

Three clean for Bird. "offense" still MIA.

Why is it that Yaz' ABs look like he has a train to catch.

And for years, all we ever heard was what a defensive wizard he was in the OF.

He certainly hasn’t shown that in the bigs yet.

Agreed, my comment was more for the 'we can never trade Luciano/Matos/some other prospect' crowd

Bird dinged for one run in the fourth. Feels like five runs.

Anemic offense is anemic. 0-1 T5

I'm out. Get em tomorrow.

 

[msgkings322]

Birdsong coming back down to Earth a bit today (see what I did there?)

Credit to BoMel being proactive and getting him out before the 3rd time through the order.

Our bats need to get some runs still but maybe we hold them to 1-2 runs

It's close to that. This "offense" is unwatchable.

 

[msgkings322]

Then Miller walks the first guy lol

And then gives up a 2 run hit

Oh well

 

[tzill]

aaaaand, that's game.

Get 'em tomorrow.

Let’s tie this up already

Smart for Detroit to bring in a righty for Flores, and he still got an RBI single!

 

[msgkings322]

Adames though
