Bonderman time?

 

[broncosmitty]

Yes sir!!! Did a nice job. Not much you can do about Dunn goin down to get that one. Hopefully that's the only inning Bondo has to go. But if its not.... Glad it's Jeremy out there for awhile.

 

[broncosmitty]

Leadoff man on.................... Again

 

[broncosmitty]

Nice job Iggy! First sac bunt of the year for the guy,... weird.

 

[broncosmitty]

My God Chicagos defense is horrible!!!

 

[aar000n]

Choke is shit.

Yet another walk-off loss. The 10-game road trip wear is showing. 1-2-3 hitters were a combined 1-for-16 last night. Ajax and Hunter are a combined 1-for-19 in the series. Not gonna score much when that happens.

HUNTER HINTS PERSONAL ISSUE BEHIND FIELDER'S SLUMP

CHICAGO (AP) -- Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter hinted on a radio show that teammate Prince Fielder's hitting slump might be caused by off-field issues.

Talking Tuesday with station Detroit Sports 105.1, Hunter suggested that critics back off.
He said ''a lot of people don't know what's going on'' in Fielder's life.

A four-time All-Star, Fielder was hitting just .219 with five homers and 27 RBIs over his previous 50 games entering Tuesday night.

Asked before the game about his comments, Hunter said they talked and that Fielder will ''be fine.'' He also called him a ''brother'' and added ''we've all got family issues, trust me.''

Fielder talked briefly and brushed off reporters, declining to go into any details.

Gosh, todays lineup looks even worse than what they had last night. Why not really shake things up jimmie and bat princess fifth, jose first and hunter and Jackson 8 & 9th?

Let mr new mexico and the coke-head pitch ONLY if you are up (or down) by 10 runs.

 

[Howie115]

Gosh, todays lineup looks even worse than what they had last night.

The only difference I see is Holoday in for Pena, and Pena needs a rest. No issues here.

Imagine that....another afternoon getaway, and its already 3-0........tigs leave 2 more on in the 1st, and the lowly sox show how to get guys in once on base....so sad.....swinging early and often.....danks will probably go 8-9 innings the way the guys will rush to get home today.....gonna get swept by the sox....so sad....glad we play in our division.....shouldve just rested miggy the last week....isnt like we have been winning.

 

[Cleaves2000]

First 2 men on....lets see how this plays out....

 

[aar000n]

Catch the ball infante. 2 hit his glove and he just drops them.

 

[Cleaves2000]

And miggy saves us AGAIN. why do pitchers pitch to him? Prince has 17 HR's

 

[MI Nightmare]

Yeah, we've lost a few in extra innings recently but that's exactly why Miggy is in there. He can change the outcome with one swing.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Just hoping Miggy doesn't have to slide or dive today. I don't think he's healthy enough to do either.

Nice $ 200 mil question there. He only has 14 IBB this year, which to me, is ridiculous. He lead the league back in 2010 with 32, and even that seems a bit low to me.

Why?

Well, when I look up a guy on par with him ( bear with me ), I see I number that seems like one Miggy should be having this year.

In 2004, Barry Bonds was I-walked 120 TIMES!!!!!

The logic just excapes me on this and on him.

 

[BigDDude]

Just hoping Miggy doesn't have to slide or dive today. I don't think he's healthy enough to do either.

The mystery is solved!!!!!!

He keeps hitting these bombs everyday, just becasue he can't and does not want to run. If only others players were evern smart enought to figure this out....

 

[Howie115]

Yeah that 2004 season for Bonds was ridiculous. 232 walks, 120 intentional.
