Won . Bullpen is a problem

 

[adrian2]

Bulpen whip is # 7 in the AL. Middle of the pack. The issue everyone overlooks is defense. Horrible 12 out of 14 in defense efficiency converting only 67.1 percent of balls in play into outs. In the last few games I have seen.

Hunter misplay a routine fly into a triple which scored
Kinsler an error last night and also slipped not converting an easy DP.
Holaday throwing error allow a run to score
Davis throwing error allowing runner to take extra base and score.
Add to that AJ already has 3 errors this season. He had only 3 the last 2 seasons.

Yes pen is shaky, but the D is not helping out.

 

[adrian2]

Just in. Jose Ortega who had 10K and 6 BB for an era of 3.86 in around 11 innings last season in Detroit. Miller sent down. Nobody really standing out at Toledo, except Robbie Ray. So we shall see.

Slim Miggy getting a good workout in today.

Tigs up 2-0.

Is Jim Leyland available for long relief today. He couldn't manage, maybe he could toss a few innings to give Krol, Joba and Coke some relief.

Ut OH what did I miss???? Sanchez heading to the dugout? Replay of Porcello last nite? If I saw right that means extended bullpen time today?

Good gravy......

 

[themuzzer]

Yo! adrian, give me the low down, I was walking by the screen (missed it) but don't know why sanchez left, for that matter had company over last nite and don't know why Porcello was pulled.

 

[themuzzer]

Ausmus with another great challenge....At first I thought he was safe, but after many replays from a certain angle, he was barely out......Replay gets it right and I'm always a fan of that.

I thought he was safe until the replay. I've enjoyed Ausmus' proactive and aggressive approach to the game.

2-0 game, with our mildly struggling offense, is no time to get lackadaisical on the mound.

 

[themuzzer]

Here comes the circus.....Oh lord.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Holaday sucks.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Damnit we need another all around solid catcher. We let go of Pudge a year or two too early, imo.

That's another great attribute of Ausmus. He can work with these guys but it'll take a little time. And maybe he spots someone else that will be an upgrade in the near future...

 

[MI Nightmare]

Here comes the circus.....Oh lord.

Bases juiced, 0 outs....Coke runs the count to 3-0.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Gotta throw strikes Phil.

 

[themuzzer]

Bases loaded and Coke tosses four strait balls.......It's beyond sad, pitchers that refuse to throw strikes suck.....They are chicken and need to be in single A.......ala Coke. He's chicken because the second he tosses a strike he knows it's going over the fence and everyone knows it.....

 

[themuzzer]

Seriously, if Coke is on the team tomorrow people need to be fired. It's no secret....I don't give a shit if they play with a 24 man roster, atleast that forces the manager to leave someone in the game rather then letting this POS pitch.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Coke's got zero confidence. I'd pull his ass. Wild pitch there.

No freakin' outs.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Goddamn will Coke GTFO already!!! And Ortgea sucks!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GODDAMN PEN!!
