Rangers motor into Detroit to rock the Tigers - 8/20 - 23

[WastinSomeTime]

2-0 sounds like a playoff type win. Have to win those low scoring games to go far

Colby has been a good post season pitcher.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

He got it. 134 pitches, but he got it.

 

[Kelleyman]

Yeah he got the no no but huge pitch count. He was very excited

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Fiers at 120 going into the 9th... that might backfire for him this week.

Got the 0 hitter.

When Colby has that breaking pitch going he is tough. Bu then he has games where it is like he is throwing batting practice. He has given up 10, 9, 7 and 5 twice yet his overall ERA is 4.49. That tells us he has had a lot of really good games.

I believe he lowered it to 4.29 tonight.

 

[romeo212000]

Got the 0 hitter.

Fuck me.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

See that Tulo is hitting just 216 since coming to the AL.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I believe he lowered it to 4.29 tonight.

You are probably right. I think 4.49 was his ERA going into this game.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We are even with Baltimore. If the Angels lose we would be just 1/2 game behind them again.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I get the impression if we were all at a bar, the discussion of Colby Lewis would go something like this:

 

[romeo212000]

Brand new LHP on the mound tomorrow. We're fucked






Napoli better be starting.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I know this is not baseball but I am so tired of all the National Enquirer/tabloid stuff everywhere you look. There was a 10 year old girl in the ocean around Jacksonville, Florida who was bit in the leg by a shark and she went into shore. She saw a 6 year old girl who just stood still out in the water so she went back out into the water and got her and walked her back to shore. The 10 year old had 90 stitches and will be fine. That girl has more character than most adults. If I saw that girl I would give her a big hug.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Brand new LHP on the mound tomorrow. We're fucked






Napoli better be starting.

Hope so. I am guessing Straus too.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Wolf didn't pitch in 2013, only 6 games in 2014, and hasn't pitched this year. Why exactly did the Tigers get him?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

After 6 innings Cespedes has 3 HRs.

 

[Kelleyman]

It's like arena football in Colorado

 

[WastinSomeTime]

It's like arena football in Colorado

No kidding. D'Arnaud and Conforto just hit back to back HRs in the 7th. Now Mets lead 12-8. Covered up Colon's bad outing.

 

[saddles]

Dillon Tate had a good 2 innings tonight for Hickory. Brett Martin followed Tate and pitched 6 innings of one run baseball himself.

After sitting out last night's game Gallo hit the first pitch he saw for a double.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Toronto and Angels playing each other, Twinkies have been taking it to Baltimore, Greinke and Kershaw going up against Houston and Anibal Sanchez on the DL for the Tigers. I see a golden opportunity to gain ground the next 2 days against several teams. The Tigers pitching staff won't be able to match their effort in the first 2 days, and it won't be close.

 

[Kelleyman]

I do think managers are using these reviews and challenges to stall to let relief pitchers get ready
