Texas vs Detroit game 2/3

[kennyt12]

Maybe Verlander is getting cold and stiff watching Neftali throw 40 pitches this inning!

 

[1502tuley]

5 men have reached base on 1 hit.

 

[kennyt12]

Part of me likes Neftali get into a little trouble. It will help him to learn how to pitch through these situations. I'd like him to learn to save something for these situations like Verlander does.

I take back what I just said. I don't want him to ever get into trouble!

 

[jta4437]

The good thing is both hits are on really good pitches, they just went to the perfect spot

 

[1502tuley]

He can't even hit the zone with his fast ball

 

[kennyt12]

I just need to remind myself that this is going to happen from time to time with Feliz. This is his first year as a starter and he's going to struggle. We just have to trust that he'll pull out of it.

The walks are a bit troubling though

 

[1502tuley]

Are you fucking kidding me. No one is warming up in the pen?

 

[1502tuley]

3 runs on 2 hits. Feliz, that's horse shit.

 

[guitarmy21b]

I think he'll be okay

 

[kennyt12]

Alright, why didn't Neftali attack the other hitters the way he attacked Inge? If he does that then we get out of the inning a few batters earlier! He needs to learn to trust his stuff and his defense and put the ball over the plate.

 

[kennyt12]

I think he'll be okay

I agree! You have to ride the ups and downs. Eventually he'll become more consistent as he gets more experience.

 

[1502tuley]

That's the way to look at a great pitch and swing at crap.

 

[jta4437]

He was being old Feliz that inning, it was just fastball after fastball with the occassional breaking pitch

 

[guitarmy21b]

He just needs to build some confidence, which is why I'd love to see him get the W over Verlander. He knows he can beat the M's and Twins

 

[Voltaire26]

how the fuck can his wheels fall off so fast.

First ... its freaking cold up here. Second the Tigers are finally working the pitcher. We will trade you Brandon Inge for Feliz. Matter of fact you can have Inge for free.

I was upset I was missing the no-no. That went to hell in a hand basket quick.

 

[1502tuley]

If hambone could lay off that low and outside pitch he would be unstopable

 

[kennyt12]

Once again, Josh strikes out and doesn't get one pitch thrown for a strike. We have a chance to do something and he swings at trash!

 

[1502tuley]

That was pathetic. He didn't throw josh 1 single strike and he swung at all of them.
