Believe me, I already thought about this. Anyway, a 1-2-3 1st inning for Bondo. Maybe this is the turnaround point on his season (whatever is left in it).
More of the same from Tigs. After leaving runners at the corners in the 1st they only get 1 run out of bases loaded one out situation. Now Tigers have 1 run on 5 hits.
Tigers finally win a game on the strength of their top 4. The bottom of the lineup didn't show up for the game. But a win is a win and now maybe they can string a few of them together. Otherwise, September is going to be meaningless.
Bondo can preform in Toledo if he doesn't do it here. Let's pretend his name is Flip Saunders and I'll bet he's moved tomorrow.
Agree. Bondy finally turned in a good performance. If anything send Andrew Miller back to Toledo,try Zach Miner as the 5th starter. Also try Guillen at third and send Inge to the bull pen to play catch with the relievers. Also force Pudge to take the first two pitches if he ever comes up with the bases loaded.
I agree about Inge. I'm to the point now where I would rather see the pitchers bat and use the DH for Inge.
Inge has become Mr. Automatic Out on this team. This is unfortunate, since he sure has the talent. I am not sure what it is with him, but he needs to get his head on straight. Otherwise he'll be shipped outta here faster than you can say "strikeout".
That is actually against the rules. I didn't know that, but looked it up, and the DH can only be used for the pitcher's substitute.
Sent him straight from KC huh? Didn't even have time to fly back to his apartment or "extended stay" unit in Michigan to pick up his personal items... I guess we will see if the next experiment in Vasquez will work tonight. Maybe the bats will come out to give him some run support??
Tigers lose in what should of been a win. They blew a 7-0 lead and end up losing 8-7 in 10 innings. Just a bad loss. It's September and there is no room to be blowing games like this, especially when the Yankees AND Mariners lose and what could of been picking up some ground in the wildcard. Only good news is Kenny Rogers is coming back and starting Wednesday against the White Sox...
Only 2.5 back now in the Wild Card race as the Mariners beat the Stinkees. Wild card still attainable; division a pipe dream with Cleveland up 6.
I think this whole season is a pipe dream. The team has too many holes. Looks like they overachieved last season. Looks just like White Sox when they got their 'ship.
The real Tigers lost to a .500 team during the World Series. The team that cleaned up during the American League playoffs just got lucky.
