I continue to be baffled by the lack of defensive replacements and moves in general.  When Detroit brought in a right handed reliever, we left Lamarre in...why no Cave, why no Kepler?  Scuffling?  Isn't that what Lamarre is doing?  When you have a reliever that has pitched in over half your games, it's just nuts.  At some point, as a manager, you need to trust some guys....and not the same guys over and over and over until their arms fall off.

The Tigers' Victor Reyes was 2-for-17 with nine strikeouts after 0-2 counts this season, before lacing that RBI single off Reed.

But at least we have lots of divisional games left

 

Hey guys! 

 

Have been really busy for the past week or so, haven't had time to pay attention to the team.

 

Did I miss anything?

You're making me jealous.

 

I have to wonder where on the list of reliever futility giving up 3 0-2 hits to three nobodies ranks.

On the "Minuscule Probability Event" map. This inning might only happen once every sever hundred, maybe even several thousand times.

Adrianza became the 3rd best hitter on the team.

A comeback here would be inspiring.

Gonna copy/paste this and send to Falvine.

 

Got Ozzie on speed-dial yet, guys?

Absolutely nailed it.  Good form!

Game 32 for Reed. Still game 64 for the team.

 

Quick, name the last team to have two relievers with 80 plus appearances.

It is a bit more comforting to know that this loss was 1,000% deserved

 

Adrianza became the 3rd best hitter on the team.

And it turns out we signed not Addison Reed, but Ron Davis.

Inspiring? Yeah might be time to give that a try. Public humiliation sure hasn't been working.

Which one is waiting in the Mgr's office after this game? 

 

Fal- or -vine?

 

At least one of 'em should be for sure.

 

Just sick of this.

That was one ugly loss.

1-2-3 9th.

 

That was a big surprise.

Adrianza became the 3rd best hitter on the team.

But not quite as good as Niko Goodrum. . . Oh, shoot.

Can't remember who it was the last couple of days lamenting on how we were supposed to be "feasting on the Central."

 

Concur, with tears.

Can someone please fix this organization

I have no tears for this team.

At least mlb.net always tells me “thank you for watching” at the end of these games. At least someone appreciates my masochism.

Well, we still can take 2 of 3, no?

MLB extra innings runs an hour long info for the shark vacuum cleaner, which is an apt commercial considering the sucking I watched for over three hours tonight

I'd 100% be on board for an Ozzie Guillen led Twins team, starting yesterday!

 

I have no tears for this team.

 

Not even a crocodile tear or two?

When do pitchers and catchers report to Ft Myers next year?

Okay, who let's a bullpen guy give up five hits in less than an inning in a one-run game before lifting him? Give me the manager's name!

I get it where guys are going to beat up Reed...but tonight, I thought he pitched well and had horrible luck and whoever that guy that squibbed one down the first base line was got an extra strike.  The first pitch to him was at the knees and down the middle of the plate.  I could argue that it should have been hit a long way and instead it gets called a ball.  Another 0-2 count and he throws one 3 inches off the plate that the guy slaps the opposite way.  I felt bad for him tonight.  He could not catch a break.

 

And it turns out we signed not Addison Reed, but Ron Davis.

Did he make Napoleon Dynamite before or after he was with the Twins?

 

Ah. Twins do have two hearts, eh?

Here i was trying to recall my Klingon anatomy...

They have two of most every organ... redundancy.
