Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

[Hammer]

Okay, when Jim Price disagrees with a called 3rd strike that goes our way, you KNOW it’s a bad call.

[Hammer]

It's Mullet Night in Chicago.

Given that we're playing at the White Sox, I'm not sure how we can tell.

[Spartanforlife4]

If it ain't Ten Cent Beer Night or Disco Demolition Night it's not a real MLB promotion.

[MaizeRage]

2.5 back. Which prospects can they dump to pick up Cole Hamels at the trade deadline?

[Hammer]

VerHagen just got his nose busted open because he didn't catch the throw from 2nd while covering 1st on a double play. He was in position. He just missed the ball with his glove.

To make matters worse, I guess BUCK FUTTER!!!! is now entering the game instead.

8-0 Reds.

[Spartanforlife4]

Sigh...

On the cusp of .500 and get swept by Cincy.

[Hammer]

And now we get to go to Cleveland. Yay.

[Spartanforlife4]

Apparently we'll be playing the Royals in Omaha next year as a partnership with the College World Series.

[Hammer]

I saw that earlier this afternoon. Hey, if KC is willing to burn home games, that's fine with me. I think it's kind of neat.

[Hammer]

Boyd can't even get an out in the 4th. 6-2 Tribe.

[Hammer]

Apparently Drew VerHagen is starting this afternoon’s game, and Fiers is going tonight.

Also tonight is the MLB Draft. The Tigers pick #1. The expected pick is Casey Mize, a pitcher from Auburn. The book on this kid is nice command of his secondary pitches. Big strikeout/walk ratio. Something like 153-12 this year. We’ll see.

Mize signs.

Castellanos goes oppo for a three run shot! 4-1 in the 7th.

[Spartanforlife4]

And now Victor beats out a dropped third strike. Promptly pinch ran for as that's about all the physical exertion he can handle these days.

[Hammer]

Just got home. Completely missed that we were playing this afternoon.

Jimenez in a jam in the 8th.

And now Victor beats out a dropped third strike. Promptly pinch ran for as that's about all the physical exertion he can handle these days.

Well, if he runs much farther, his leg will probably disassemble piece by piece like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon.

[Hammer]

Aw, Jesus Christ. Jimenez blew the lead in about 6 batters.

4-4 and Shane Greene is coming in to finish the job.

[Hammer]

Sugar Shane gives up the go-ahead run in the 9th for the 2nd straight day.

[Hammer]

7 game losing streak.

[Hammer]

Pitching coach Chris Bosio fired. Insensitive comments.

We’ll find out what he said soon enough.

They pitch like a bunch of girls?
