And if you’re going to green light, crazy not to have Turang in motion to at least stay out of the double play.

I couldn't agree more on that point.

I swear I didn't audibly groan when I saw that Perkins was coming up to bunt...

[liveforoctober]

Hard to compete against the best pitcher in baseball with this lineup, right boys? ;)

The Matos, Perkins, Rengifo, Ortiz portion of todays lineup is clear proof that we need to make some roster moves. None of those guys have the slightest chance to hit Skubs.

I have really had some really good mojo recently when I call out a guy for stinking with the bat they have had a good game or at least gotten a hit.

 

[Team Canada]

Drat, at least get him to 3rd with 1 out.

The Tigers have two players under a .600 OPS and .200 BA in their lineup. 

We have four under a .200 BA and five under a .600 OPS.

True.  But we probably wouldn't have 4 in the lineup w/o injuries to Yelich/Chourio/Vaughn.  They've made some decisions with the roster I wouldn't have made.  I'll give you that.

If Perkins can deliver, so can Joey. Right???

May not have scored a run, but I'll take it!

[owbc]

Bottom of the order! Bottom of the order!!!

Thank you for your service.

The bottom of the order picked up the top of the order from the previous inning.

[adambr2]

Did not have Matos, Perkins, Ortiz and Hamilton all getting hits in the same inning on my bingo card today.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I just noticed that Hinch took out Skubal to put in a lefty reliever. That was a choice, I guess.

[adambr2]

No Lockridge, that’s easily a strike. 

[adambr2]

But that one isn’t. Come on Brice!

[Bulldogboy]

Bust it open boys

[owbc]

Turang is a bum compared with these bottom of the order guys. 

[adambr2]

Disappointing. But nice inning. 

[nate82]

Top of the order no help there.

[Bulldogboy]

Of course. Hitting a sac fly seems to be something this team struggling to do. Why swing at a pitch at your knees when all you need is a flyball?

[ErnieRilesBrianGiles]

How about them "peckers"!

[BarremlensTSSC]

Not Turang's day so far, but I'll take a 4-3 lead in a game where Skubal started for the Tigers.

Said before that I'm not sure why Matos is on the roster and I guess scoring from 1st on a double is probably a big part of it.  I mostly meant that I'm not sure what he offers that Lockridge doesn't (or Frelick) but...🤷‍♂️

[owbc]

The Tigers broadcast showed Skubal chucking things in the dugout. Certified Brewers woodpecker moment. 

[BarremlensTSSC]

I know the numbers on the 3rd time through the order are what they are for most starters but at some point you've got to let Sproat throw more than 75 pitches.  Preferably before Asby et al start having their arms fall off.

[Team Canada]

Megill looking much better of late.
