[jz]

Well, this game is over.

[MDMAzing]

wow it would be nice if we could actually get a big hit more than once a week.

[pyrotigers]

reminder: the Tigers are getting shut out by Daniel Bard

[Hart]

Tight strike zone on the corners tonight.

Edit: except that! Stupid umps and their inconsistency.

[ToledoTigerFan]

Well, this game is over.

No, it isn't.

[thefunk]

well, not goin our way. We need some runs. 9 innings.

[Juck Verllo]

Time to make Bard our *****.

[CapitalTigers]

Anyone know the splits of Tigers record versus plus/minus .500 clubs? Seriously curious.

[Ingefanclub]

The Red Sox should be scared to face the Tigers in this ballpark.

If Verlander allows 4 runs in 4 innings here the Tigers should be putting up double digits every night.

[Hart]

Is anybody else worried about not even winning one game this series? This team is really a mess right now and it is hard to ever feel good about our chances.

[djb6]

That was a bad looking swing for Avila there.

If they lose a Verlander v Bard match up I'm worried about the Tigers ever winning another game of professional baseball as long as I live

[thefunk]

Well, this game is over.

feels like it.

also, these posts are getting old.

[Hart]

Avila looks like he is trying to pull everything this year. I thought he really turned the corner in September 2010 when he started hitting the ball up the middle and the other way more. That carried over to last season. But this year, his approach has regressed IMO.

[djb6]

Got one back there. Keep it going now boys!

[hail2mich]

'Bout time Jhonny. Too bad bases were empty, but at least it's a start

[thefunk]

1 down. 5 to go.

[pyrotigers]

Woo a dinger. Keep doing that Jhonny and I'll forget about your defense

[Hart]

Another solo shot. Whop-dee-do...

[Juck Verllo]

Whoa Jhonny jacked that baby!
1-4

[thefunk]

Santiago the only one showing plate discipline against this horrible pitcher. 4 pitch walk.

Bard Sucks.

[thefunk]

Another solo shot. Whop-dee-do...

are you serious? the phrase is "whoop", like basketball 'HOOP', not Whop as in cop.

should be a ban-able offense.

[Juck Verllo]

Bard wants nothing to do with Ramon

[pjk49202]

Incredibly maddening watching this team play. It's so hard to watch a team that doesn't score runs.

[hail2mich]

Come on Miguel. One swing away from getting back in this

[Hart]

it was a typo...and even if it wasn't, is it really something to get that upset about?

[MC24]

I'm not really shocked that we can't do anything with Bard. We usually make guys like this look good.

[BoomGaspar]

Good lord...Cabrera behind on 94?

[pyrotigers]

It feels like the Tigers have already played a million games this year where a bad opposing pitcher puts a ton of guys on base and they end up scoring 1 or 2 runs. Really need to make Bard pay soon

[Hart]

I didn't see yesterday's 0-4 game but Cabrera looks locked in to me right now.

[pyrotigers]

Nice, or he could swing at a pitch that's low and outside before it even breaks. Great at bat

[djb6]

I think it was tipped and then it hit the ground before he caught it...

[robgrave]

If Bard is so mediocre, why can't Miggy take him?

[Juck Verllo]

Miguel why you swing at that? Why?!?!

[ToledoTigerFan]

These ESPN announcers are going to short out their equipment if they keep pleasuring themselves during the game when the Tigers fail.

[djb6]

JV having a serious off night tonight. Wasn't it a few years ago we always struggled with ESPN games.

[pyrotigers]

If Bard is so mediocre, why can't Miggy take him?

He's not mediocre, he's terrible. The Tigers can't hit him because they are a bad offense.

[jz]

Tigers are awesome when they play the Twins.

[MC24]

Hopefully the rain holds off now. Come on bats!

[pyrotigers]

If a pitcher is described as 'effectively wild' it's probably a good way to know the offense has had a terrible approach at the plate
