[ToledoTigerFan]

As the old left-hander rounds third and heads for home tonight, he'll be crying about the final score......

Tigers 6
Reds 4

[jaymo]

Still too many relievers, right? Hopefully we won't see a relief pitcher bat in the next week or so.

[ToledoTigerFan]

PLAY BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sabretooth]

Berry 8, Boesch 9, Cabrera 5, Fielder 3, D.Young 7, Peralta 6, Laird 2, Santiago 4, Porcello 1.

I know it's a crazy and totally out there idea, but I wish we would've put Porcello in the 8th spot in the lineup.

Could the defense be any worse with how we have on the roster?

Could our corner OFers be ANY worse all-around?

If this is still the gruel we're served after the ASB, I'm probably going to check-out as a fan.

[dadair6]

Big fan at the ballpark tonight


Game time

[jaymo]

Heisy misses and that's an in-the-Parker.

[pyrotigers]

It's always depressing when other teams remind me how MLB teams play defense

and then Boesch swings at a pitch that bounces in front of home plate lol

[jaymo]

Big fan at the ballpark tonight


Game time

Nice seats.

At least it wasn't Reyburn.

[Dawgs]

What a horrible AB by Boesch. This is an automated response.

[Greenwit]

Wow....boesch. Just no words.

[thefunk]

I got sunburned bad at grad rehearsal this mid day. I'm already pissed.

Don't add to that, Tigers.

[jaymo]

Ooh. National League baseball.

[Greenwit]

Delmon made a strong throw to the IF. Good on him.

[thefunk]

Looks like we've taken this disaster on the road...

[HighHeat]

Dang, nothing you could do on either of those

[Greenwit]

Cue circus music.

[Dawgs]

I am insulted by what management has tried to pass off as a MLB defense this season. DD needs to be fired.

[MC24]

Every game feels like a rewind of the last....getting pathetic.

[thefunk]

I'll take a rewind of the last game....we won! I'll take that 100 more times!

[HighHeat]

What would you have Porcello do??? He tried the only option he had.

[RandyMarsh]

It just the little things that other teams seem to do that I wish we could do, like on that fly ball, the runner on 1st advanced to 2nd on that. If he didn't do that, this is still a scoreless game. I'm 99% sure that if that nobody on our team would've had the smarts(or in Cabrera's case the speed) to advance on that.

[jaymo]

That could have been a lot worse.

[thefunk]

damaged is limited. wow. That's a good sign. The old Tigers of 2012 would have given up 4 there.

[HighHeat]

Way to go Rick! Got out of a bad luck jam with minimal damage. As some of you say, mentally strong!

[jpete66]

What is with Porcello and the first inning? He has Jeremy Bonderman disease.

[JackT]

Time for some runs boys!!

[JackT]

damaged is limited. wow. That's a good sign. The old Tigers of 2012 would have given up 4 there.

Yeah. This new 2012 team is mentally tough and gets the job done! They are going to crush the Reds tonight!!

[HighHeat]

Patience Delmon, and nothing on the ground

[jaymo]

Latos threw a first pitch so bad Delmon wouldn't swing!

[thefunk]

Latos looks like a burn out. Light him up, boys.

[Eric Cioe]

Just watching an AB of a competent pitcher against Delmon shows you what the scouting report on him is.

[thefunk]

meow. kitties roll over.

[RandyMarsh]

Leadoff walk, followed by an infield pop-up and double play. Can't say that I'm surprised. As much as I hate IBBing if I was an opposing manager it would be awfully tempting to IBB cabrera and Fielder every time they are up and just make the other 7 bums beat you.

[HighHeat]

Nice clean inning for Rick. Now let's see if he can help his own cause.

[Greenwit]

Lefties hitting. 324 against Rick. Just about like last year.

[JackT]

Laird with a rocket to right for a hit!

[HighHeat]

Lefties hitting. 324 against Rick. Just about like last year.

Yikes! Maybe he should learn to throw a cutter. Couldn't hurt.

[ToledoTigerFan]

Looked like the RF could've caught Laird's hit.

[JackT]

Let the kid swing away. Porcello has a good swing.

[waffel]

Pitchers hitting, always enjoyable. Like watching a fat person trying to dance.
