vs. TIGERS, 4/06

[Dark Helmet]

This team just isn't making good contact this year. Lots of weak grounders and jam shots. Swinging and missing at alot of fat pitches toom Timing seems off.

I couldn't help but think of Cust. I know it's different, but still....

It was kinda the same.

[Don Quixote]

Hangout being slow for anyone else?

Testing....

Not like lightning for me, but I don't have the same Internet service I used to. Still, it's better than before the maintenance.

[weams]

Half of our guys are so overmatched that Verlander can literally just ignore location and just mix speeds and throw strikes.

How many hanging curves are we gonna miss?

Which half?

[scOtt]

Comcast sucks! Home internet completely gone. At least the TV is still on...

[Don Quixote]

It was kinda the same.

Yeah, just the opposite way from home. The same, but different. :laughlol:

[Il BuonO]

Nice CB there.

[ExileAngelos]

Thorne said it again haha

[Dark Helmet]

Has Tillman already matched the combined 1-2-3 innings so far this season?

[weams]

Thorne said it again haha

Tillman looks great.

[Ori-Al]

Three perfect innings-I hope our other four starters are watching.

Nobody has reminded Gary of Bud's first-inning yesterday.

1-5 would be a pretty big hole to try and dig out of, guys. I think we only had a couple 5 game win streaks last year. This team doesn't put together winning streaks with the streaky hitters/pitchers we have.

I think anyone who isn't worried at this point is seriously kidding themselves. With most teams, I'd buy "it's early". With this team? Not so much.

I've already had that same thought re: early deficit versus recent capability of winning streaks. Starting on the wrong foot can have far-reaching consequences, indeed, and can't be overlooked, but I'm hoping they can shake this out. I'd be pleased (in the context of currently being 1-4) if they could come out of New York 4-5.

Don't need to win 5 in a row to go on an 8-2 run.

Meat of the order comes up and Verlander just goes into locate mode. He's got no respect for everybody else.
