vs. MARINERS, 8/02

[Malike]

Its not just the strikeouts, its the hideously bad at bats during these strikeouts .

You called him a dominant hard thrower in the thread you started about him. If he's that good, then we should expect bad AB's against such a dominant pitcher.

[Can_of_corn]

So, in your scenario you have Wieters bunting? Are you that certain he can get one down? That it's a successful bunt that moves the runner into scoring position? Cuz I'm not.

I can't ever remember having seen Matt bunt, but I'm sure someone can look it up.

I know he bunted once in AA. It was a fairly big deal.

[Reboulet'sStache]

We might of missed our chance. Big opportunity missed. Now we might have to grind it out.

It feels like that. Some bad at bats early has hurt us. Luckily this guy is on a strict pitch limit.

[Ori-Al]

This is why you need to play fundamental baseball when you get runners on base. Runner on second, nobody out, try to hit to the right side to get them in or over. Runner on third, lesson two outs, look for a pitch to drive in the air to the outfield.

Do you ever think it was because most of our team was not used to being there?

We can Agree to Disagree on small ball in playoffs. We will find out in October.

This club doesn't score much for Miguel.

Well if he would stop being such a jerkface all the time.

[Monsieur Jones]

It feels like that. Some bad at bats early has hurt us. Luckily this guy is on a strict pitch limit.

And he's at like 72 pitches through 4

[Il BuonO]

You gonna bench him? You are letting Scherzer walk. You have Verlander for Ubaldo years.

Not necessarily, weams. And Ubaldo hasn't earned it either, noir does he have a track record here like Verlander in Detroit.

Is Paxton on a pitch count tonight? First game off DL.

Or Jim Thome. Maybe he could have.

The 1st couple innings he was awful. This inning he wasn't so I think complaints should only be addressed to some of the earlier innings. He's always had good stuff, his location was just bad. Now it isn't and he's going to be hard to hit.

I meant Verlander. Not Ubaldo. I meant the Tigers have to live with Verlander. Not Max.

[WEAVERMAN]

Get ahead Miguel, do your thing.
