Tuesday, August 10: Tigers in town

[Il BuonO]

Boy, did he need that.

[SteveA]

Nice DP.  Great job by Mateo.

@Tony-OH

so, about this DiPlan fellow? SSS but what do you think?

[Gurgi]

More DOUBLE PLAYS please!!!   Nice job.

[O's84]

Well, it was too much to ask this bullpen to blank the Tigers.

[HowAboutThat]

I was about to say Plutko is terrible, but he saved me the trouble..

It is a contradiction that a guy can be terrible AND eat innings. If he is terrible, he can’t eat innings, so dump him and bring up someone else. Plutko has never been part of the future, he’s barely been part of the present. So there’s no reason to keep,him, and hasn’t been all season.

You’re looking at it the wrong way. You see, it’s only a two run game when he comes in. If Plutko comes in it’s almost assured it won’t remain that way. And they’re one step closer to a higher draft pick. 
 

Arizona look out, the Orioles are bad, too!

Wow, scary

Always scary to see that. Hill’s ribs were exposed because he reached up to make the catch.

They both hit the warning track too which didn't help on the landing.

On a positive note, Santander drove the ball in the gap and looks very comfortable at the plate again.

Great swings tonight even on the outs.

[SteveA]

So if the Tiger outfielder hadn't held onto the ball in the collision, then there would have been an extra baserunner in the 8th and DJ would have just been out #2 instead of out #3, and these two hits would have given the O's 7 runs and Franco would be run #8 in 3rd and Mate rib #9 on 2nd right now.

So sad for Wells. Work so long try so hard, and to falter after coming so far. So sad.

Keep him up, keep trying him, let him continue.
