Melky was absolutely awful tonight. Bat looks to be dragging big time.

6-5 in the 5th now after another Schwarber 3 run homer. Ausmus and Ventura are just horrible managers

How many ground outs is that tonight?

So Saladino faces Smith but Avi can't?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 05:01 AM) What the hell abreu Just a horrible effort tonight

Did Avi stop running to 2nd there?

Two runs in this series, only due to errors. Nice effort offense

Batting Abreu is pointless with Eaton struggling

Have a game Melky

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 03:45 AM) Eaton looking pretty crappy the past couple days Shouldn't be playing every day right now with his bad shoulder.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 02:23 AM) 11-11 in 22 starts. 11 quality starts. His bad is awful. Still not a bad 5th starter. Just have to accept he's overpaid for who he is. Yep, he's fine if Samardzija doesn't pitch like a #5 starter

Well, poor greg

2 batters, 2 runs for the Angels

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) Given all the breaks they've caught this year, this game getting rained out before it's official would be par for the course. Battle of bullpens and wind howling out is far from an easy Tigers win

No LaRoche or Thompson tonight. Garcia at DH, Shuck in RF

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 06:02 AM) .407 vs. .758 is your answer. RH hitters are hitting .176 with a .407 OPS vs. Joe Smith. LH hitters have fared a lot better. Salas and Street have big splits as well. Can't believe Beckham got two at bats vs them.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:41 AM) Robin has some explaining to do It's like he didn't look ahead to possible matchups in the top of the 9th

Inexcusable managing by Ventura.

No Soto for Beckham?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) Avi has to be hurt. It goes against all logic even dumbing it down to Robin standards. With Avi being DH, he probably just made the straight platoon switch

Saladino's swing is awful. Way too long

Heck of a start for Rodon. Great to see him go 8 innings without throwing 200 pitches

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:27 AM) No, we'll unload the bench to pinch hit in the 9th because, it's the 9th. Sanchez and Soto only guys left. Assuming Avi isn't injured, using LaRoche for him instead of for Flowers is crazy.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:25 AM) Roll those hands over AR..................this team is full of automatic outs. Something that Maddon started doing with Castro (who hits an insane amount of ground balls) is basically doing a hit-and-run whenever someone is on first with Castro up.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:24 AM) And of course Alexei grounds into the DP. Probably the least surprising result of the season
