With the way the Tigers are PRANCING off of the field after Nate's 1-2-3 inning, they know they can get their first win today. The Tigers know Contreras has NOTHING and absolutely BLOWS. if the Tigers' body language is any indicator, they're about to blow this game wide open.

I know it, it seems as of Ozzie still hangs on to the '05 and even the '06 Jose rather than the Jose of late...he just doesnt have it anymore

 

I'm not sure about that. Whatever Contreras is missing in terms of confidence, he needs to @#$!#@ find it. I saw him in a few ST games and he looks great, good velocity, good stuff...he just need to believe in himself again.

First 2 pitches called balls?

 

I love that ESPN hasn't bothered to update their headshots.

Yay...lets get creamed.

Contreras needs to be taken out immediately.

when you can't throw a breaking ball without hurting your arm, what difference does it make that Colon is throwing 95?

hey OZ. its time to go grab Jose.

Clete Thomas just killing us....geez get him outta there Ozzie....lets go with Masset....this game is still winnable

Sox like speed

this feels like one of those polanco moment where it's quickly first and third with no outs.

1-2 spinner and who needs Granderson.

 

Is is unlistenable.

Who was that hayseed from Detroit a couple years ago that started off batting like .700 with 10 dingers (Chris something I think)...is that Charles Thomas this year?

What happened to the server?

where was that second pitch to polanco????

just cuz it doesnt hit the cather right in the mit and AJ had to reach for it doesnt mean it didnt cross the plate...thats my #1 peave with umpires

shelton

I don't quite know if Jose understand if that he's supposed to throw strikes. Balls worked for Rick Vaughn but never for anyone else.

Chris Shelton?

I don't know what Ozzie is trying to prove with Contreras still being in this game.

Yay, Masset is up!

Conteras's issues can be tied to his arm angle. During ST, his arm angle was up high. He had good velocity, with the arm up high you can drive down on the splitter and you get the backward motion that creates the tumble action.

 

Side arm Contreras throws with less velocity, the side arm motion creates a sailing action that raises the ball in the zone. You cannot pull down.

Is Ozzie this blind?

Uh oh. This is not looking like our inning.

We just aren't going to win this one. Errors, walks, just pathetic.

uh wtf cabrera

Should be an E on Cabrera.

 

Masset's up.
