Starting to hit the ball harder. Thome's best bet is to wait for an outside fastball and hit it out to left center.

The first time I saw him go the other way as a plan was Monday night. Hence another reason an all fields gap machine who makes contact like crazy might be a nice change for the 2 hole.

 

I'd be fine with it, but Alexei isn't killing us in the 2 hole and Beckham at the bottom of the order creates a lot of balance.

Harness , seriesly.

Pete Harnisch?

Not a fan of the grammar police but yea that was a f*** up, Gage/BearSox style.

wow, that 0-1 pitch to Thome was an absolute meatball!

I would like to see Beckham in the 2 hole. Beckham with a steady diet of fastballs could be deadly.

I agree, against the better teams Beckham can't bat 9th and once CQ starts hitting for power again move him up too.

I was the spelling police.

Another pitch right down the pipe.

BRANYAN!

branyan 2 run hr 2-1 mariners

Another pitch right down the pipe.

 

Hell yes it was. Shields tried to let Thome tie it, but he's just a little off right now.

Thome is getting pretty long in his swing this week.

I'm not worried yet, considering what he did against Baltimore.

Prediction for AJP: warning track power

5 feet from the warning track...he swung at that like he had 2 strikes on him.

bummer

I hope you're happy.

 

I was expecting a multiple "stretch" one though.

Tigers game heading into the 9th

Carrasco in for 7th

 

Nice job by the kid tonight.

When AJ is going gap to gap, he is deadly. When he thinks he is a power hitter. He has issues.

 

 

Might be Torres final line..
