This will about do it for me.

Pull his ass don't pull an ozzie

I suspect this will be the last game Hector closes for awhile

Screwball not screwing.

 

Or is it? Hmm, wordplay

Santiago has given up 9 hits. 4 HR.

If Santiago gets Reddick, we'd still be winning. So yes, it was a huge part of the inning.

I was being completely honest.

 

I agree...Cespedes cannot beat you if you just get Reddick.

It just makes very little sense to have your 4th or 5th best reliever being your closer.

We all knew Reed would be the eventual closer of this team, but it might be sooner than we all thought.

That sucked big time.

Bloop single down the LF line. The horror in Oakland returns.

Thanks to Balta for jinxing the win, lol.

 

 

That's just an awful, awful loss.

Nice meltdown by Santiago...he better not be closing again

lulz.

Wow. What a kick in the nuts this game was......

Wow. What a kick in the nuts this game was......

 

Don't worry, Tigers are losing 1-0 in the first

......... I knew it would happen it's karma

On the plus side, our pitching has been unreal outside of the blown save. Starting pitching is exceptional.

Yeah...sure does...

 

I just don't want to put Reed there because I like him in his role now...he probably comes in in higher leverage situations now than he would if he was the closer.

I will lose respect for Robin if Santiago is the one player he decides to knee jerk out of his role.

 

There's an argument to be made about whether he should have started there, but he saved 4 in a row and you can't pull players just like that. It'll ruin the clubhouse.

Its Oakland, you should be used to it.

On the plus side, our pitching has been unreal outside of the blown save. Starting pitching is exceptional.

 

Yep, Jones looking like an asset in the bullpen. As soon as Crain is healthy, I expect Reed to be closing.

I feel sick now.

Santiago to AAA tonight. They have lost 2 games with 2 run leads with this guy already!

Hurts...gotta shake it off.

 

Seriously. It's one game. still 10-8. Still a 4-2 roadtrip. All is not lost.

 

Get em' tomorrow.
