Big test for Jeanmar today. Clean slate starting June. May was ugly, get past it.

He's gotta be better against the Central. 6.42 ERA within the division this year doesn't cut it. 5.20 career. Mostly because the Twins suck.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:43 pm

The plus side if Gomez has a rocky start, is that we've had our successes against Scherzer (almost 5 runs per 9 innings when he pitches against us)

We won the toughest game in the series, for us, last night so I'd hope we can complete a sweep.

Choo with a drive to deep medium right haha.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:13 pm

Brants you beeeeeeast way to go

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:14 pm

Brants Blast!!!

Thank you Boesch!!!

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:14 pm

Wow, Mike Brantley teeing off.

Nice catch Boesch.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:15 pm

My boy Brants proving the haters, who call him nothing but a 4th Of, wrong.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:30 pm

Johnny "Gold Glove" Damon!!

hahaha

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:30 pm

Damn earns back his D for that theft

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:30 pm

Golden Glover Johnny Damon!

by **bookelly** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:32 pm

Tribe flashing some leather. Wow.

by **OldDawg** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:32 pm

TV commentator on Damon's catch...

Damon, not known for his defense over the years...

OK, so he's not supposed to be good on D.
He's got a noodle arm.
And he's batting 0.178.

Help me out here...

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:33 pm

Helluva play by AC too for out #2.

Can you believe AC's play last night only made #2 on ESPNs Web Gems last night?! Ian Desmond with another barehanded play somehow got 1st.

Desmond was charging it, but AC was going back in the hole...... AC got robbed!!

by **TouchEmAllTime** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:34 pm

Alex Mack doesn't seem too charismatic in that Great Clips commercial.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:46 pm

Right in the wheel-house

bad pitch

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:57 pm

CK!!!! Laser

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:57 pm

Casey Kotchman with a blast..... sign of the apocalypse?!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:05 pm

How the hell did Cabrera hit that one out?

Looked to be up and away..... just a great hitter!

Thought for sure for a minute that Damon messed things up by taking second and giving Scherzer a base open for the Kotchman free pass.

Loved those two plays, but Forsythe with San Diego might have had the play of the night. The dive and then long throw to 3B. Incredible.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:17 pm

Yeah bois!!!! Keep on rolling 6-2

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:19 pm

Nice "bunt" Carlos..... gotta add on here Brants.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:20 pm

Hmmmmm..... an IBB in the 5th inning?? Over managing??

It's Damon time!

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:20 pm

Damon will hit an inside-the-park grand slam.

by **bookelly** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:22 pm

Damon with a hit!!! Holy shit!

by **Jumbo** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:22 pm

Great to pile on against the kitties.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:22 pm

Nice swing Johnny!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:22 pm

Hit the showers Scherzer

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:22 pm

Way to overmanage, Leyland. Loser. Go smoke another carton.

Good swing from Damon.

Did they move the fence up to the cut of the grass?

Time to give up on Matt LaPorta.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:26 pm

Really tested the reliever there - when he's come into a tough situation - lads.

Get that Goedert scamp up here

he's a masher

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:33 pm

Come on Gomez.... don't let them back in.... we're bound too be held scoreless by the lefty out of the pen.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:35 pm

Jeanmar Gomez isn't very good.

No out pitch. Sinker's flat more often than it moves.

Not very good.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:36 pm

That's 3 straight starts with at least 5ER for Gomez..... looks like the scouting report is well and truly out for Jeanmar.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:37 pm

Fuckin' hell Jeanmar..... just putrid!

Making me wish Carlos Carrasco didn't need TJS.

by **googleeph2** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:39 pm

Funny though, if he'd been less efficient/had a higher pitch count/was in a closer game, Acta would have lifted him and we'd be feeling a lot better about him.
Getting thru the first several innings with low scoring is at least something. I like the guy.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:40 pm

So Leyland goes to a RHP.

Guy's really managing this game weird.

by **googleeph2** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:41 pm

When does Carrasco return to the majors? I know yr 1 will be glorified rehab, but just wondering.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:42 pm

Earliest would be early September, I think.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:42 pm

Suddenly the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona doesn't look like a bad option for this rotation.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:44 pm

Way to answer right away.

That's on Leyland. Stupid to bring out a RHP.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:44 pm

AC drives in another..... this game is gonna be a wild one!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:49 pm

I know Gomez is only at 66 pitches but, you've gotta go to the pen here in the 6th - even if it is Gas Can Sipp

Sigh.

Like going from gonorrhea to genital warts.

by **Pabo** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:51 pm

Sippy cup is in. I'm out.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:55 pm

I hate to get ahead of myself but, as things stand, the Tigers would end the night in 4th place!!
