McHugh coming right after them. All first pitch strikes

Kinsler Ks
Iglesias flied out
Cabrera single
Victor Martinez flied out

pots · « **Reply #4 on:** August 15, 2015, 06:33:23 pm »

Altuve singles then is picked off
Tucker Ks (the 2 hole has not been kind)
Correa Walks (apparently the Tigers want nothing to do with him)
Lowrie hot shot at Martinez but he makes the play

0-0 after 1

Edit. memory served poorly there. Tucker has hit well batting second. Just not recently

pots · « **Reply #5 on:** August 15, 2015, 06:42:33 pm »

JD gounds out
Collins flared a single to right
Castellanos force out, too slow for a double play but close
McCann force out (glove flip from Correa)

0-0 Middle of 2

Though the frequency has slowed down remarkably, Verlander is always a threat to pitch a great game.

It is tough when someone you don't like is on a team you do like. I have never been a Blum fan, I remember when he was playing in the ABL the swag and cockiness annoyed the hell out me. I warmed to him a little over the years... but only a little.

Not me. I'd sit him down; tell him to quit dicking around; he's not some rookie with no track record who needs to prove himself; he's a veteran with a long track record; no go out and just be you.
