    He's my most enjoyable player to watch on this team. Quality consistent play

    Agreed...kinda surprised he is hitting below .280. Seems to smooth and smart to have slumps
  • Con_Alma
    It's really only bourne and kipnis hitting any higher than Brantley.

    ...Maybe raburn is in the mix there too.

    Just had that 0/14 stretch. I was glad it was versus the Marlins, cause he usually bounces back with a .500 series after a cold stretch. Hopefully he does that these 4 games!

    The boys came to play some defense tonight. Defense, pitching, and timely hitting is a good recipe.

    Anybody hear the attendance? Could be more there but it is a Monday night I guess.
  • wes_mantooth
    Kluber coming out for the 8th? Closing in on a hundred pitches

    How did they get the error? They really need to cut down on those in this season ending run.

    It was a double for Cabrera down the line, but because he is limping, he was stopping at 1st. Stubbs didnt know that and tried to barehand it and it took a really weird ricochet off the 2 corner walls and Miguel then went to 2nd. Not the typical error we have seen recently.

    Yes, no question. But have Smith ready with the sinker if we need the double play ball.
  • Con_Alma
    ahhhh yes, I didnt know they ruled that a single and an error.
  • wes_mantooth
    Everyone having their "A" game so far...except for Underwood...shitty as usual

    Yeah, I dont agree with it either. He never touched the ball. Its like the dive that turns into a triple...not sure why this is any different, honestly.

    Especially since Stubbs was rightfully playing it like a double. If he comes up with the barehand, he has a shot at 2nd (in his mind, Cabby is running like normal).
  • Dan Gilbert
    Kipnis brought his D tonight.

    More shittyness on that Kipnis play lol. This game is too big for Matty.
  • HitsRus

    Kluber with a solid outing.

    Smith coming on!
  • GOONx19
    Great start for Kluber. Who's coming in?

    I missed the beginning of Underwood saying it as Kluber left (he said that many were giving Kluber a standing O), but it's either 24K or 34K

    Smith, for hopefully a DP ball.

    Gotta be 34k. A good portion of the Upper Deck is full.
  • wes_mantooth
    Lots of weak hits for Detroit today...sucks
  • Laley23
    Fuck this could be bad. Bullshit swinging bunt.
  • Dan Gilbert
    Come on Smith!
  • royal_k
    Fucking dribbling hit with the big part of the line up due up. This is dangerous territry.
  • Laley23
    Just keep going inside on Hunter. I remember from the Carmona days how much he hates that shit lol.
