Looked like Anibal Sanchez tweaked something under his right arm. Warmup pitch doesn't look right. He's done.

good thing the tigers have so much pitching depth down on the farm. Ray time

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm blaming Lambskins new avatar for this slump

:taps foot:

<_<

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nice wake the #### up homer

 

[BobbyLayne]

Rookies smookies

ETA: That was almost as shocking as Raji's 9th HR earlier this year

 

[Raider Nation]

Okay Lambskin, we'll grant you a temporary reprieve.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Did not see that coming

Fun stat of the day: Kinsler hit .151 at Rogers last year, and his .174 career average is the worst of any park. 3-5 tonight.

That Turkish coffee you're drinking?

 

[BobbyLayne]

This team stinks, I'm sticking with that train of thought until they are 20 games above .500.

Greatest calls in the history of FBGs:

Finless: Tiger is done ('09 PLAYERS)

GM(?): Tony Romo is not a PTP

Judge Smails: Last place Dodgers are a 5 star mortal lock to win the division (soon after they went on the historic 42-8 run)

DD: ?

Kurd coffee ...cup of that joe, and you never back down.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Hopefully Anibal is only down with a pec strain and it has zero to do with his shoulder.

At the Orioles games tonight crowd went nuts when they found out Tigers scored three in the 9th to take the Jays. I gotta let's go Tigers chant going in the stands.

It's a tradition. He's just keeping it going.

 

[BobbyLayne]

FUJN

 

[BobbyLayne]

Mad Max - 106 superb pitches, 8.0/4/1/1/0/11

Sloppy Joe - 28 pitches, 0.1/2/1/1/2/0

Nice job by Soria to get the last 2 outs with the bases loaded

3-4-5 hitters last night: 1-12

Cabrerra - VMart - Torii today: 1-10, and couldn't get a ball out of the infield in the top of the 9th on 13 pitches

 

[tri-man 47]

######' Nathan. That cost Max a very well deserved win.

 

[Bojang0301]

It's time to just go to Soria. Nathan is done and if he's not let him work his #### out in middle relief instead of blowing games in the 9th.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Soria DET 6 G 4.1 IP 10 H 6 R 5 ER 10.38 ERA

 

[Da Guru]

7 base runners in the last 1 1/3 may lower Nathans WHIP.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nathan had good movement last night - 6 swinging strikes - but that was a long, sloppy outing.

Not sure what our rookie manager was thinking bringing him back out today.

Soria has had either 1 or 2 swinging strikes since we acquired him. I know you guys are sick of Nathan (we all are) but that's not the solution IMO.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Soria hurt

Joba now 1-5

Johnson looked horrible last night

Papelbon cleared waivers?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Max looked as good as you can look leaving the 8th. Pulling him for clueless joe was a total botch job.

 

[Koya]

FAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHCCCCCKKKK.

 

[Greco]

So ####### tiring.

 

[Gopher State]

######' Nathan. That cost Max a very well deserved win.

if Nathan keeps this up he end up costing Max a second cy young

 

[tri-man 47]

Max looked as good as you can look leaving the 8th. Pulling him for clueless joe was a total botch job.

I'm not a fan of overextending the starters ...but Max was at, what, 104 or 106 pitches? If nothing else, give him a shot at a quick out or two and narrow the odds of a reliever screwing up. I have to believe Max wanted to go back out.

 

[BobbyLayne]

@NeilWeinberg44: Joe Nathan needs to break his own hand at this point for the good of the team. Only way to get Ausmus to stop this.

Why?? Max is being paid 16 million and Max is not coming back so use him like a rental car.

That's a bingo!

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Sanchez and Soria both placed on DL. Sanchez reportedly out 3-4 weeks, Soria 2-3 weeks. Robbie Ray being called up Wednesday to start. No other players were mentioned.

 

[jon_mx]

I would bring Kevin Whelan up. He might not be a great closer, but he is having an awesome year for the Mud Hens.

 

[jon_mx]

i miss my papa..........

 

[BobbyLayne]

Tigers with no bench players left and a shortened bullpen today. Who's got the 12th?

 

[jon_mx]

Tigers are not going to have enough pitching to finish this game.

 

[jon_mx]

McCoy, i guess

 

[jon_mx]

Too bad Danny Worth is not around. He could get a decision.

 

[jon_mx]

At this point, you almost have to let Hardy keep pitching. Only 26 pitches, let him go to 40 pitches or so.

 

[Da Guru]

Nathan has got to man up and take the loss!

 

[Gopher State]

Nathan has got to man up and take the loss!

Time to let Joe get it done

 

[Gopher State]

McCoy with about 60 pitches wow

 

[jon_mx]

A game which should have been an easy W, now in the 17th with little chance to win.

 

[tri-man 47]

A game which should have been an easy W, now in the 17th with little chance to win.

Porcello not looking too comfortable with the first batters in the 17th. And yes ...should have been an easy win. First Coke, then Jobo. Then an inability to get runs home in the extra innings. Turrible!!!

eta: Use Kinsler with his knuckleball, if needed.

 

[BobbyLayne]

19th Inning

Stick Rick in left, bring in Kelly.

 

[Gopher State]

6 hours and 37 minutes with 19 innings both records for Blue Jays. I never dreamed the Tigers could lose back to back games when Max and Price started.
