Comments on: Game 123: Rangers at Tigers http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/game-123-rangers-at-tigers/ News, views, and analysis on the Detroit Tigers and baseball Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:06:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Andrew http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/game-123-rangers-at-tigers/#comment-10515 Andrew Sun, 20 Aug 2006 12:02:01 +0000 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2006/08/game-123-rangers-at-tigers/#comment-10515 I remember posting here a month or two ago about the seriousness of the Tigers' high strikeout numbers and low walk numbers. Someone said they didn't think that striking out a lot and not walking didn't mean a lot in terms of wins and losses. Hmm, maybe now they will. The Tigers' offense is struggling rather badly right now and the ability to get some walks to manufacture a run or two would be the difference in some of these games they have lost. Lets go out and at least get the series split this afternoon. We need a pick me up before facing the dreaded White Sox this week. Man, I would love to see us just beat on the Sox this week. We need to take out some frustrations on 'em. I remember posting here a month or two ago about the seriousness of the Tigers’ high strikeout numbers and low walk numbers.

Our success was long enough that the guys truly believe in themselves and we still have well over a month left to hit our stride again.

Tigers have one of three working during their toughest month, and perhaps most critical. Yankees are looking brilliant for snagging Abreu. Dang. Hitting, coaching, pitching, defense.

Another wasted pitching effort and we've now allowed BOTH Chicago and Minnesota to gain a game on us. Also, I'm really impressed with Thames' Pedro Cerano immitation there in the 9th.

Did you see that catch by Robertson?!! WOW! Let's hope he sparks something for the offense now. HOLY CARP! Did you see that catch by Robertson?!! WOW!
