Very nice Red Sox Nation information. I hope to be in Beantown for a game this summer.

[...] And there was much losing and a lack of highlights [...]

I randomly found this entry when I was searching MLB gameday highlights on Google and just had to laugh. I work on the front lines at mlb.com and some of us find ourselves struggling to produce highlights for some games. We are under instructions to get anywhere from 4-8 offensive or defensive highlights per team each game. With the Tigers playing like they have been this season, it can be a challenge to get some good “highlight” plays. But still, it’s funny that this person picked a single, because generally if it is a slow game, after the 5th inning, we are supposed to mark any extra base hit, not singles.

I just read this blog of some guy out east and he wrote this stupid poem about us stinking, it’s on thing for us to pick on our team, but some east coast yankee or sox fan, no way is that cool. Here is the blog…

And on the replay, it seemed to me that Sheffield was out at first. So now even the UMPs are giving the Tigers some pity calls.

I also think that the Sheffield single was more of a Pedroia highlight — he almost threw Sheffield out from the outfield.

In keeping with the “lowlights” theme . . .

On tigers.com, where there is the automatic video that starts playing when the page is loaded and usually shows the top 2 previous “highlights” from the game before — is still showing the Ramon Santiago failed triple attempt from Sunday night. How’s that for slim pickings!

I’m a big Gameday fan, it’s the only way I can “watch” at work and the new video highlight feature is a great upgrade this year. I even find myself turning it on at home while I’m watching on TV to get a read on the pitch selection and velocities. It’s a fun application.

The video highlights for the Tigers have been pretty slim every game so far, this one was really funny!

Haha, nice find Bill.

Quick question: Are you finding the velocity readings to be off a bit on the gameday?

I have lay a lot of the responsibility on this lack of production at Leyland’s feet. I know he isn’t making all these outs, errors and bad pitches, but he as Manager, had to in preperation for the season get this team ready to play. He needed to get these guys ready to deal with the expectations. So far I would say he hasn’t done his job. I will also make this observation, He looked shell shocked in the dugout today. He above all doesn’t seem prepared. I see no chemistry so far.

I also think the whole Guillen to 1st is proving a disaster thus far. He is out of position on every play. Didn’t anyone see this during spring training?

Thank you! I really needed a laugh, and the title and image combination accomplished that.

It would have been more appropriate for Sheffield to be thrown out, considering this week’s team performance. Nevertheless, it reminded me of Sean Casey and his equal inability to “run it out” when losing sight of the ball.
