  1. Can not depend on others to win for us. Max pitched 7 mostly no hit inning but gave up 2 runs. Bauer didn’t pitch 6+ no hit inning but kept the Nats scoreless. When he gave up a one out double in the bottom of the seventh Francona brought in A. Miller who shut the rally down. He hasn’t learned from Brad about what innings you must use your closer in. I hope the Nats can come back to win it but I admire how Francona manages.

    actually Francona not managing tonight, Brad Mills the bench coach is – which is in keeping w/Tony’s assessment and this ESPN article ranking the MLB mgrs, Re DET’s skipper:

    http://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/17235632/which-mlb-skippers-do-well-no-1
    …Ausmus is listed at 26th in the league – and Schoenfield said he was ‘one of the worst’

  3. Maybin to the DL w/a Grade 2 thumb sprain

    DET has played just 25 games this year w/whole roster healthy

    1. I’m with some others here…4 days to figure out he has a Grade 2 sprain? It’s possible there is a training/medical clown show going on behind the scenes. Or not; but since it’s behind the scenes, one is left to speculate from the results.

  4. Does the rotating announcers drive anyone else nuts? I really like both Dan and Mario in their respective regular roles, but this rotating thing is unstable.

  5. Dan is my favorite as announcer, Mario is acceptable except when paired with Gibby who never shuts up and drives me nuts. My favorite for color announcer is Jack Morris.

  6. By the way, the constant chatter with guys in the camera well, stands and men’s room drives me crazy. I thought the idea behind TV was so we could see what was happening and not need constant chatter.

  7. Well, it never fails…. free baseball and it’s the middle of the night for some of you… I will hang in there but I do have a curfew and of course a late night appointment with Miss Heidi….

  8. Its 11:30 here in LA
    Lowe..2 shut out innings amazing..good pitches..tough slider!
    Bases loaded 14th..Iggy K’s
    Miggy pops out on a pitch on his shoe tops on first pitch
    Since the 5th the Pussycats haven’t done squat other that in that 14th

  9. 11:59 Krod blows another one…you know how his change up usually drops a lot…its as flat as can be and getting hammered!..Fastball not much better. Actually, just like he has been pitching lately. Still looks out of sync! ..ballgame!

  10. I did not see that coming! Jud was right, Krod not sharp ,and M’s are en fuego lately…

  11. Miggy..Victor. JD on 9 times followed by my boy JUp who went 0-7 continuing his second half race to his career numbers! Tigs put 21 runners on base scored 5…

    The West Coast jinx goes on and on and on and…….

  12. The next 11 games will likely ‘make’ or ‘break’ DET’s run for the AL Central: 1 @SEA, 3 @TEX, 3 KC, 4 BOS

    …all against good teams w/tough pitching matchups

    the ‘wild card’ option could remain viable until that last week of the season, but that ‘1 and done matchup’ does not bode will for DET – a team that has trouble manufacturing runs against good pitching

  13. Hey Brad if Greene and Mabin are out why are we playing with 23 players. Especially because you ran out of players last night!……..

  14. At the plate, it could be ‘6 of one, half dozen of another’ comparison between Romine & Aviles, but in the field, Romine is clearly the better choice for SS…maybe he’s injured too?
    1. 2B Ian Kinsler
    2. CF Tyler Collins
    3. 1B Miguel Cabrera
    4. DH Victor Martinez
    5. RF J.D. Martinez
    6. LF Justin Upton
    7. 3B Casey McGehee
    8. C James McCann
    9. SS Mike Aviles

  15. Sorry… Avilies at SS makes no sense what so ever…day off tomorrow, had a day off last thursday…I bet Avilies has played 2 games at SS in 5 years!..If lettuce is hurt we are playing with 22..hey Al you listening?..or Brad is this a give away game. Ask JV what he thinks about Aviles at SS!!!
