Game 2015.153-155: Twins at Tigers

It’s the home stretch, and the last home series. 9 left to go. The Twins can stay alive for a wild card with a sweep. The next series, at Texas, could be very big…for Texas. There is a game 162 that will not be played this season.

It would be nice to see JD make it to #40.

Jim Leyland with some nice words about Yogi Berra.

      Yeah, flipping underhand from that far away pretty poor decision.

    On THEIR team, even slugging Mauer bunts the runner over.

    Welcome to Tiger baseball, where we get the hits, and you get the runs.

    Why take Boyd out? Has he got a tired arm?

    Minn doesn’t need any hits just hit a ground ball to a Tiger.

    Hey McCann nice at bat. He threw you 3 outside strikes which you easily could bounce a ground ball to second to move the winning runner over……oh! Thats right the Tigers don’t believe in that…….my bad!!!!..Leyland and Ausmus say that’s a wasted out!

      Been Tigers’ dilemma thru 2 regimes now = stubborn unwillingness to play any small ball, even when trying it is a “no-brainer” —-(to use Leyland’s own term).

    OK, so Nefty comes thru again. Still, not enough success rate for me to be sold quite yet…

    Boyd looked like gold tonite. Why wasn’t he given the 7th, & possibly 8th?

    Watching Astros/Rangers…Astros with Tiger-level bad baserunning, runner on 2md, he goes for 3rd on sharp grounder to short.
