OT: Michigan Sports Talk Part VI: Oh Look, it's Tiger Bullpen Implosion Time Again!

[Shoalzie]

Nice win last night...J-Up is warming up at the right time.

 

[Konnan511]

Boston and Baltimore need to start losing while we are in a hot streak.

 

[Shoalzie]

Baltimore is vulnerable. Their starting pitching stinks.

 

[RabidBadger]

Boston and Baltimore need to start losing while we are in a hot streak.

Screw the wild card. Let's take care of business against Cleveland and win the division! Nothing would be sweeter than to see Cleveland fans have their hopes crushed.

 

[Shoalzie]

J-Up!

Nice 2 of 3...

 

[RabidBadger]

A former Tigers reliever blows it for KC today. How poetic.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

College football is going to be crazy this year

Nfl is so bad compared to this

And another former Tigers reliever blows it against the Indians!

There are rump weekends in college football every season. We were given a lot of really good non-con matchups this weekend. I think the new playoff system allows power 5 teams the freedom to schedule some tougher non-con opponents because winning the conference and conference championship games are vital. You can risk losing a non-con game if you can still win your conference.

 

[InjuredChoker]

whatever the reason for packers cutting sitton was, whether it was awful move or just something that had to be done, it certainly made them weaker for this season. very un-ted thompson like move.

bears got a lot stronger but they are still bears. secondary and dline aren't that good, same thing with OTs.

 

[Shoalzie]

The Bears suck...the Leos better not finish last.

 

[Shoalzie]

J-Up! J-Up! J-Up!

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The Bears suck...the Leos better not finish last.

They got rid of every good player they have besides cutler

Wellll you know what I mean

 

[Vladdy84]

The Bears suck...the Leos better not finish last.

The Bears have a better roster than the Lions.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The Bears have a better roster than the Lions.

Not really.

 

[Ricelund]

This ****ing bullpen...

 

[RabidBadger]

This ****ing bullpen...

No $***, man. This is disgraceful. Aside from K-rod they've all struggled to acheive mediocrity. It's a shame Pelfrey is out (hard to fathom for some) because Sanchez at least was effective as middle relief. I want to see Romine on the bump before I see Shane Greene again...hell, put Paws out there.

 

[Shoalzie]

The pen implodes every so often...just keep it to a minimum down the stretch. It's too close of a race to give games away.

Huge series with Baltimore this weekend.

Friday: Gausman vs. Fulmer
Saturday: Jimenez vs. Zimmermann
Sunday: Tillman vs. Verlander

 

[Ricelund]

I have a feeling Showalter is going to abuse Ausmus this series.

I wonder which Zimmermann we'll get. It's amazing that they're in the thick of the race considering they've gotten almost nothing from Zimmermann and Upton for most of the season.

 

[Winger98]

Ausmus isn't a managerial genius, but he's improved over last year and has done a good job keeping this injury riddled club moving forward. Lately, it's been less about him going all WTF and more about his players letting him down.

I agree that he's improved but he still makes some bizarre decisions.

 

[Shoalzie]

20 wins for Ricky P...color me flabbergasted.

 

[Konnan511]

20 wins for Ricky P...color me flabbergasted.

He always had really good pitches, he was just inconsistent. He was also super young, though.

 

[Konnan511]

Amazing win by my Alma Mater! Fire up Chips!

 

[Ricelund]

Yeah, everyone seems to forget how young he was when he started.
