Well at least we can celebrate Joe still having Walker batting fourth. That's all we needed to get him going again was dumb Joe to get him in the cleanup spot! He's been better in the four but him sucking right now has little to do with where Joe has him hitting.
Also, Jake Meyers got some pitching work in. He should be ready to close pretty soon if Hader is gassed.
3-2 last 5 games with both losses in Brown-Arighetti starts. Funny how that worked. Spencer might need to be skipped a start. No biggie.... WIN the series tomorrow.
Arrighetti has returned to suck mode. Didn't he once go 6-1 then ended losing the rest of his starts in 2024?
That was hilarious watching Jake pitch tonight. He looked like he was barely tossing it, like he was throwing to kids in little league batting practice. Those first 3 pitches cracked me up. Even funnier was that nobody got a hit off him.
Arrighetti crashing back to earth was extremely predictable if you paid any attention to the underlying numbers. Hopefully Imai can maintain his recent good work to at least give us 3 consistently solid starters. Tough to win scoring zero runs.
Well it was BP as I predicted but only for tigers. Hits only 6-5 to Tigers but walks 7-2. Felt like Espada special. We have had some results and Joe is going pregame guy to guy complementing everyone and telling how great team is and no need to compete tonight and it's 162 and as to underline it switches cow eyed Diaz to catch. Even the worse teams put up quite a win streaks when they are going good and really focusing to keep it up "one more guys". For us it feels like we mentally quit well before anybody even starts writing headlines about putting streak together. This surge is still build on pitching little better and Mariners sucking. That can't be 162 plan. If anybody would look at boxscore without seeing the game they would ask how was the Astros SP in the game still to give up 8 runs, that's like not contending Colorado line. Next up Framber who has allowed 1ER in 2 last starts. We have Teng spinning that frisbee against all the worlds lefties. Im just mad at myself, got way too excited after yesterday's win dreaming of starting the 10ish win streak finally(and putting pressure on Seattle) and right away when this game started it felt clear that everybody's flat AF like pouting children pissed about their fate of being in a sh*thole like Detroit.
