On the bright side, I didn’t lose $55,000 tonight.

That makes two of us

I blame the new netting. Team has been in a funk since their inception

We were fucking in on the -600

That’s all I got to explain the last two innings on the bases

Then they really are dumb. It’d be more profitable to be in on the tigers at +451

Two stupid base running brain farts. Brantley could be at the plate with a runner on second. WTF? Stretching  for 3rd with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th?

What a shitty loss. Verlander needs to chew out Tuve and Chirinos for that shit. 

Just an embarrassment. No excuse for that laydown. 

Edited by Gut Wagon

Can any of you guys explain what the fuck just happened? Maybe Verlander should just sit the next one out

Wow.  We are in a funk.  Stupid shit.  

Just won three in a row.  

He pitched nine innings and didn’t throw one pitch from the stretch. And lost.

That trying for the cycle was some selfish ass bullshit

They didn’t have a good shot of Pettis the entire play but just as chirinos started his slide it looked like he still had his hands up for the stop sign as a form of “what the fuck are doing “ protest. Otherwise he would have been waving his arms towards home plate to get chirinos to slide to the inside of the bag with the throw coming in on the outside (not that it mattered. Doesn’t matter where you slide when the throw beats you by 3 steps.)

Altuve takes the bat out of Yordan's hands

Chrinos takes the bat out of Uncle Mike's hands

Stupid and selfish baseball

Does that mean the Astros hitters should have chewed him out for his 4 earned runs two starts ago?

It might be the maddest I’ve been since the choke job in Cleveland last year.

This right here.  I mean what in the world were they thinking?

Over heard just now : how can you bench a guy on his bobble head day ???

Maddest I’ve been after a game in a long, long time.

I have to go back all the way to Sunday, August 11, 2019 to match the anger I feel after tonight’s game

nice little night for the mgm sports book apparently

Hinch taking the bat out of Brantley’s hands the first 8 innings didn’t help either.

JV goes the distance on 2 hits and 0 walks and we lose.

Fuck that.

Apples and oranges. Stupid baserunning is not the same as a bad outing. The equivalent would be if I advocated JV chewing someone out after a golden sombrero, which I wouldn’t. 

I know he wants to pitch well into his 40s, but it ain't gonna be here with half his starts at mmp.

Move back to the DOME.

He will if they bring back the old ball.

And I’m not putting it past him to re-invent himself to pitch more like Greinke if he cant maintain high 90s for a few more years


It’s hard to pinpoint any one start where a guy wins or loses the cy young ...and say what you will about W-L records for SPs these days but 16-4 on August 21 looks a whole lot better than 15-5.

I like the reasoning, but I will agree to disagree

I hope Altuve chewed out Aaron Sanchez for throwing to second the other night rather than taking the easy out at first. 

There’s your equivalent on the other side. 

Ah, who am I kidding? I hope not a bad word has been spoken in that clubhouse (other than being pissed they lost) and that DJ Springer is keeping the boys loose. 

Hinch needs to get over himself and talk things out with Tucker. There is no reason for him to be in AAA while Reddick, Marisnick, and Straw waste ABs.

No offense , but I don’t care

I do care if Derek Fisher or Teoscar Hernandez hit a GW HR and/or Giles gets a save tonight.

Hinch and Tucker have beef?

Chirinos did his part.....except at the very end.

Is this a thing? I remember reading earlier in the season that there may have been some clubhouse tension with Tucker, but never saw anything substantive about it. 

I can't imagine it is something so big that it is impacting roster moves - right?

And if it's that big a deal, why didn't we seriously dangle the guy before the deadline? Not that we ended up having to...just asking. I'm inclined to think there's something else at work here, though I have no idea what. 

No word on the corresponding moves, but someone from the 40-man will have to go.

Have to think Deetz or Guduan will get DFA'd. I'd lean towards Guduan given his "behavioral issues."

Tucker hasn't come up because he hasn't hit all that well and the guy he would be replacing has better offensive projections than him and is a better fielder.

Toro has very good hitting stats in minors the since the AFL last year. Interesting to see how he does, being a switch hitter is helpful as well. At least it means no more Mayfield starting.

Should be starting at 3B tonight
