Nick brought his cast iron glove with him to the park yesterday, and kicked away two consecutive double play grounders, for three errors total (he should have had 4, on a ball that was somehow ruled a single). After the game Omar Vizquel consoled him: the great Vizquel himself had a game with 3 errors in which he cost the Indians 7 unearned runs. Yikes. Bad days happen (although it would be nice if Nick could be a little more Vizquel-like on his good days).
Alex Wilson took the loss, unfairly, after giving up only the 2 unearned runs and working his way out of the situation. Jimenez gave up another bomb and isn’t impressing anyone yet.
Today’s Lettucey Lineup:

Pitching: Michael Fulmer vs Derek Holland
Let’s hope the team comes to bat today as I don’t want to go below .500. Good to hear and see Ramon today. He always waved to us when he came on the field for warmup. A good ballplayer!
The entire Tiger Offense goes in the tank.. Way too often.. Bullpen is one thing.. Brad us another…. But the Offense tanks for a good period of time way too often!
I’m sorry but the chatter between Mario and Gibby tends to drives me nuts. I’m going to have to get a radio and listen to their feed and mute the TV when Gibby is in the booth.
That’s what I do….Dan and Jim are great.
Looks like K-Rod on the mound, now let’s walk it off!
All of a sudden, JWillie looks like ASanchez.
…so much for the valiant 9th inning comeback
ironically, JWilson was about the only reliable relief pitcher in the DET bullpen – guess it must be contagious
Seems like it may be a very long season. Another decent start wasted.
It’s a long season.
And we’re not very good. Neither is anyone else in our division.
Tigers scored a whole 4 runs, wasted in the loss.. That means no more than 1 or 2 Sunday… Too much effort required, no leadership to get kicked in the behind to get it done. Brad will whine! “that’s baseball”
