C'mon Scherzer, pitch the damn ball!
All Detroit pitchers are like this now. They think they're in the AL East or something.
Flowers is the kind of guy where before the pitch, regardless of where it is, he decides whether he'll swing or not. His swing is nice, so if he makes contact- a single! If he doesn't, like on that 1-1 pitch, he looks like an idiot.

What would Sale's ERA be if he came out an inning earlier against the Angels? 0.08?
Right now, would be about 1.28

He adjusts to the adjustments made by pitchers
It seems like whenever there's a slider low and away, he's whiffing. I don't think he's adjusted to that particular pitch and location.

Scherzer is listening to the scouting report. Everything to Abreu was low, either under the strike zone or off the plate.
I don't get how Jose's hitting .268 when there's a perfect blueprint on how to get him to strike out.

Good play by Beckham but why did he lob the ball to 1st? That was a close play
I think he misjudged Martinez's speed, or just overestimated the time he had.
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 07:20 PM)
He did.
Oops, you're right. But, it was the fourteenth pitch of the ballgame, technically. (wasn't trying to be smart, just thought it was 2nd pitch @ 1st comment)
