WTF who is running this team? Players running home with no chance, people out of position, and basic shit being missed. it never ends, and the lineups are a joke. I didn't say fire Leyland, but whomever makes these piss poor decisions every game needs a new job.

I like Scherzer's approach tonight. He's given up some rockets, the score is tied 3-3 in the third, but he's competing and going right after the Red Sox.
Avila banged up again and has to leave the game. Drats. I've never seen a catcher get abused as much behind the plate as Avila. Every game it seems he gets plunked hard somewhere.

If anything happens to Laird, Jimmy L may be forced to go with Gene Lamont behind the dish. I've been a fan of Gene's since the Tigers called him up in 1970 to back-up Bill Freehan. Not sure but Gene's arrival may have spelled the end of Jim Price's days as Freehan's back-up.

PH/PR/ Defensive replacement
PH/PR/ Defensive replacement
He is going to come back to earth. His glove and speed will be useful, as well as the fact that he actually can lay down a bunt. It will be tough to find him ABs in the OF though. He should be staying here for a while hopefully.

I don't think Berry is an everyday player at this point. It is a long season and he is not the biggest strongest guy around.
If Berry gets on base at anywhere near the percentage of any of the corner OF's, he will play.

Would make Leyland think twice. Combine that with his loyalty to his players i would think it is hard for him to break into it with AJ back. I also simply don't see him keeping up his OBP with his K rate.

This team needs a lefty specialist, a right handed bat, and depending on Fister maybe another starter, so we'll see what happens.

As doomy and gloomy as i have been and critical of Leyland, this does end a long ass road trip. Still don't think it should be this bad, but it could be worse, and can easily get better. Doesn't mean that this scuffling is ok though. Still gotta play better.
