OT: Tigers Impending Beatdown at Hands of A's

Submitted by MGoBender on

The Tigers are clearly going to get beat tonight against the A's.

Max Scherzer will be lucky to go 5 innings on his bum ankle.

Jim Leyland is putting strikeout machine Quentin Berry in the 2-spot.

The Tigers have 1 (!!!) RBI this series and clearly are a pathetic offense.

Jim Leyland doesn't bunt nearly enough. And don't give me "statistically he bunts more than most managers." When I played high school baseball, you always bunted the runner over to second, always. THAT'S THE WAY THE GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED.

Also, Jim Leyland will obviously either let Scherzer go too long in the game or will not let him go more than 110 pitches and either way it will be the wrong decision because OBVIOUSLY.

Also, the A's fans kick the Tiger's fans asses in terms of sign-making ability. This clearly has an effect on the field.

EDIT:

/s

I thought the sign comment made the /s redundant. Here's the translation for my quick thoughts on the game:

We need a big night out of Scherzer and I think he'll deliver.

I like that Berry is in and he's in the 2-spot. Even though I strongly dislike bunting, I think that if Jackson gets on, we'll see a sacrifice early. Get someone into scoring position and force them to either walk Cabrera or put two on base for Fielder. Otherwise: BOO BUNTING.

Also, reverse jinx, obvs.

Tom, I'm with you man. This is the most overrated, underperforming, lazy, fat, ugly, dumb, cheating bunch of scallywags. They don't deserve the shoelaces in their cleats, much less a win tonight. Abandon all hope, ye who cheer for the Tigers.

He physically can't bunt. I think Peralta was asked to bunt once this year (maybe it was last year) and it was one of the most pathetic looking things I've seen recently in baseball.

I will not be sad to see Jhonny go. He is no longer my Jhomeboy.
