What happened to McCann’s offense. He use to be really consistent. Now he just looks lost.

Should we be pitching to Ike? I’d go after Bay.

Wright will get alot of credit for this good start, but all of his hits today have been on meatballs right over the middle of the plate. The average blogger could have done pretty well with those offerings.

Tiger – they couldn’t blame it on anyone else so they put an asterisk beside the passed ball that said it was because McCann was not used to the hockey mask and it was the first time he’d ever caught Livan H.

At least let Livan H bat. He’s in the top 2 or 3 hitters on the team and one of the others is on the DL.

Has anyone seen Brian McCann? He has been missing since July 2011. NO not Georgie. You can’t steal first. He is fast, but speed doesn’t do any good. If you can’t get on base.

Here comes the heat, Parnell comes in and hits 91,92,93 on the gun to start the inning, Constanza who shouldn’t be on the roster in the pinch hit, Livan probably the better option.

It is really difficult to support Jose Constanza being on this ballclub as he offers nothing other than good speed, but he has to get on base to use that speed.
