JSHoosier Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Please...for the love of the game...stop with the instant replay/umpire review. It is killing the game. I can't for the life of me understand the fascination with it. Over 162 games, it all evens out anyway. Beside, other than that crap in-field fly rule call a few years back in the Braves-Cards wild card game and the almost perfect game by that Tigers pitcher a few years back, most of the missed calls are forgotten. Do the fans a solid and get rid of it. I like having review, it's really not adding much time to the game and the umpires are getting the calls right this time. It's just baseball purists thinking any advancement is going to kill the game. Quote

Naturalhoosier Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 How stupid is this guy?

Damn man, I don't care that you're using pine tar, a lot of pitchers do stuff to doctor the ball, but be more discreet. On the neck right in the open? How stupid can you get? Although it does kind of make the Red Sox hypocrites because Bucholz pitches with 5 gallons of grease in his hair and an arm covered with sunscreen, you know he's doctoring the ball too. Quote
JSHoosier Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Mitch Williams being the voice of reason. I think that's a sign of the apocalypse. Quote
JSHoosier Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 God the Tigers' bullpen is a joke. Joba Chamberlain has that effect. Quote
IUfan_Charlie Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 The dude put it on his neck, I cannot believe it. Quote
JSHoosier Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 The dude put it on his neck, I cannot believe it. Yeah, it was pretty stupid. I don't care if he uses pine tar, pitchers have been doctoring the ball throughout history of the game, but as long as there's a rule against it he needs to be discreet. Put it in his glove or under the bill of his cap or something, not right out in the open. Quote

JSHoosier Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 AND HE GOT CAUGHT BY MEDIA LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO... I thought it was funny that 2 weeks ago the Red Sox didn't give a crap about a pitcher using pine tar, then go to Fenway and they're all over it. IUfan_Charlie 1 Quote

TheWatShot Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 The Tigers' league-worst bullpen (5.63 ERA) took a 10-1 sixth-inning lead tonight and managed to make it interesting late. Quote
JSHoosier Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Mike Trout isn't fair. The only thing keeping him from being the reincarnation of Mickey Mantle is the fact that he's not a switch hitter, and I'm still not unconvinced. He's only 22, general consensus is that a baseball players prime is mid 20s to early 30s so he's got a long time to be an absolute nightmare. It's a shame he's stuck on the Angels. Quote
JSHoosier Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Masahiro Tanaka is a friggin' beast. It's been an off night in terms of his control and he's still struck out 10 because his splitter is NASTY. Quote
TheWatShot Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The Tigers have now had 3 games rained out. Someone tell me again why MLB is hellbent on starting so early? Quote
TheStillman Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 The game will more than likely be rained out but Manny Machado is being activated from the DL today. The defensive maestro is back! Let's Go O's! Naturalhoosier 1 Quote
