2020-09-01: Tigers (Fulmer) at Brewers (Lindblom) [Brewers lose, 12-1]

[markedman5]

So close to getting out of it. Gameday has that pitch to Reyes well off the plate. Or was it closer than that?

 

It was a good piece of hitting......just went with a pitch outside and drove it to right.

[yourout]

throws a little like Yardley

Kind of a side-armer?

 

Yep, not to the extent of Yardley but funky delivery. Having a hard time pitching inside to righties obviously....

 

Even with a funky delivery if 90 is your top end you are not going to be around long.

[mtrebs]

Bickford doesn’t look like a big league pitcher.

 

I’m guessing he’d do just fine against our lineup.

 

Edit: Then again, our lineup doesn’t look like a big league lineup, so there’s that.

[wildcat83]

Oddly the scouting report also said he’s successful at 3/4 delivery and struggles at times when he drops below that, and he’s definitely below that tonight.

[markedman5]

You wait your whole life to pitch in the majors and then hit 2 guys throw a wild pitch and then get lite up for 4 runs.........welcome to the bigs....

[LouisEly]

Typically the Brewers haven't played rookies making their debut the day they call them up - they usually let them sit on the bench for a day or two to absorb it and get a little acclimated. Hopefully this is an example of why.

Only one way to go from there... up! Either in results, or physically... to Appleton..,

Unless your Dan Quisenberry or Kent Tekulve......and few are.

We have something to look forward to still this season:

[markedman5]

And if it wasn’t bad enough for Bickford

The end of the season? That is something to look forward to.

[yourout]

And if it wasn’t bad enough for Bickford

 

 

It really sounded awful.

[Jopal78]

Will Smith trade pretty much a total bust. A catcher who’s long gone and a soft tossing relief pitcher with command issues

[folly412]

And if it wasn’t bad enough for Bickford

 

 

Really sucks. It looked it when they got the glove off.

[markedman5]

I miss Hernan at times like this......

Really sucks. It looked it when they got the glove off.

Awful news for the Tigers. JaCoby Jones was having a very good year offensively.

[markedman5]

Like I said early in the thread.......I can’t believe the Brewers were a -200 favorite in this game.......

It really sounded awful.

 

Yea, there was no doubt. They zoomed in when the trainer moved it and the whole outside of his hand looked like jello. I thought multiple bones on the outside of the hand had to be broke.

[Bulldogboy]

Davey Lopes thinks this team is not very good. Not a good look for baseball that this could be a playoff team.

I will be very surprised if they end up being one.

[markedman5]

You have to respect the honesty

 

Josh Lindblom: "To be frank, I thought I sucked tonight. I don't know if I was ahead in the count the entire night."

He ain't lying

He was, but has fallen off a cliff the past couple of weeks, I mean straight off the cliff...
