[glenn57]

Some key hits late by Polanco, Kepler, & Sano for RBI's leading to a badly needed W. Shoemaker had a good start but Stashak struggled in his inning, the rest of the bullpen was good though. Berrios goes today, 3:10 1st pitch.

Good to see some of the bats waking up. Although it's hard to say how awake they are. Texas & Detroit aren't exactly loaded with HOF pitchers. They need Kiriloff back and to be swinging, they need Arraez's hustle. They need to park the fat kid on the bench. Most of all they need to trust the starters. Quit taking them out in the 5th with 70 pitches and they get in a bit of trouble. These starters need to get to 100 pitches to save the bullpen.

[Gunner55]

Hard to watch yday as Berrios struggled. He went 6 but needed 104 pitches to do it. Their bats, only 1-14 with RISP, along with a bullpen that gave up 5 of the 7 runs, let 'em down badly.

[dutchboy]

Berrios is just another in a long line of prospects we have waited to arrive. He is either fairly good or bad, not much in between. Yesterday he walks 5 and doesn't strike out anybody (or maybe 1?) and like Gunner said needed 104 pitches to get through 6. Not good.

Open auditions should be held to find local pitchers who can do what some of these guys are doing.

Oh well, will they flop again on Mothers Day or look like a pennant contender? I guess thats why we watch.   

[Gunner55]

Heard it again yday, the bullpen is the worst in the league with letting inherited runners score. I think the bats will come around but if they can't get something figured out in the bullpen it will be a long season.

Meh.... If I wanna watch good baseball, I'll go to the park 2 blocks from the house. Perennial state tourney class B hometown team.

[Gunner55]

 SEE YA!!!

Why is the game postponed today?   Covid?

[dutchboy]

All day rain in Detroit.

[Gunner55]

  Thought I heard 'em say that it's already been rescheduled as a part of a double header on 7/16.
