to be fair he hasn't looked good all game, I was just hoping he'd work through it. Oh well, we need our offense to continue getting guys on and getting them in.

Q has a bizarre thing for trying to squeeze out extra outs when the starter is clearly done and out of gas. Is pulling him 1-2 batters early really changing our entire bullpen dynamic? No. The runs given up are far worse than putting in a reliever slightly early. This has backfired like 5 times in the last month.

I'll never understand people begging to go to this bullpen.

Damn. Just not Lugo's night.

Okie dokie, buckle up buckeroos! Bullpen time!

[PHOG]

Yeah, an unusual bad start by Lugo, but he leaves with the lead but won't qualify for the win. Long coming on. 5-4 Rs top of the 5th.

[Al Bundy]

Looked like early on Lugo was off, I was hoping the tigers were going to continue to miss.

Because the bullpen is in fact better than a pitcher who doesn't have it running on fumes? And how exactly does it make our bullpen better to wait until several runners are on before bringing them in? Would that make them better somehow?

Isbel with the triple! Leadoff even.

[chiefsfan987]

thank goodness for the bad throw... isbel was a sitting duck at 3rd

[KCUnited]

Bobby!

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

There we go! 200 hits baby!!! And another RBI!

[PHOG]

Infield hit, number 200 by Witt, and a 6-4 Rs lead!

You can't tell me Judge is more valuable to his team.

No they would still be bad.

Too close to overturn
