D-Train not on track, Tigers drop another interleague series
The last few years, the Tigers have been fantastic in interleague games, but they lost 2 of 3 to Colorado at Comerica Park a few weeks ago and now they lost 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh. Dontrelle was just not good, again and the offense seems to have gone on summer vacation along with our children.
Dontrelle's line is really bad:
3.2 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 8 BB, 1 SO
8 walks in 3 2/3 inning! Horrible. It is getting to the point now, where they are almost guaranteed 2 straight losses when it is Armando and Dontrelle's turn in the rotation. I think Leyland and DD need to do something before the next time around. This cannot continue. Either Zach or Nate (or both) get a start instead of these guys or they need to bring up somebody or make a trade happen quickly (unlikely).
I can't think of a time when the top 3 in a rotation were so good and the bottom two so bad. Justin, Edwin and Rick are consistently pitching out of their minds, while Armando and Dontrelle continue to drive us crazy.
Next up, day off on Monday followed by a series in St Louis. I expect a series win with JV, EJ and RP pitching.

Like I said offline, with the lack of offense and uselessness of Dontrelle on the mound, it’s time to send him out to the bullpen and when he gets about 15 feet short of the gate, tell him to turn around and play left field.
ReplyDeleteD-Train did not look good at the plate today, either. Porcello looked very comfortable when batting yesterday however.
ReplyDeleteCannot believe they are so strong at the top of the rotation and so bad at the bottom. Plus, I am worried about RP hitting the proverbial wall at some point. I think they need another arm.
Hey - he only had 1 AB. Anyone can look foolish one time. I just hope they try him out as a position player before they cut him. They're going to have to pay him anyway.
ReplyDeleteIs Glavine available? I wonder if he has anything left. I heard Pedro might also be had.
