    Re: 8/20 - 8/26 Game Discussion Thread

    What's really hurting the Tigers right now is basically the bottom half of the lineup. Guys like Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila, Brennan Boesch and Delmon Young have all been struggling at the same time for majority of this season, and they have just not gotten it done in most RBI situations. Lack of reliable production in the 5 hole (the batter after Prince Fielder) in particular has especially been a killer to this offense.

      There's going to be some interesting schedules next season with the new balanced schedule. The Phillies are opening the season at home against the Royals.

              I'm guessing this would free up money to go after a couple pitchers and make a push for Josh Hamilton.

                Nope, this is exactly the shakeup they need. The inmates have been running the asylum there for too long. When your players whine to the owners and take no ownership of their piss poor efforts on the field, it's time to make some changes.

                    Chris Davis is 3/3 with 3 HR tonight. His fourth plate appearance is coming in the next inning.

                      You know you're having a bad game when the only thing to look forward to is a player hitting for the cycle....for the other team.

                        3 HR game and a cycle, what a week for Adrian Beltre.

                          He literally beat the Blue Jays on his own.

                              They have almost lost the wild card. Something has to be done with the coaches on this team, but I don't see anything happening until the Braves are sold.

                              I don't want to watch the rest of the series.

                                The Braves need to get last year's collapse out of their heads.
