* Why is VanMeter in the group with Hayes and Reynolds who are basically penciled in every day. WHY?



* Yoshi is batting .194 but at least he's combining that with his inability to play defense.



* Tucker is hitting .152.



* VanMeter .171.



* Knapp .167



I mean this lineup is WRETCHED.



Hopefully the 2nd game will include Chavis, Castillo and Perez. They are not all-stars by any means, but they have at least been "competent" so far.






If the goal is to catch the Reds in the standings, Shelton just has to play these guys.
Solid three innings for Peters- has been a pleasant surprise

I imagine Newman is hurt. Why else would Tucker be playing at short. Another error today

He needs to shave that head bald, he is always messing with his hair like a girl.

Time for him to get mean looking and change something, anything up. :-?

It looks like Shelty is mailing in the 1st game loss.   :( :( :(
I notice when the players meet at the mound with the pitching coach Yoshi's interpreter is not there. Wonder if he knows what the hell they are talking about :D

This game was lost the moment the lineup was set. But I guess no one cares less than Shelton. They got 2 runs and those were on 1 swing. Every other swing from this noncompetitive lineup resulted in 0 runs. What a shame because they got good pitching. But 3 errors gave the tigers 3 runs and that weas enough. As usual, Shelton wasn't trying to win. Worst manager I've ever seen. :(

Yep- 3-2 loss and all Detroits runs were unearned. Is this the last year of Shelton's contract?

I watch other games. No one gets days off like the Pirate players. Example- Harper, Hoskins, Realmuto, Goldschmidt,

Arenado, Molina (42ys.old) Lorenzo Caine, Adames

Betts,Freeman, Justin Turner Trea Turner, Brandon Crawford. Obviously there are many more who are in lineup almost everyday' I didn't even mention the American League. Just doesn't make sense what Shelton does
