    Correct
  2. UMFan83
    He took one into the 9th against the White Sox too

    Now that the perfect game is over, lets appreciate what Smyly has done after a really rough first start. Last 3 starts, all against playoff teams from last year and this is what he's done: 18.1 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 20 K
  4. UMFan83
    I seem to remember Ted Lilly took a perfecto late into the game but i could be wrong Edit: maybe it was just a no hitter
  5. UMFan83
    I think Gomes probably had a better shot to get him tbh. Would have been a really tough for Smyly
  6. UMFan83
    like WTF is Gomes doing? it looked like he was trying to tackle him lmao
  7. UMFan83
    Well that's one way to lose a perfect game. horsefeathering Gomes
  8. UMFan83
    Will Ross extend him enough to finish? 93 pitches so far. I'm assuming if he makes it through the 8th under like 110 pitches he'll get a shot to finish
  9. UMFan83
    Welp there's another starter injury 😞 NICO!
  10. UMFan83
    Nico must have gotten a terrible jump, I can't believe how out he was.
  11. UMFan83
    Damn, why'd they have to take Urias out and give the Dodgers a chance?
  12. UMFan83
    Maybe Mancini at least is heating up. Definitely can't keep him down much longer though. Multiple news stories today suggest its not happening anytime soon though.
  13. UMFan83
    I didn't watch the first 2 innings due to work. Turned it on bottom 3rd ready to see some offense. Got a work call so turned off the stream when the first 2 batters got out. Turned it back on to see the replay of Mancini's HR. I think I should keep the rest of the game off.
  14. UMFan83
    Smyly with 6 strikeouts through 2.2 IP
  15. UMFan83
    Everyone gave up on him, and many quite early on last year. He did suck and I didn't really care if he was phased out over the offseason, but this is more what we hoped for when the trade was made. I don't think he'll finish with a 131 wRC+ or anything close but he could definitely be a useful piece if used properly. The problem is he doesn't really have a position right now.
  16. UMFan83
    This sucks, we'll never win a lopsided matchup like Smyly vs. Urias
  17. UMFan83
    If no one else signs up, we can just flip the order over and start again. That's what we usually do.
  18. UMFan83
    I didn't mind at all the idea of signing Fulmer and putting him a high leverage role. And I still think Fulmer will be fine. Just move him to a 7th inning role and let him get right. Just not sure who closes games for the Cubs/pitches in their highest leverage situations.
  19. UMFan83
    I think Jameson Williams is the only Lions player of note to be suspended. They already released 2 of the other guys who are suspended, and the other one they didnt release seems like a special teams guy and not one that played a ton last year. But losing Williams will hurt...he only played a tiny bit at the end of the year, now will probably be out 6 games to start his 2nd year. Bad value on a player they traded up to draft in the 1st round.

  21. UMFan83
    Ok cut him.
  22. UMFan83
    Especially with Urias, May and Kershaw lined up against Smyly, Wesneski and Stroman
  23. UMFan83
    And then a .390 xba lineout to end the inning
  24. UMFan83
    Dammit, anything but a DP there ugh
  25. UMFan83
    Whew, thought that was trouble off the bat
