How is this washed-up has-been still a closer? Give the job to Soria already. Beautiful outing today. It's always nice to see your closer throw more balls than strikes. Sheesh.

Nathan has been shitty most of the year ........Today 0.1 IP. 2 Hits 2BB and bailed out by Soria:facepalm:

Brilliant move by Ausmus. Take out your ace who has a chance to pitch a complete game to trot out a 39 year-old BUM who couldn't close in Double A right now. :facepalm: It's not like the Royals are breathing down your neck or anything. You can afford to just give away games. The incompetence that is rampant in professional coaching in all sports is just mind-boggling when you think about it.

Makes no damn sense at all..........Detroit should be running away with this division with all the hitting and starting pitching they have

I still think they will end up winning it going away. The Royals are streaky, and they are due for a cold streak before too long. The Tigers do need to do something about their bullpen though, and it starts with putting Soria in as closer IMMEDIATELY.
