Man on 3rd, 2 outs
Maggy Ordonez takes a fastball the other way for an RBI single. Well, at least it wasn't a home run.
1 on, 1 in 1-0 Tigers.

Looks like Milton has his nothing fastball from 2005

Anyway, with as big as this park is, wouldn't you guys say that there will be many fly balls?
Hope Freel is up to the task.

1-0 Tigers. Milton looks awful with his location right now.

coupled with low velocity is a deadly combinationOriginally Posted by SteelSD
1 on, 2 out
Carlos Guillen up to continue the inning. Milton throws an 87 MPH fastball followed by an 82 MPH change up. That, sports fans, is a recipe for total disaster. Guillen runs the count to 3-0 and Milton would be well off just to walk him and move on.
Milton gets a generous strike call from the umpire to continue the AB -- still not having good feelings about things -- way outside for ball four to put Guillen on base.
We cut Dave Williams for this?

Milton looks awful early on, but Freel's defense hasn't exactly helped things.

86-88. He looks like a pitcher that needed some rehab startsOriginally Posted by cincyinco
87 at best.Originally Posted by cincyinco
He hasn't hit 90. 87 I think was the fastest yet.Originally Posted by cincyinco
Milton is the O'brien pickup that will be the hardest to get rid of.

Get DWill up in the pen!
Milton being Milton with 2 on, 2 out...
Chris "Hot April" Shelton up with another RISP opportunity. Milton cannot locate his curveball and falls quickly behind 2-0. No location, no velocity -- this guy is not ready to pitch and is going to be lit up in VERY short order if he keeps offering up 87 MPH with no movement.
He hits a drive out to CF that Griffey can't get and another run scores.
2-0 Detroit, the national nightmare continues...
