FATBASTARD
Tigers scoring early again. With the bottom 1/3 getting going. I will take the here and there contributions for improved defense it brings.
Losing Nathan is no loss... addition by subtraction. The young guys need to take hold and not let go. Bullpen looked good today...
The Tigers have a number of decent guys that could take the roster spot form Nathan and run with it... Including Melvin Mercedes or Jose Valdez... both flame throwers that could easily work the 6th or 7th inning or Blaine Hardy who was solid last year... as soria slides to the 9th and al al to the 8th or joba is his fat ass can get in line. Losing Nathan is in no way a big deal. It just gives a young guy a chance to shine.It's a loss only because Rondon is also on the DL, and makes the back end of the Tiger bullpen pretty thin. If Rondon comes back soon, I'll agree, Nathan can sit on the DL for a while.
He tanked on me last year, after I propped him up. I'm proceeding with caution this year on Krol. But I'm cautiously optimistic.Lookinggood so far. Joe nathan placed on DL. injuries starting to mount.
Smitty? Krol just needs to throw strikes.
The 8 & 9 spots in the Tiger batting order go 10-for-10 on base and score 7 runs. When is the last time that happened, if ever?

Glad they got the game in today. Looking forward to the weekend so I can watch.
