Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2017 Thread

Then we give back to back jacks......Grrr, two steps forward one step back.....Pitch count is decent for Zimmerman but low velocity and 1 K don't excite me.

 

[themuzzer]

Let's try and see the Bull pen blow this lead..........I triple dog dare them.

 

[Howie115]

Glad we have offense tonight. Zimmermann is still way too hittable.

 

[themuzzer]

I don't know what everyone is worried about.......24 hits and 19 runs.......As long as we do that every game, we should be fine......Iggy and Miggy, and J.D. would have just messed tonite up if they were in the lineup grounding into Double Plays etc........Were good guys......Hahaha

 

[themuzzer]

Just keep giving us pitchers like King Felix everynite and it's a piece of cake from here on out.

 

[broncosmitty]

Avila for MVP!

Team ERA = 5.43 (highest in MLB)
Team WHIP = 1.55 (highest in MLB)
Walks per Game = 4.26 (highest in MLB)

Yeah, better hope we keep scoring double-digit runs.

It's crazy...our catchers have combined for 9 home runs.

And yet we're in 1st place ... I'm confused ... but happy!!

Yep. And I think of the bullpen allowing a 5-run inning that blew a game, and another game that should have ended with a routine double-play, but didn't ... we could be 13-6. With the worst pitching staff, by the numbers, in the major leagues. How's that for crazy?

We can only hope that the pitching rights itself somewhat as the hitting/home runs inevitably come back to earth.

Not counting that Hicks guy even.

I kinda liked seeing McCann and Avila in the lineup at the same time. Not that I wouldn't rather see Miggy. But Hicks does let Ausmus dona couple things differently.

Too early and a small sample to project any thing. First place baby......

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Fucking DFA Sanchez already.

 

[broncosmitty]

Well, we're averaging 9.5 runs a game so far this week.

 

[Howie115]

Well, looks like our league-worst pitching numbers didn't get any better last night.

Rich Dubee may be fired before Ausmus. Not that it's all Dubee's fault, but he could be made a scapegoat.

 

[Howie115]

Control problems for Verlander again. No runs through 3, but the command looks very similar to his last start in Minnesota.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Collins loves to fuck up a good performance. He is garbage in CF.

 

[Howie115]

Surprised JV went 7 innings after seeing his pitch count at the end of the 3rd. Nice start, but looks like an ND.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Ausmus is a dumbass and K-Rod is garbage. So obvious that Wilson needs to be the closer now.
