Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2017 Thread

The Tigers bullpen might suck but we didn't blow the lead tonite.......Maybe Arizona's offense is actually that bad.......

Sure would be nice to actually have both Martinez's and Kinsler in the Lineup.........Maybe we put up 14 with a real lineup.

Yep, 4th in the AL in runs scored, and JD hasn't played a game, Miggy was on the 10-day DL, and Kinsler hasn't played on this road trip.

Too bad our pitching has given up the 2nd most runs in the AL.

I heard a stat, think it was 20 straight innings of no runs allowed by the bullpen with the exception of K-Rod. It may not be as bad as you think....though certainly not a strength.

Wilson, Wilson, Greene and Hardy have all done quite well. The problem is we now have not one, but TWO relievers that we don't dare use in a close game (Sanchez and Rodriguez). With only seven relievers on the roster, that's an issue.

I don't disagree but I think at least one is dumped pretty soon, and it probably is Annibal.

Gotta DFA Sanchez boyz

This is why you CANNOT have a pitcher on your roster whom you can only use in mop-up duty. At 4-1, the game was still within reach. In the span of two batters, Sanchez put it out of reach.

Meanwhile, the Tiger batters make another no-name pitcher look like Cy Young.

For being such a good hitting team, they do have a habit of doing that.

Fulmer continues to impress, what a great acquisition.

 

[Howie115]

JD Martinez returns to the Tiger lineup tonight. Coincidentally, Jim Adduci strained his oblique taking a batting practice swing and was placed on the 10-day DL, but he was likely going back to Toledo in favor of JD, anyway.

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I need to research possibly 5th starters that could replace Zimmermann. Man has he been bad.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

They really need to just DFA Sanchez as well. He has absolutely nothing.

Yeah, Zimmermann has been very hittable. Another 10 hits allowed yesterday in 5.1 innings. 1.66 WHIP for the season. Not sure what to do with him.

And I cannot believe Anibal Sanchez is still wearing a Tiger uniform. You can't keep a guy with a 10.00+ ERA on your pitching staff just because you owe him a lot of money.

DL - Francisco Rodriguez

DFA - Sanchez

Zimmerman to the Bullpen (maybe he is the next Eckersley)

Bring up Arcenio Leon

Find a 5th starter from someplace - I have no answers
