Verlander. Vs duffy.
BAWWWWWWHAAAAA
I got a W marked down already for Verlander. In PEN

Doug....do you have the inside dope on JV and Kate? I often wonder if JV ''keeps out of bed'' for a day or two before a start. Casey Stengel says that stuff weakens the legs! I'd hate to see Verlander only butterknife sharp today.

Iffy. You remember when babe Ruth hit 714?

 

[dougplayer]

I bet $V 125 DOLLARS ON THE TIGERS.
Easy money

 

[Iffster]

Doug - Babe hit 714 AND his head didn't get any bigger as he got closer and closer to that number, like Barry Bond's did. Now, Babe's gut expanded......

Doug, your betting record is pretty bad. Remember your horse racing tips. LOL

 

[dougplayer]

You forget iffy..
Why they call me dougPLAYER..
Of my gambling awesomeness

Ian Kinsler is a Mizzou Tiger. I guess he's a tiger for life. Him and Scherzer are the 2 best baseballers from Mizzou that I'm aware of.

 

[Good_Code]

Verlander and Duffy is hot vs hot. In this case I'll go with the team that is on a winning streak and at home. Verlander 2.0 my be getting it done but not like the HOF years that will probably get him inducted.

If Duffy all of the sudden turned into a fireballing LHP ace- that'd really make this season have a lot more juice for me. As of right now, I feel that the odds of beating out Cleveland and Detroit in the division are rather grim. Way too many nights the rotation gets lit up in short order for the HL BP to matter. Offense might be better with Gordon coming back and Colon/Whit at 2nd being superior to Infante, but a lot of work needs to be done. If nothing else, the kid in me would like to see Beltran come back.

Good post moose.
It's a wise man that knows he is beat.
Jump on tiger bandwagon.plenty of room for the big win

 

[navamind]

What a shame. Verlander was only 27 outs away.

What a shame. Verlander was only 27 outs away.

Meanwhile- Duffy is doing... Duffy things.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Duffy had a strike percentage of over 69% coming into this game. That's better than Syndergaard and Kershaw. #Sustainable

 

[navamind]

Pretty convinced Victor Martinez is a zombie.

 

[dougplayer]

After 2 innings? ?? You do know they play 9????
Lot of game to be played rookies

 

[Iffster]

Snapshot of Vice at the KC/Detroit game. He is the one in the middle. I knew it. I just knew it.

 

[broncosmitty]

If KC only had a bullpen...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hochevar once again proves his mediocrity against right handed batters.

 

[broncosmitty]

Did Cleveland really just get swept by these minor leaguers?

 

[handicappers]

lol @ Doug......what a doofuss.
