Fulmer!! Breaking one off in the Os.
Lot left in the tank
Iffy wants to shut him down
BAWWWWHAAAAA

 

[dougplayer]

The kid is the real deal.
I can see him starting game 2 of the WS
with Verlander winning game 1.

Salazar rough outting. But that is expected. Indians struggle on the road

And if the Tigers win and the Tribe loses, you guys will only be 5 games out! Yay, Tigers!

They're winning 4-2, half pint.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fulmer gives up 2 runs = breaking one off
Salazar gives up 2 runs = rough outing

I agree. I can't wait to see him on the Red Sox in a few years.

 

[navamind]

Alex Wilson promptly fucks him out of a win, lol.

 

[Iffster]

Kudos to doug for guessing right on Fulmer. Too bad Fulmer didn't get a win.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Definitely a bounce back start for Fulmer.

Doug.....do you think Verlander and Fulmer will be #1 and #2 in the CY Awards?

AORTA!!!

 

[Iffster]

Fulmer at 143 innings (not counting 15 minor league innings). Should he be written in for 4 more starts this season?

Maybe.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Maybe.

Seriously, if I was Ilitich, I'd insist on it, provided they stay in it and he pitches like he did tonight.

And I'd sing this to him:

I wouldn't doubt it goes down like that. Mr. I has been throwing around money for over a decade in Win Now mode.

Hard to imagine the old Tiger changing his stripes at 87, or whatever he is.(On a similar note, iffy's streak ended at 4. On posts concerning what Doug thinks) Burning out Bondermans arm at a young age gets forgotten after all the big name arms have swung thru the organization.

Fulmer only needs 19 more innings now to qualify for the ERA title. And sadly, I don't doubt that could be a factor if his number doesn't swell.

If Zim looks like a major league starter, I'll still prefer Fulmer in the pen. But I also prefer Iggy at third and Aybar at short. Maybin leading off and Kinsler hitting second. And Ausmus has yet to give a fuck what I think.​

 

[Iffster]

Seriously, if I was Ilitich, I'd insist on it, provided they stay in it and he pitches like he did tonight.

Then, I'd also have to "sign him on" to any post-season starts that would appear (see doug's post above ). Couldn't very well run him to the end of the season, then drop him from any playoff starts.

Now if I was an Indian, Royals, White Sox fan....putting extra stress on a valuable young arm of the Tiger's future, might not be all that bad of a scenario?????

 

[Iffster]

HEY...some guy who use to pitch for Detroit is now 20-3
