I don't watch the mets

experts pick ChSox and Cleveland, didn't they pick Cleveland and Detroit last year. working out well for them

What're the odds Minny scores tomorrow?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

What're the odds Minny scores tomorrow?

Pretty sure if they are held scoreless in the 1st, they'll match the 1940 Senators.

 

[Howie115]

What're the odds Minny scores tomorrow?

Pretty good... unless they don't play at all (bad weather in town). Greene has some upside, but he's a far cry from Price or Sanchez.

 

[Howie115]

Man the Twins are really, really bad

Yeah, I don't think Gardenhire had much to do with their troubles. Can't kill elephants with a Nerf gun.

 

[Howie115]

Avila..wow his OBP must be sky high so far.....but iam sure it will fall fast

Of course it will. Enjoy it while it lasts. The 8 & 9 spots in the Tiger order went 10-for-10 on base yesterday, and scored 7 runs. Yeesh! Tigers have scored 15 runs in two games and Cabrera/V-mart are still finding their swings after missing most of spring training. When the big boppers get going ... hoo boy!

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Well, an opening series sweep is pretty nice.

 

[Erie Warrior]

Nice game by the Tribe today. I hope they saved some runs for tomorrow

 

[bksballer89]

White Sox fans disagree

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Not a bad start to the season for the Tigers. Score a boat load of runs while only giving up one unearned run in 3 games.
Never really paid attention to Shane Greene, but I came away very impressed today. He reminds me of Doug Fister with all the movement he has on all his pitches.

greene has some upside??? dam strike machine!! if he canthrow strikes like that every start he will win a lot of games.
Tigers sweep the Twins.
Twins break scoreing draught at Comerica park..he was 34 innings long.

 

[dougplayer]

What a start! for the Tigers and the Royals!
1 run allowed by the Tigers. don't care if it was against the twins. still impressive.
pouring rain here in Detroit. they got that game in just at the right time
fate? karma? seemslike this Tiger team is meant for greatness this year.

 

[dougplayer]

how about some respect for JD Mart???? proven last year was no fluke...
and Iggy at SS.man that guy has to be the slickest fielder at short in a long time.

Yankees might have made a big mistake letting Greene get away. just like the Astros did with JD

 

[da55bums]

I still think Edison V was a bad signing but the defense makes Royals pitchers look really good. Hope he proves me wrong somehow.

Can the Royals make it 5 gold gloves this year, Perez, Hosmer, Gordon, Cain and Escobar?

Tigers and Royals, 1-2 in runs scored in the majors, Royals with 6 hrs? glad Sale wasn't to be seen

It was a bit of a trick question.

But Greene and company almost pulled off another shutout. I only got to listen on the radio, but Dickerson said something in the 6th about Greene only getting to ONE two ball count!?! That's impressive.

 

[bksballer89]

Is that the Greene kid from the Yankees?

 

[da55bums]

yes

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Would love a nice long winning streak to start off the year. It's a hell of a grind to get to 18 over. Chipping 9 away off the bat would be nice.
