well the Cy Young may have gotten wrapped up this afternoon. King Felix with a very ugly 8 earned in a mere 3 innings. His ERA now at 2.97.

Stop starting JV? I know a lot of fans get super emotional if the tigers dont win or a certain player screws up or is slumping but that idea is ridiculous.. Yeah JV isnt earning his contract this year, that applies to many players in the league. His ERA is at 3.73. IT hasnt been a great year for JV but really how stupid of a decision would it be for jl to bench JV. There would be no coming back from that, it would be a huge sign of disrespect toward jv and he would take it personally as would you or anyone else if you were in that position. A 3.7 ERA in a down year for a pitcher that won cy young and mvp two years ago and people want him not starting already. The team is 20 games over .500, and well on their way to the playoffs and a player like jv can turn it around at any time. So enough with the stupid ideas.

Aye I can't get on board with that, I can see pushing back a start but that's as far as I would go.

Me or at least take him off one or three starts.
Now we have a 0-5 pitcher with 5.45 era. So we make him look good.

Easy out Iglesious kills another rally. Rally killing waste of space.

Fielder chokes again. Take him and swap him with Martinez. Be a manager And dirks chokes again.

 

[broncosmitty]

Man do I ever love Iggy in the field.

 

[aar000n]

jackson gives the game away with choke at the plate with a man at 3rd. Rubber armed joke 0-5 pitcher and they swing at shit in the dirt. Then he drops a pop fly to give two more runs away.

Wow, I can't believe the vitriol at a first place team and one that is destined for the postseason. Yeah, it was a bad series, and at home no less. But we are five games ahead going into September, things aren't really that bad.
For those that want to rest JV, I don't disagree that he is tired but I don't think a break would help him mentally. I think a pitch count might get his attention. He gets out, he gets innings. He doesn't, he sits.
The A's are a good team and they exposed us. Better now than in October.
It feels good to be back posting again and I look forward to seeing these two teams play again in the postseason.

I dunno. I think all the vitriol is coming mainly from one poster.

as long as we dont play oakland in a series. The A's showed Detroit that heart wins over a big payroll. Getting owned at home is just sad. Hopefully they will decide to play defense tommrow and hit in the clutch.

I remember the Tigers getting swept (4 games, I think) in Anaheim early last September and people pretty much buried them. August baseball is not October baseball. They aren't playing good baseball right now and it got exposed by a fundamentally sound team.
