Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2013 Thread

[adrian2]

okay so in the lineup today we have Alex, DK and santiago. 3 guys hitting under 200 on a team expecting to challenge for the WS. Hope max brings his A game today. He may need it.

 

[adrian2]

santiago sucks. Just pay him his deal and send him on his way.Give us danny worth when he gets of the dL. At least he can field.

 

[broncosmitty]

Best thing about Jhonny Peralta.... He's not Ramon Santiago! I like VMart at first though.

 

[Iffster]

Throwing this out......if Vmart has not found his stroke by the All Star game, perhaps the Cubs will give us Soriano and pay for most of his remaining contract. Take a look at Delmon Young's pre-Allstar game numbers from last year. Can Vmart get to those numbers by mid-July? (Remember - Young didn't start every game at DH like VMart has.)

 

[broncosmitty]

Alex Avila just bought himself another fortnight in the big leagues.

 

[gvsulaker82]

vmart will be fine.

Indian's bullpen chokes away a win. Tigers up by game and a half.

 

[dougplayer]

Scherzer for Cy Young? just saying

Tigers win. take 3 of 4 from the Twins. feels like a let down. should have won all 4. only scored 2 runs in game 3.

Indians fall farther down. coughed up a win in the 9th in Boston. Oh well.. Indians fans will always have May

I was told the injuns had a superior bullpen.....heard grumblings from the cleveland area lately..sounded like.....whaat thaaaa fuggggggg is raburn doinggggggggg?

Have fun with raturd injuns!

Tigers in 1st!

Verlander tomorrow.. I have a feeling.. he is going to pitch a gem. a gem I say!!!

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander Vs noodle arm. The ex Twin superstar. Lariano.

he is 3-0 in the NL. Tigers should run him out by the 3rd inning.

iam serious..Verlander will be in the zone tomorrow! bet on it

 

[jdwills126]

I like Cabrera at first, Fielder at DH at Castellanos at 3rd!

The Tigers are going to have a log jam in the OF sooner than later with Jackson, Garcia, Castellanos, Dirks and for at least 1 year Hunter.

As good as Garcia he should stay down until he can play everyday. As much as I hate Kelly in the lineup.

 

[kengel6]

dp,
With 13 k's, that only earns half a gem. Why are the early innings always Verlander's toughest?

 

[Howie115]

Verlander's fastball velocity has been 91-92 in the early innings and his location has been off. Hitters seem to be fouling off enough good pitches to get JV to throw one over the heart of the plate, and they've been hitting it hard. When the pinpoint location returns for JV, he'll be back to his usual level. Lots of good signs yesterday, though, and with the 13 Ks, I'd say "rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated."

Brought to u live from South Carolina.....not much Tiger Baseball here except Clemson...You are right Howie....one of our favorite posters sure...."greatly exaggerated" the demise of JV and the Tiger Franchise....good call.....baby steps Smitty.....4-4...

 

[broncosmitty]

Poor Ricky.... He gets Avila behind the plate. But atleast he's got DK and Jay Honny behind him. (crazy thing Burf, I meant every word of that last sentance). I have a hunch as to why the Wings lost last night.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Im starting to hope we play against lefty starters now.....seeing avila getting penciled in bothers me.....guy is so lost at the plate right now.

Anyone seen shane lately? Hes been missing from the AL smack talk thread lately....becoming more of a tiger smack talk thread. So sad, tried to warn the poor fella that in cleveland, history has a way of repeating itself.

 

[Iffster]

I am wondering if the Dweeb Squad has gone elsewhere to talk? I see burf still posting, but.....you know.......

Clev losing early...so if game is called....we might pick up half a game doing nothing.

 

[broncosmitty]

Doesn't matter who's out there behind Porcello.... When he strikes out the side!!!
