Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2013 Thread

I imagine THAT inning will be played on a screen when Leyland and Lamont are inducted into the HOF.

1st 4 homer inning since 1986!!!

 

[burfboy]

Smitty how are you doing with the baby steps

 

[themuzzer]

JV would be better served on trying to stop HRs then trying to hit them......How many has he given up this year?

 

[Iffster]

Man o' man. Homeruns are flying today. Is JL calling a great game or what? I love it when he signals for those homers. Maybe he will let Big Gene signal for the next one!

Did you see Lamont waving Fielder in on that last homer. Good call by Geno.....I wasn't sure Biggy was going to make it!!!!

Therapy is really doing me good Burf. When JP comes to the plate I find myself saying "here comes the double play" a lot less. And Im not getting the urge to choke out Jim Price for talking about his positioning and good hands. I just have to stick to the program. Baby steps to the All-Star break...

If Verlander gives up 2 more runs, I say we bring in Valverde.

 

[burfboy]

I don't get the pleasure of listening to Price.....live too far away......good thing.....He did catch my buddy Mike Kilkenny when he pitched for the Tigers late 60s.....a Canadian Boy.....

If Verlander gives up 2 more runs, I say we bring in Valverde.

I don't trust the potato with a ten run lead.....He could give up 7 or 8 runs and JL would stick to his guns and let him keep pitching.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I hate it when we let the other team steal bases at will.

okay so garcia is good enough to play CF the first 6, but kelly needs to come in and play center for the last 3 ? is JL the only one in the world that thinks DK is better in center than garcia ?

 

[Iffster]

Well, Verlander did go seven. If the game was closer...I wonder if they'd go another inning with him?

Might just be a comfort-zone thing for either one of those guys...or maybe both of them? I am sure management sees Garcia as more of a corner ouifielder.

 

[themuzzer]

Leyland can suck balls......Really? Bringing in Smyly today with a 7 run lead........Guess he won't be available when we need him now.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Smyly made that look easy.

 

[themuzzer]

Smyly is our closer......Hopefully that's the game plan by the All Star break......Use what trading chips you have to get a bull pen guy or two. They are cheaper then Closers.

No.

 

[broncosmitty]

Garcia isn't a center fielder. He gets lousy jumps. And is too big anyway. Kelly is by far the best defensive outfielder on this roster, currently. (no hunter and no Ajax)

 

[broncosmitty]

If anyone thinks Garcia is an actual centerfield option, I hope they're a Major League GM with excess bullpen arms and a quick footed shortstop.

I don't know smitty......Dirks looks real good out there.
