Great to see Ajax in the lineup.......Avila hitting 9 is a good .....but why is he even in the lineup?

 

[themuzzer]

The Rickster!

 

[Spartan1Nation]

wooooo hooooo my boy Ajax is back!!

 

[Spartan1Nation]

.302 avg....20 doubles.... 10 HR's.... 38 Rbi's...377 OBP... 265 AB's.... Those are Nick Castellonos stats in AAA... Won't be long before we see this kid in the show

 

[themuzzer]

Talk about piss poor planning....Get this crap over with before the game start time. Change the damn start time if you know full well your going to have a ceremony good lord.

 

[broncosmitty]

Ceremony? I see the game is in a delay, but I assumed rain. Whats going on up there in the Land of 10,000 Lakes?

 

[broncosmitty]

Clete Thomas is starting tonight!?! Well hot damn! Only wish I'd set the DVR...

 

[adrian2]

stop trying to pull the lefty and take the ball the other way.

 

[broncosmitty]

Three straight two out doubles! Gotta love it!

 

[burfboy]

Sure hope the Tigers soon get that slick fielding SS that hits .230 soon......baby steps....

 

[burfboy]

That bum Porcello shouldn't be in the rotation.....

 

[themuzzer]

That bum Porcello shouldn't be in the rotation.....

Is that sarcasm burf?

Ricky has been solid tonite...6 IP 3 hits 5 Ks 0 R's

 

[burfboy]

Yea Muzz....I have been a big Ricky supporter the last 2 years.....just a poke at some of the experts on the board....same with Jhonny....

I figured as much, is there sarcasm emoticon. I really need to find that myself if it exist.

 

[burfboy]

See Jhonny with the glove....

Looks like the Tigers could have a dilemma... Trade Porcello while he is pitching like a front end of the rotation guy and has some value or.... Hold on to him and gamble that he develops into the pitcher they had hoped he would be when they drafted him... Be interesting but if he really is turning the corner then i would hold on to him... But it is a gamble

 

[Iffster]

I like Porcello lowering his stats a little more tonite. Increasing his value as the trading season gets closer. With a pitcher like Smyly also on the roster, there is no need to keep both when holes need to be filled.

I agree... I forgot about good ole Smyly... If he can help snatch us Papelbon that would be a dream

 

[Spartan1Nation]

There will be teams lined up to try and acquire Porcello... If he keeps pitching like this he could be a top of the rotation guy for a bad team... If he can handle that kind of pressure... Plus he is 24 still
