Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

Wow. Oaklands pitcher is avg at best. The farthest he has gone is 7 this year and the Tigers made him look good. Wow at last the Lions are competitive.

 

[themuzzer]

Yuck! Only way I can explain it.

 

[burfboy]

how can a whole pitching staff go south at the same time? The only one that has not been bombed is Sanchez. Seen teams stop hitting but a pitching staff supposedly one of the best in the majors have an era of around 10 the last 8 games.....

tonight in Oakland: Kinsler Hunter Cabrera Martinez JD Martinez Kelly Jackson Avila Romine and Maxi Pooh on the hill.....Kelly 3B

Got $175 on this one. Banking on GoodMax. But with a 1-0 lead, two on and one out in the first, might only take KindaGood Max. Oh.... Make that 2-0, I see ya JD.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Well if this keeps up we can get Max for cheap!

 

[broncosmitty]

Ugh, you might be right. Dude looks like the suckwad that got sent down a few Mays ago. He'll be lucky to make it thru the fifth. (82 pitches thru 4 ain't what I want to see.)

 

[broncosmitty]

89 pitches thru 4.1. It's like an awful flashback of when I still missed Curtis and didn't know how bad Phil Coke sucked yet.

HUNTER TIE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[broncosmitty]

Nice work bullpen! And thank you Rajai.

 

[aar000n]

Needed a win. Now build on it.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Tigers win!! Tigers win!!!

Not really his FIP is but his ERA is actually .6 higher..And his xFIP is a putrid 4.68( on par with that 2008 season).. Btw his K/9 is the lowest of his career at 6.39 since his rookie season.. His BB/9 is almost 4 which is really bad and his WHIP is 1.51 which again is awful.. There are more indicators that Verlander has been mediocre other than his ERA indicates.. Even when it was sub 3, his WHIP was mid 1.3 which indicated he was going to get bombed sooner or later... He needs to step it up..

His era is .6 higher, lol. Thats not a big difference..I am concerned with his velocity and strikeouts per nine dropping as well but if it means he pitches deeper into the games and doesnt land on the dl I will be ok with it.

But his ego is too big for that, no way he comes back to det for less than what they offered. Hes gone either way.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Yeah avila sucks as well aaron..but im not banking on them trading or calling up a catcher anytime soon whereas I am banking on improvement at SS and in the pen.

That actually is a big difference.. And I already pointed out other factors to why he is having a bad year and a cause for concern..

 

[burfboy]

to extend our one game winning streak the Tigers send Sanchez to the mound.....Davis Kinsler Cabrera Martinez Hunter JD Martinez Avila Nick C Worth....Davis CF

 

[themuzzer]

Right now I think Oakland is the best team in MLB. They play the game with ruthlessness, kinda like Tampa did years ago....They put there players in positions to win with a lot smaller budget. With that being said The Tigers can go a long way to proving me wrong by taking the next few games on the road.

If you want to be the best, then beat the best.

 

[themuzzer]

He's safe...

Good job by all......I love instant replay....I'm ok taking 1 minute and 49 seconds (that one) to get it right......You only get 27 outs and to get robbed of one is a shame....
