Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

[aar000n]

3 games after the all star game and the tigers blow pen loses them all. With Blow nathan leading the way. Year after year the Tigers put 0 into the bullpen and now its known as the blow pen for good reasons. If you want to win stop getting crap like nathan and coke and even al. Do we have one good arm in the blow pen?

3 losses in 2 days,sad. Nathan has to go. Im not going to keep bashing the guy because it's senseless. If the front office does nothing about trading Joe or sending him some where for awhile, some place where he can't hurt the Tigers. I just don't know.

No reason to blame the dead arm. Its the coaches job to not play him.

Smyly on the hill.....Jackson Kinsler Cabrera Martinez JD Martinez Hunter Nick C Avila Romine

Kinsler is on an O for 16 tear....the 2 3 4 5 hitters were 1for16 last night and 4 for32 yesterday....this is the stuff of Champions?......with this going on it really doesn't matter who is pitching...

 

[broncosmitty]

Kinsler and JD are a combined 1-24, I'll take em to split POG today. Cabrera gets another double. Hunter gets his OBP over .300.

And Raburn Sucks!!!

Smyly may get the POG, if it never gets to the pen...I know I like what I am seeing from 3 of the 4 you mentioned

So far so good. Smly better get a complete game.

Anyone else see Porcello in the pen warming up before Nathan even threw his first pitch? What was that about? I get no one trust Nathan including me, but was that a warning sign from Ausmus?

He once again reiterated that nathan is his closer. Its just as baffling as the benoit valverde situation last season.

Ya, but JL made those calls, Today someone (Ausmus is my guess) made the call to have Porcello warming up before Nathan even got to the mound.......It was just telling is all I'm saying if you had full confidence in your closer.

Would be more interesting read if finalized.

JV is on the mound in Arizona tonight....Jackson Kinsler Cabrera Martinez Hunter Suarez Holaday Davis JV......Miggy3B VMart 1B.....

 

[burfboy]

it will suck to give up players to get Ben Wa back....Tigers ignored him in the offseason......I think he will be a good pickup.....

 

[burfboy]

these are Iffy's Diamondbacks I may just miss him a little bit tonight......what do you think Muzz?

 

[Cleaves2000]

So the tigers got around 10 days for the deadline....

Soria?
Benoit?

Heard cishek was available....he was great last year, has been ok to good this yr. hes still young and under contract. Time to rip the marlins off again.

Seen article on cbs where heyman said tigers should trade for papelbon, rollins, and cash. Interesting but costly. Wouldnt mind seeing rollins bat leadoff in comericas big park....i know hes old but he could be re-energized by a trade...but i wouldnt give up too much. Plus phillies would have to give us alot of cash...

So those seem to be the options...unless we just get a 7th inning guy so we dont have to see al al so much. Or get an 8th inning guy and use joba in the 7th. I still think we need a lefty reliever. Gonna be interesting this next week n a half.

I just look at the teams records and I know the answer......I couldn't possibly imagine him clawing his way back to talk trash with the D-backs in shambles.
