Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

Tigers win the division with a win tomorrow. Or do they play like crap hoping KC will lose again......This team doesn't look WS bound by the way they are playing.

But once your in and rosters change where you can use certain players more with days off anything can happen.

Wild Card here we come. How many runs did Minny get in the last 2 games? 500? Got to get rid of Jeff Jones, then Geno and Assmus. It was a crazy year, BUT I'm done. OH, fire Dumbo too.

good bye.....

The Magic Number is 1.
The Tigers have assured at least a tie for the division lead. If they win tomorrow they will capture their fourth consecutive AL Central title.

this is why you have 3 aces in max, JV and price. The last week they had 4 starts and the Tigers went 4-0 in those starts. Glad DD made the trade for price. Smyly would have been shut down by the Tigers just like the Rays did as his 2013 innings pitch was 150 and Drew was at 150 innings the beginning of sept. Now Brad has to decide to go with a 3 man staff, or try to go with Sanchez as # 4. Rick not really that great in sept and is around 30 innings over his last seasons career high.

Schedule is Thur, Fri, Sun, mon and Wed. So really you can get by in a 5 game series with 2 days off with a 3 man staff and normal days rest.

So, eerie premonition time: The opposing pitcher was named Gibson, and the last out was made on a foul pop to our catcher. Remind you long-time Tiger fans of a special year in the past?

Im too young for that one, but my old man thought Avila should've ran out and jumped in Nathan's arms.


JV, Price, Scherzer is still my preference. Followed by JV and Price if need be. I don't trust Ricky with a start. And I don't see how Sanchez could be asked to give for than two or three innings.

You still rolling with JV? Id go max,price,JV,,,,,,just dont have much faith in JV going against baltimore. Theyre a power hitting team. But i will say JV usually pitches great in the postseason. But i think max earned it.

It is a great problem to have. 3 aces,,,, thats why i said.....just make the playoffs. Just worried about the 8-9th innings. If we get a lead to the ninth, joe nathan BETTER close the door

Would love to replace geno with gibby.

Yep. Im in favor of JV first and fifth, if need be. Track record and recent outings. And Max will only be going six, if we're lucky.
