Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

Three hits going to the 8th was the biggest problem. ....not saying the BP is ok,Coke can't be put out there again. ....I ask again what would be the easiest to find a #5 starter or good BP help?

Agree, the bats have been putrid the last two games.

 

[Cleaves2000]

In the last 2 games that were close games...sunday 1 IP...1 ER.....Last night 2 IP.....1 ER....

Woke up today with a coke hang over...

 

[Cleaves2000]

Lets not overlook that rajai made a horrible play also....defense looks worse than last year....our RF's looked real uncomfortable out there last night....didnt know LA's RF was so dangerous.

Well shit! Coke got one out atleast. Another example of ERA not telling the story for relievers. Cuz Coke blows, Brad has to know this. Would have been nice to have Smyly available. Not sure why they didn't skip his turn again.

I thought they did, doesnt he pitch in a week?

Yes they look very similar to last years squad when it comes to pen and lineup, except pen is even worst.

So far this team looks like a lesser version of last years team. Bullpen just as bad, bats are less and the starting rotation is down one solid man.

??? on the starting rotation comment. Starters with 9 ER in 39.2 innings (2.04 ERA). No starter has given up more than 2 ER in a game yet.

I think he meant fister got traded...i dont see that hurting the starting pitching as much as it hurt the BP to take smyly out of it to start...

Yup offense isnt impressing me....if you think about it, the tigers only scored 5 runs in their first 2 wins vs KC. im ready for these manufactured runs to start happening.

 

[Howie115]

Ahh, my apologies.... Aar000n wrote "down one solid man", and I read it as "down TO one solid man."

Sorry.

He hasn't pitched since the fourth? I thought he was being inserted into to rotation Friday or Saturday and JV wasn't pitching till Sunday again? If he's still available in the bullpen Brad needs to use him, cuz Coke will do what he can to lose games, we all know that by now.

No Al Kaline Gold Gloves for Kelly or Davis. Outfield play and Jackson's piss poor throw to home has me worried. Lil Miggy lookin good this season. Now, who did we get for him?

 

[burfboy]

Nathan said he is dealing with a dead arm....I think Coke has a dead arm and a meat head

 

[burfboy]

Davis seemed to play the last hit to LF weird but that ball was hit like a Rocket off Coke....it was out there in a real hurry. ...

 

[burfboy]

tonight on the Left Coast we have Davis Kinsler Miggy Martinez Hunter Nick C Collins Gonzalez Sanchez....VMart catching

 

[burfboy]

Hey VMart. ....throw out and rbi

Red Wings Make playoffs! !!!!

 

[MI Nightmare]

Keep Sanchez in the line-up.

DH him for Avila...now somebody to throw down to 2B for him....

 

[burfboy]

Nick C. YARD. ...

 

[broncosmitty]

Nicky C!!!!!!!!

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Castellanos is a beast!!!
