Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

Everytime i watch him, he seems to not get the man out hes supposed to...

I SAID i didnt like him when we got him....once i watched him pitch i STILL dont like him....im sorry im not one of those fans that loves every player. I can think of many players over the years i just didnt care for.....i dont see krol being the answer in the pen when we need a huge out and big papi or fielder or elsbury or whatever LH hes paid to come in and get out.

. You sure it's Ian Krol that's pitching when guys aren't making outs? He still hasn't walked a single batter.....
(23 year old lefties with 96mph fastballs that throw strikes are good with me.)

Just look at our next 26 games....at cleveland is the easiest series on paper....we are 21-12......lets see where we stand after game 59 once this tough stretch finishes.....34-25 might look good....thats .500 ball.

 

[broncosmitty]

We got 5 wins vs teams with a winning record...its gonna get tougher...

Not much. We play the other central teams enough times that most of the remaining games will be against sub .500 teams. The end of May will be tough, Rangers and then out to the West Coast for a second time in two months.

11 hits in 11 innings....im just used to seeing left handed pen guys come in and get guys out....maybe its because im used to lefties making avila look bad, he has looked better lately....but yeah, i just dont care for him....or joba.....sorry.....everytime the 7-8 innings roll around i get nervous....were 21-12 but how many of those 12 losses come from the pen? Elite teams that win 100 games usually dont blow games after the 7th...true its only early reg season but this BP will not help us win a WS. JUST DONT SEE IT..

we will see starting tonight...baltimore and boston are 2 hitters ballparks....hope the starters go 8.

nobody is celebrating what happens in the last 2 series. But it sure as hell is not the end of the world yeah they're going to lose games this year and they're going to win games they should win this year. 162 games best case scenario is they only lose sixty two games at the most more than likely to lose 70.

We'd have a five or six game cushion at a minimum if that's the case. Id be fine with 34-25 tbh.

You mean other central teams like minny? And i think next time we play KC they will be out for blood after getting crushed by us so far.

I never said it was the end of the world...i said it was a disappointing homestand vs 2 of the worst teams in baseball....3 of 4 vs houston was good but they still went 4-3.

And if you dont think red flags should rise over not scoring on the twins.....hell we didnt really score on houston....the pitching carried us.....looks like last year where we score 9 runs one game then score crap like 3 or 2 or 1 the rest.

Minny is in the Central, so yep. Under .500, like every other team but one. Kansas City can be out for whatever they want. That team isn't going to be in playoff contention unless they find a power hitter or three. Same story, different year.

 

[themuzzer]

I heard something about a delay, how long they expect it to be?

 

[themuzzer]

Nevermind, 7:30-7:35 start time.

 

[burfboy]

no score after 1

 

[burfboy]

Willie Mays Kelly would have had the ball in left field

 

[burfboy]

Victor. ......Keep us going AJ...

 

[broncosmitty]

Cabrera just paid attention to a base coach. Im stunned. (It was wise to stop.)

 

[aar000n]

BS call umpire.

 

[broncosmitty]

That's the second real nice play from Nicky C tonight.

 

[aar000n]

Kinsler!!!!!

 

[broncosmitty]

That was interesting. Not really sure what Blue was doing baby slappin' Torii in the cheek. (Or what Norris said to get tossed so quickly.)That kinda thing can get a guy dropped.

What is going on with y'all tonight? I am reading a lot of HBP and Torii going after Bud Norris.
