Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

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

Im not sure why Norris got tossed so quickly. He hit Torii immediately after Kinsler took him deep, but it was in the ribs. Hunter took offense and said something, Norris replied and get the hook quick. Inning before Krol went high and tight on back to back pitches to Markakis. Maybe something was said there, idk. Bud was pitching a great game for the O's. Buck just left him in too long (hot muggy weather might be getting guys a little testy)

I still say it should have been a out for interference.

Does anyone think Clevenger should get a Emmy for the flopping after he touched him? Worse than the Laimbeer Flop...

Ausmus knew exactly what was going on there. (Pretty sure I saw him sell a couple of those when Detroit seriously stunk.) I was yellin at him(the TV) to throw his hat or kick some dirt. Wasn't going to get the call, but with instant replay Im getting tired or all these polite conversations out there. (Non reviewable)

All I saw was highlights on MLB.com. Short highlight never discussed it. I know what Charles Barkley would have said.

Rick Porcello is 6-1, and has been very good since about July 1 of last year. If he keeps this up, he'll be commanding more $$$ than Fister next year. Could be asking $12-$14 mill per season.

it may come down to paying Ricky or paying Max......

Actually very pleased with Romine's defense. He may not cover the ground that Iglesias would, but not a severe drop-off, either. Any offense he gives us is a bonus.

I for one am also happy with romine at SS. Thats a position that I prefer defense at. Stephen drew would still be an excellent acquisition though for defense and offense purposes.

Wow out of the first inning.....I have the Houston broadcast tonight boring whoever these guys are

You would be as well if you had to announce for houston

Dang i missed a good one. Saw hunter get plunked on mlb network....they were talking about hunter on high heat today...said he hunter apologized after and said he had a kid going to college and knew he couldnt set a bad example. Classy guy.....now i see baseball making a big deal about the ump touching hunters chin....if hunter had no problem with it, the league shouldnt.


I see krol had a scoreless 7th....see what happens when i dont watch.....but ill be watching tonight.....i hope smyly doesnt hit a batter early and get tossed for last nights incident.

Anyone know if the weather is clear in baltimore? Rainy here in chicago.

 

[burfboy]

the weather looks good in Baltimore for tonight tomorrow is a little iffy......o shit I said iffy
JD Martinez was brought up because of this hot streak in Toledo what's the scoop on his defense?

After Norris got tossed, he was allowed to stay in the dugout and yap at Hunter. What gives? Once you're tossed, its off to the locker room, not take a seat next to the manager.


GO MONTREAL.

I suspect Norris' fines increased the longer he stayed in the dugout.

Davis' true colors have begun to show quite a bit out there lately. But I still don't really miss Dirks at all. When's he supposed to be back?

 

[gandydancer]

Anyone have insight on why JD is batting behind Victor? Hot streak in minors is not protection for him.

 

[burfboy]

Next month....

Early June I read on B/R

He is on track and resumed baseball activities for what it is worth
