Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2015 Thread

Figured after he walked Collins to get to Nicky it'd be a bunch of junk in the dirt. Instead he pitched to his strengths.

It was funny, the catcher came out to talk to Broxton on the pitch before that. Maybe to tell him he got too much plate with the fastball that Nick fouled off. Then he comes back with another fastball down the middle? Oops. To his credit, Nick didn't miss it.

Weird seeing Davis sandwiched between two not fast guys.

Guess Brad wants to break up the speed?

Anybody else think they're seeing McCann win himself the starting catcher gig? (Lil' could be our back up catcher lefty off the bench for five-six years that way. Don't think his body can take all that punishment on a regular basis much longer.)

 

[broncosmitty]

Nicky C with a serious long distance homer to give us the 2-0 lead.

Maybe, just maybe he's clicking now.

Price is dealing btw.

 

[burfboy]

I like Nick....he is young and will be OK
McCann looks like the real deal, Smitty....

Nick is still learning. McCann is still learning. I think both will be solid contributors in due time. McCann is actually a year older than Castellanos. I think Tiger fans forget how young Nick is, because he's been touted as an up-and-comer in the Tiger system since he was 18 or 19.

Nice to see Nick pull a ball for a home run. It's great that he can hit to right field with power, but when he learns to consistently turn on the inside corner pitches, look out.

We also forget the Tigers tried to turn Nick into an outfielder. ...his defensive stats are much improved this season....

Damn, how many times has Ausmus left Sanchez in too long this year ?

Too many!

Aid is shows he can't manage a bullpen again

 

[broncosmitty]

I'd like to see Dixon Machado gets some time in the lineup if Iggy is out.

That way we can trade him.

 

[Howie115]

Bullpen warm, Astros hitters clearly starting to time Sanchez, over 110 pitches thrown, and Ausmus leaves him in.

22 of 47 games now scoring 2 runs or fewer. Fortunate to get good pitching today and escape with a 1-0 win.
