Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2016 Thread

Nice there jv

 

[Iffster]

Verlander not sharp today. Looks like a six inning job and hope he keeps Jays to 4 or less runs. But with those first 4 guys in their lineup....makes Tigers' top 4 look just ordinary.

 

[Wazmankg]

He needs to stick with that circle change or whatever that pitch is that's been falling off the table if he can keep it down like that and they keep swinging at it. They're barrelling up just about anything else. 97 though. That's encouraging.

 

[Wazmankg]

Oh Nick. He should be on that ballot.

 

[Wazmankg]

What an ass on that cop.

Toronto runs into two outs at home plate. Did Dave Clark switch sides?

Tiger blowpen strikes again.

Tigers beat up on Happ earlier this year ... likely gonna need to do so again to cover for Pelfrey.

Carerra is such a bad baseball player.

Just bad.

 

[Iffster]

Two innings for Pelfrey and 4 baserunners. That's standard. But no runs scored. Wow. All Star game sub????

 

[broncosmitty]

Wasting another solid start from Pelfrey.

 

[Iffster]

Tigers have an awesome bullpen again this year, huh? If you are honest...there is not one relief pitcher (except KRod) who couldn't be replaced. Personally, I'd keep Justin Wilson as lefties are a little harder to find...but the rest on the major league, and the Toledo, roster could be released.

Red Sox get Brad Ziegler from Arizona for 2 minor league B prospects. Detroit will call up Buck Farmer to strengthen THEIR bullpen.

 

[burfboy]

Why the fuck did they send Vmart?

 

[themuzzer]

KA-BOOM!!!!!!! V-MART MAKES UP FOR HIS SLOW BASE RUNNING GOING YARD TO DEEEP CENTER!!!!!

 

[Iffster]

Bullpen wasn't perfect...but a lot better than usual. Tigers win.

 

[Howie115]

That's the Jason Grilli I remember. Tigers actually get a well-pitched game from some unlikely sources.
