Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2016 Thread

From CBSsports:

Tigers' Justin Wilson: Among AL leaders in holds

Wlson has five holds in six appearances and has fired eight strikeouts in 5-1/3 innings of work.
Wilson is tied for the AL lead in holds and sports a 0.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and opponents are hitting just .167 against him.

-------

With the return of Alex Wilson and Blaine Hardy, in addition to the solid work from Justin Wilson so far, I feel better about our middle relief.

Such a pleasant photo. A far-cry from him threatening to blow up a bar.

Detroit Tigers
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Justin Upton, LF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Victor Martinez, DH
5. J.D. Martinez, RF
6. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
7. Mike Aviles, 3B
8. Anthony Gose, CF
9. Jose Iglesias, SS How long will J.D. Martinez continue to hit for average? He's leading the Tigers regulars at .372, ahead of Nick Castellanos (.357) and Ian Kinsler (.340.) Both Martinez and Castellanos rank in the top five for the American League. The Tigers are hitting .284 as a team, second in the American League behind Baltimore.

• The Tigers went 9-10 against the Royals in 2015, even though Detroit finished last in the American League Central while Kansas City would go on to win the World Series.

Tigers are doing badly, and @Iffster points it out. How original. 162 games my friend, you gonna win 62 and your gonna lose 62 times ... it's what happens with the other games. No excuses, it is what it is.

 

[Iffster]

Hey Voltaire.....have you got your good shoes on?

 

[Iffster]

Miggy....not coming through early. Striking out with bases loaded and one out. Not what we are use to.

 

[Iffster]

I can read Ausmus' lips. "Damn, this Greene kid sucks, Big Time!"

 

[Voltaire26]

Hey Voltaire.....have you got your good shoes on?

Alright, I'll take the bait: Why?

5-0

[Iffster]

Hey! Hey! Upton got a walk. Second this year....to go along with 21 Ks

 

[Iffster]

Now THAT is what we have come to expect from Miggy. Two run double

If that is your dream ... go ahead.

2-2 Red Wings-Lightning

 

[Iffster]

OK.....first of the year.

"WHY IS MIKE AVILES ON THE TEAM?" AND "WHY IS AUSMUS PLAYING MIKE AVILES?"

[To be honest I had those two question left over from years ago. I just swapped Aviles for Inge and Ausmus for Leyland]

 

[Iffster]

pssttt...Brad....you can pull Greene now.

 

[Iffster]

WOW! GQ Brad heard me.

 

[Iffster]

Oh well.....
