Tigers score.....the streak is dead....

Looks like the Motown Kitties will score in bunches, tonight. I wouldn't be shocked if they put up double digits vs this pitiful O's team.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Tigers need to put VMart out the pasture and just bring up Christian Stewart as the DH.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Daniel Norris is officially a bust.

How bad will the AL Central get? The Tigers are in second place and they are 4 games under .500!!!!

Sadly....I think the Tigers are "peaking" right now. The pitching, which to this point, has been better than anticipated, will start to revert to form. Guys like Saupold, Farmer, Wilson, the now departed VerHagen will pitch to form. Joe Jimenez - who was great for about 10 appearances, is starting to slip. How long will Boyd and Liriano hold up? IMO...those two are the key to the pitching staff. If they can put up strings of quality starts, they will cut the innings the bullpen needs to throw and at least give the offense a chance - on those days they decide not to get shutout. LOL

Bullpen - when he comes back.

He is injured.....

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Lol @Shane Greene

 

[Iffster]

This is one odd team.......

I think the Tiger bullpen, if they work a little harder, can get the Tigers to 5th place by the first of June. LOL

BTW....why did Jones steal second in the ninth - down three runs??????

With 2 in the 9th, the Tigers avoided tying the 2003 team for the all-time team record of being shut out 6 times before May 1.

Too soon to think Matt Boyd has turned a corner in his career? He may not get a lot of wins on this crappy team, but his other numbers are looking very good so far:

2.48 ERA
1.07 WHIP
.217 Opp BA

Needs to develop a better swing and miss pitch. I don't trust pitchers that can't K at atleast a 7.5/9IP clip.

 

[Howie115]

Tigers win on a walk-off bunt. From John Hicks, of all people.

Chad Bell brought up and he bombs. Like I said before, no help in Toledo.

But hey, at least Barbato got through an inning unscathed.
