How Bad Do The Tigers Suck?

[Gulf of Brazil]

How many times did Ricky P. have QS in 22/34 in any year ?

Smitty, I'm sure you would be giving the ol' stink eye on the above. Simon had 22/34 GS as QS in 2014 and 3 of those in the 2nd half were oh so close to being a QS.

So, here's your boy's QS in GS

2014.......... 20/31 with 1 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <
2013.......... 18/30 with 4 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <
2012.......... 13/31 with 4 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <
2011.......... 19/31 with 2 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <
2010.......... 13/27 with 1 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <
2009.......... 11/21 with 7 games of 5.0 to 5.2 IP and 3ER or <

BTW, what GM trades away a 26 year old pitcher who had 180 GS from 2009 through 2014 and then goes and trades for a 34 year old pitcher who only had 51 GS prior to 2015 AND 34 of those GS came in 2014.

I hated the trading away of Ricky P. ........... period...........

Cespedes has a great arm in the field and runs well to get to balls in play but he's a free swinger who lacks to drive the ball to the opposite field..

Alex Wilson I like.... a lot..... but NOT at the expense of no longer having Ricky P.

Firing Ausmus at this time isn't going to do much good outside of using him as a scapegoat. Yes, he's made many poor choices from our perspectitive. Firing him now could honestly back-fire for the young kids like Iggy, JD, Gose, McCann, Wilson, Hardy, Greene IMO. Maybe the real firing should have been PC Jones.

Gardenhire coming in as a temporary replacement is highly unlikely at this juncture of the season. Furthermore, having a week or even 10 days to see how a new manager can get this same roster to respond differently to the positive seems more in line with hope than wisdom. all jmho.

The #4 and #5 SP surely haven't lived up to what DD was hoping for nor has his choices panned out for the good with the BP. Nathan and Soria both had proven experience that they were worthy of signing and trading for. Many in here may not have made those choices but that's easy hindsight.

JV has had many good IP since coming back, however, we as fans mostly look back to his horrible 1 IP of 3 of his 6 outings to date. Where was the help JV needed and should have had to secure wins in (3) of his starts ?

I know JV pitched well in his 3 NDs. He could be 3-3.

I also know that the collapse in his previous start (the Tigers blowing a 6-1 lead in the 9th) seems to be something the team can't shake.

DD fucked up. But, I'd still like to see Ausmus go.

I'm sick to listening to Ausmus apologists. He fucked up by removing Sanchez in the ALDS, and he fucked up by having Perez batting with the season on the line.

don't mistake me for one of the apologists for Ausmus or DD... you'd be highly mistaken..

He fucked up by removing Sanchez in the ALDS

that is for damn sure.. that wasn't simply a scratch my head moment. It was a beer mug throwing contest.

he fucked up by having Perez batting with the season on the line.

did you have to go there as a finale....

I liked both of those acquisitions at the time they were made. Bitching at DD for either of those is definitely 20/20 hindsight.

Ermmm, Ricky P. is 5-10 with a 5.79 ERA this season. Some of that is Fenway Park Factor, particularly the 18 HR allowed (as much as any full season since his rookie year), but not all of it. His groundball rate is down. And his ERA at Fenway (4.70) is actually lower than his season ERA. No, Ricky has not been very good at all this season.

 

[JV35]

Is Greene stinking up the joint. What a piece of shit.

The implications of the Lobstein injury are glaring.

 

[JV35]

The Tigers are a piece of shit. Feliz is a piece of shit.

Trade the whole team, fire DD and Ausmus, and euthanize Ilitch.

It's finally time.

Fuck the 2015 Tigers.

After tonight's game, I've finally seen it all.

Bail, bail, bail.

it was over long before tonight...

but I bet you're back tomorrow in HIGH HOPES they'll turn it around... somehow

 

[Iffster]

''Fire Leyland''....''Fire Ausmus''...''Fire the Next Guy''. The Tiger fans never ending chant

 

[Iffster]

Whatever happened to the guy who liked pink bunnies and Brennan Boesch? I forget his name.

 

[broncosmitty]

Brads Post Game is humorous.

Do you think Feliz was tiring after 30 pitches?

"No, he was pitching fine."

Hahaha. Gutierrez would agree.

Ricky's ERA in a Tigers uni this year is ZERO. I can only dream of what he could have done with a full season of Iggy and Gose behind him.

I hate that trade. Cespedes can't get off this team fast enough for me.

But like I said, I like Wilson, a lot. And I'm glad Ausmus didn't bring him in tonight. Or the Tigers might have won. Which would be counterproductive at this point.

Do you have a chair and smoke a stogey like Archie Bunker?

 

[Rex Racer]

Cheer up fellas, they are better than the Red Sox!

not really by all that much

I'd take your farm system right now in a pinch

 

[JV35]

Do you have a chair and smoke a stogey like Archie Bunker?

Only when I watch the road games on FSD.

For the home games, Me & Da Meathead & Da Dingbat & Gloria all got season tix to Comerica.

DD destroyed a great pitching staff and really has nothing to show for it.... I think he outsmarted himself thought he could put some pieces together like Simon and Green and they are terrible...... Fister and Ricky would both make this team a lot better and what we got for them we would not miss......

Very true.

DD has got to be one of the most over-rated GMs of all-time.
