So...........we're going up against a guy who's 4-14 with a 5.56 ERA.......in AAA.
He's going to throw 7 1/3 of 2-hit ball. You watch.
You forgot the part where Porcello goes 4 1/3 and gives up 5 runs on 9 hits.

These guys, dare I say it, look like a playoff team.

Stop it. I've done that in the past and it bit me squarely in the 'cheeks.
Remember, earlier this week the Twins made the Orioles look like a playoff team. We do that.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Porcello was atrocious in the first two innings and got bailed out by a terrible team. It was nice to see him settle down and finish with a quality start though.
Originally posted by dicaslover Yep, you got it. I heart Maize.

And then the Detroit media whines about how he got no run support.
Funny you should mention that. Karsch and Anderson looked up the stat on what starter gets the most run support. You guessed it, leading the pack with Scherzer next, then Verlander, then Penny. Not enough starts to rate Fister yet, but based on this four starts, he wouldn't overtake Porcello.
But, like MaizeRage said, Porcello gutted out a good performance based on 3 dp's, including that gift to the mound to start the 1-2-3 with the sacks juiced. The lineup is contributing offensively up and down, the defensive mistakes have been limited and the bullpen looks solid. I just wish the Skip would go for the jugular in the close games, though. Playing not to lose right now will not work.
