Dear Mr. Allen:

A "clothesline" to home plate does not hop twice on the way to said home plate. That analogy was not exactly "country strong".

Respectfully yours,

Mmmmm....Shannon Hogan.

There needs to be more of her.

Jeff Baker has been traded to the Braves. Whether we traded him for a bag of Cheetos or Ruffles, that has not been determined.

Definitely Cheetos. Dangerously cheesy.

I don't think that Fielder is the guy you want to hit, even if you want to retaliate.

Bases loaded, 0 out. Let's see how we **** this away.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Holy ****. Delmon clears the sacks with a 3-run double.

As for getting thrown out at 3rd.....I, uh, didn't see that. I musta been looking the other way or something.

7-4, bottom 7.

Can't wait to see Albuquerque pitch, also seems Scherzer seems to making up for Verlander's average year. I dropped dirks from my fantasy team and picked up young.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Actually, Verlander's numbers, outside of his W-L, aren't much different than last year.

4-0 through 8. Scherzer gonna Scherzer.

Yeah, Verlander's down in the 40's in the AL for run support for starting pitchers this year. There's like 55 eligible for the stat.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Thinking about the changes in the coming off season and putting yourself in Dombrowski's shoes... Boesch has worked real hard to get better and he has. He takes more pitches, is more discriminating on pitches he swings at most of the time and is getting some big rbi's , Given that he has only been here really two or three years and one he was hurt, I think they will keep him. Valverde, I wonder who is out there who is better, that can be gotten. same for peralta. they need to find a good replacement.
thoughts?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Well, after that you know what three words coming next...

Verlander. Gonna. Verlander.

Tied at the top. I have no idea how.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Weird Verlander stat.

Small sample size, but the 28 leadoff hitters this year have a .769 slugging percentage against him this year.

Babe Ruth's career average was .690
