4-0. That was quick.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

It's the Twins. WE spontaneously combust.

Miggy runs right through a stop sign at 3rd and scores.
Does he get fined for something like that, or do they let it slide because he scored?

Sounds like Rondon has good numbers in Toledo. The point of the article is: Rondon is the only viable alternative to Valverde as a closer; and, we won't know how good he is if he's left in Toledo, where apparently he's too good.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition
Two roster moves today, with one more to come soon:
Sanchez and Avila to the DL. Garcia and Bryan Holaday called up. Another move to come when it's Sanchez' turn in the rotation, because Alvarez will start in his place.
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition
Well Valverde was terrible again and I don't blame people for being mad, even though the game was lost anyway.
I think they have given up on his splitter and if he continues to throw it he bound for a couch, but if he can master the fork ball which he threw today a couple of times for strikes and swing and misses, maybe, just maybe he's not a lost cause. I'd certainly prefer he mastered this new pitch in the minors but I doubt that can be done.
His leash is getting much shorter for sure.
A bigger problem is the continuing issues with the bullpen. We have two viable pitchers out there. Albuquerque is not doing well at Toledo and neither is Villereal. The guys they are bringing up are not major league ready, and though they have talent, are getting taken advantage of. They did a double steal on Reed today on his very first pitch. ! I'm sure the phone lines are being burned up about now. Even if we did score only three runs.
BTW I think Chris Davis is juicing.
