Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

[Hammer]

Doc Cramer was a Tiger from 1942-1948 and was a key member of the '45 World Champions. Forgotten career, as he had over 2,700 career hits and hit .296 lifetime.

HOMER LIGHT!!

Do not use until the other one gets to 1,000 and closes.

Twins then Royals this week for a full slate, no off days.

Mario and Rod had a good back and forth today about how Mayweather-Pacquiao may not be the only fight they see this weekend.

Random notes.

Milone is 3-0, 2.93 ERA in 5 starts vs Det.

David Price's favorite AL ballpark is Target Field according to his Twitter.

Price has already shutdown the Twins once this year, but it was opening day. 8.2 IP, 5 H, 0 R.

Alfonso Marquez and Tom Hallion working tonight's game. 3 outs into the game and we've already got a fiasco.

EDIT: That hit the bag. Hallion can't see that?

1 inning in and the Twins already matched their run total from last series.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Tremendous play there to turn the DP, but I think I'd seriously consider challenging that.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

A hit or two away from busting this thing wide open.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Holy God, I think he's safe. I think we're going to get buttholed, but I think he's safe.

[Hammer]

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Yup. Buttholed.

This is going to end up much closer than it needs to be.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Can we please at least wait until the pitcher goes into his motion before we take off for the next base?

[Hammer]

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Welp, we could only see this coming from a mile and a half away.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition



5-4 final.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

Yep... The entire bullpen is still my Tiger.

[Hammer]

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 8: The Doc Cramer edition

The thing is, we should have scored 8-10 last night, easily. We got gunned down TWICE trying to steal bases while the pitcher still had the **** ball.

Price wasn't the sharpest, and neither was the pen, but it never should have been that close to start with.

Some rough news this morning: Kirk Gibson has Parkinson's.
