Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

Tigers go 86-76 and win by two or three over the Sox - just enough hitting, just enough pitching to get by. Because of injuries, pitching issues and lack of home field advantage, the Twins get off to a bad start and are one of MLB's biggest disappointments.

You'll have to reset your Bullpen Disaster Count. :p

And just for BB- Granderson's first Yankee AB goes yard against Beckett. Yeah, he sucks. (Of course he was only 1 for 4 with another great catch in CF, but he did K and end the game.) :rolleyes: But then again, Austin Jackson is going to be ordained ROTY.

What's the over/under on the number of Inge Ks with runners on this year?
 
Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

Laird and Inge have combined to kill 3 innings. :rolleyes:

And Verlander has a hard-on about throwing fastballs to the fat retard Billy Butler. Yeah, that ended well.

I never pay any attention to Spring Training, but I'd have to guess that you do. Did Avila do anything wrong to not start above Laird, or is it just the veteran getting seniority over the kid? After the way the last month of last season ended, it was clear that Avila deserved to start over Laird.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

I do, but I do so in a different manner. I keep my ears on the prospects, and don't pay much attention at all to our major league starters unless there's really something worth mentioning.

I don't think Avila was even considered for the starting job. Twelve months from now we're looking at a completely different story. Laird is a superior defensive catcher at this point in time, and I guess that takes precedent over his (numerous) shortcomings at the plate. I also think Laird had one more year on his deal, but I'm not 100% on that.

I still think Avila could be the starting catcher by the time we get to Labor Day.

Be very careful about what you see in September. It can be very deceiving.

Oh, and Polanco: HR, 6 RBI today. I still contend that we should have offered him arbitration and let Sizemore hit in Toledo until we're sure he's ready. We could have dealt Polanco in June or July had Sizemore forced our hands, similiar to what Chase Utley did to Polanco when Philly shipped him our way.

Jones and Rodney were always a little shaky, but at least they never forgot how many outs there were.

But who cares now, 1-0, tied for first in the division!!!!!!

Exactly. Sure could use him in the lineup, especially since the bottom third of the order is so pathetic.

The bottom of the lineup is full of streaky bats. It seems like if they all streak at different times maybe we will come out okay, but you just cant bank on that.

The lineup looked good yesterday against one of the best pitchers in all of baseball, but we're going to need a large sample size before drawing any conclusions.

Was I living under a rock? I had no idea Max Scherzer even existed, let alone a starting pitcher. Why haven't I heard anything about him?

He's reputed to be the ingredient that makes the Granderson trade a no-brainer (basically in exchange for Edwin Jackson; we'll see how that works out).
Is it just me, or have the Tigers been off a couple weeks now since game one?
 
Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

It's not just you. I've had to listen to the Houston broadcasters do the Astros-Giants game today just to get my fix until tonight. I'll tell you what, I'd much rather have Dickerson and Price.

Big game today as far as this series is concerned. If Scherzer can turn in a decent outing, we'll be fine. Remember, we've got Dontrelle going tomorrow, since Bonderman is serving a 3-game suspension for dotting a White Sox hitter last fall.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

Avila is in tonight's lineup, per Tom Gage.

CABRERA!!!​

Big boy fouls off about 36 pitches and then bonks one off the foul pole in right field with 2 outs in the 9th.

1-1, top 9

Great, a point for a tie and Mags, Cabrera and Inge coming in the derby to decide things. Oh wait, baseball actually does things in a sensible manner sometimes. :D
 
Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer

Could you imagine if we had a homer hitting contest, and we had to throw to the other team's hitters.

1) Maggs
2) Cabrera
3) Inge

And Zumaya pitching to the opposition?
