We're still missing one more toy: Rod Allen getting plunked in Japan, cattle rustling both teams into the outfield, then being unable to pick out who he was going after.

You can blame everyone except Sanchez, Downs & Villareal for this loss.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

... and that is why you hire a closer.

Sure. It's also why you need to score more than 2 runs to win a game.

It's the second time Dombrowski has done this. Trying to hand a job to a rookie without a Plan B.

You're not going to believe (or like) this.

Valverde signed to a minor league deal.

Thus,

"What goes around comes around."

1. The status eventually returns to its original value after completing some sort of cycle. (not sure what that original value would be)

or

2. A person's actions, whether good or bad, will often have consequences for that person. (yes, it will have consequences, but whether good or bad remains to be seen)
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

So the Twins have decided to hand this game to the Tigers. 2 unearned runs already. I thought we were strong with fundamentals, like throwing...
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Walking Cabrera to load the bases and face Fielder doesnt exactly give me a good feeling about this inning. :eek:

Eta. Took 3 relievers but they somehow escape giving up 0 runs.

Oh not only do I believe it but I've been expecting it. if Valverde really has re developed his splitter he can help us.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Fielder with a classy move wanting to give Hicks the ball from his first ML hit instead of giving it to the 1b coach.

8th inning kinda disintegrated on the Tigers.

I don't see any downside. The only commitment is for a minor league tryout, he either earns a spot or he doesn't.

I'm glad to see the Tigers getting this ugliness out of their system right now, a little motivation not to look past anyone going forward. I'm not too worried about losing an early April series when it's 40° outside etc. Plus it's fun to give some friends of mine who are Twins fans a little false hope about a division title before crushing their dreams again. :)
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

No Twins fans have an ounce of good expectations for this season. Any win is just a nice surprise. The Twins winning a series is a quandary that will not go unpunished by the Pohlad family tomorrow.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

It was a hard game to watch what with that infernal yowling in the back ground.

The tigers offense has been dormant for a couple of weeks now. And Fielder is pretty terrible right now. what does he have 1 hit all year so far?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need to put up a wall on the Ohio Border!!
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

I think we just broke another Yankee SS.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

This game is reminding me of all the games up in minnesota. score a couple early but end up losing.
