Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
Where to start tonight. Winning run on wild pitch. Unearned run before that. Horrible base running. Untimely DP's and a useless blob playing first base. Sure I missed something. Need Scherzer and Verlander to be lights out in that $hithole.

Yeah, you did. As in 460....foot home run that is....not sure that one's come down even now....

Oh does that count more than a 320 ft HR? Big deal!

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
I'm convinced after watching this glaring lack of fundamentals and clutch hitting, the only way the Tigers win this series is if Verlander and Scherzer pitch exactly as they did their first 2 outings. Of course they each gave up 1 run with doulble digit K's and won neither game. I do like the lineup changes and hope that they tweek a little more this weekend as follows:
Hunter RF
Dirks LF
Cabrera DH
Martinez C
Peralta 3B or SS
Useless 1B
Jackson CF
Infante 2B
Iglesias SS or 3b

Martinez is having issues with that knee again. He's not even running right. He can't catch, unless there's an emergency and Lance Parrish, Bill Freehan and Matt Nokes are all crippled. If Avila can't go, it's Brayan Pena and go hide under the bed.

Say, this is nice.
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
Welcome to our world. I have no earthly idea how we're up 3-2 in a series where the Red Sox are being thoroughly outpitched.
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
* Sometimes also useless and dazed and confused at the plate and struck out around 20% of the time this year.
Why not Infante batting #2? And, Pena had a nice hit last night, how about him in the 2 slot? Because, Martinez is most likely not going to be catching. And, I highly doubt that Leyland is going to move Prince.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
Would be Ok with that. Actually wanted Infante to lead off when Jackson was slumping. As far as Vmart, his knees have been bad for a while. He caught several games in NL ballparks as late as the end of August. Now if he is physically unable since then, I get it. Don't know why he wouldn't move Prince when he has moved others. Get him out of cleanup just like getting Jackson out of leadoff. Maybe it clears his head.

Fielder is not hitting home runs, but he is hitting. I'm not down on him like some are. I would put the base-running mistakes squarely on Cabrera.
Dirks not only playing, but up in the order? you have to be smoking something.!
Not optimistic. winning on the road and at fenway is very difficult.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 6: The Al Kaline edition
In comparison to the other first baseman in the ALCS (Napoli) Prince is sucking wind.
Napoli: BA .375 OBP .412 SLG .875 OPS 1.287
Prince: BA .211 OBP .286 SLG .263 OPS .549 - he has only one extra base hit, a 2B in the game two loss, zero (0) RBIs
I'm not down on Prince, but he looks lost at the plate lately, and kind of nonchalant. If the Tigers are going to have a chance of winning tonight, he's going to have to pick up the slack like his teammate Victor Martinez has been doing.
VMart: BA .389 OBP .450 SLG .500 OPS .950
Don't know if that's possible for Prince--it looks as though he does not have a very good postseason track record.
Someone (or multiple someones), aside from VMart, is going to have to step it up tonight and not put the burden entirely on Max to pitch another gem.
Not that optimistic either.

Just saw a replay of that. That ball was f-ing pounded.
