Yeah, Picky, that is kind of my thinking in this that the Tigers would have been a more dominant team and would have done so a lot earlier.

04/17: Game 5 @ CAL: W4-2: Coleman got back on track in this one. Jason Thompson hit his first homer of the year. (Record: 3-2)

04/18: Game 6 @ CAL: W 7-5: Dave Roberts got the win, but he gave up 5 runs and 14 hits in 8 IP. Mickey Stanley hit a 3 run homer off of Frank Tanana for the win. (Record: 4-2)

04/19 Game 7 @ OAK: L 9-2: Ray Bare got bombed again. He gave up 8 runs (only 5 earned) and 10 hits in 2 2.3 IP. His ERA in 2 starts in 9.28. Something must be done! Perhaps we could try out that lanky kid from Mass.? Hmmm... (Record: 4-3)

April 19th, 1976: Well the phone finally rang. I knew it would. Poor Ray Bare. He’s going to find out what a sweat box Paradise really is. He’ll be crying to be sent to Hell (Mich.)! But I’m going to have some fun. I got the next start for the Tigers tomorrow in Oakland. Not too many big bombers on that team. Bunch of singles hitters. I just gotta stay in control. Bruce Kimm will be my catcher. I worked with him last year in the minors. He’s a good guy.

April 20th, 1976: First big league game, first big league loss. I told ya, those A’s will nitpick with their singles. I gave up 9 hits in 7 innings. One of the 4 runs I gave up was unearned. Bruce Kimm made a bad throw on a steal attempt by Garner. Man that Garner is one tough customer. I was mad at myself for giving up the hit. The ball just wouldn’t do what I wanted it to tonight. I’ll have to ask it more nicely next time.

04/20: Game 8 @ OAK: L 4-3. Fidrych was pretty mediocre in his first career start. Oglivie hit his 3rd homer to lead off the game. We had 10 hits, but could only muster 3 runs. (Record: 4-4, 3rd, 1.5 GB)
