I hope JD continues to play as well. Baseball seems to always find that story of 'a guy' that ends up on a team where he clicks.

Maybe JD is just on the mother of all hitting streak I ask for every Christmas. Or he is a tad older. Or he has professional hitters around to watch, question, and learn how to become a professional hitter. I cannot imagine having Cabrera, Martinez, and Hunter as veteran teammates.

That was a great game to watch last night. I actually think I enjoy watching a guy pitch to contact more than a guy piling up the k's. Porcello is on fire right now. Happy for him.

CONN CHRIS · 07-02-2014, 03:33 PM

Wow, and I thought Detroit had a horror show for a bullpen.

Come to town anytime A's!

CONN CHRIS · 07-02-2014, 03:45 PM

Being up 9-2 is great but it is troubling to see Verlander continue to struggle. He won't get out of this many jams with so little damage most outings.

Airdrop01 · 07-02-2014, 03:55 PM

Man, could the Tigers possibly be a more streaky team? I think not.

Having grown so accustom to 6 from the started, followed by the setup's setup, setup, then closer, I had forgotten the impressiveness of a complete game. One where the started has to face a batter 4 times rather than 2.

As you stated, Porcello is on fire.

I cannot remember any team that had a season like this. While I watched the ugliness, I never calculated nor thought of its length until reading a story today. Crazy.

They need Windex - stops streaking.

CONN CHRIS · 07-07-2014, 08:38 PM

I haven't seen much in the rumor department for deadline trades. Maybe the 'plan' is just to hope that Hanrahan is major league ready by then.

cephasjames · 07-07-2014, 08:40 PM

Joaquin Benoit has been a potential trade target. That's one rumor I've heard.

DamPenguin · 07-08-2014, 07:33 PM

I was going to put the game on until I saw it was already 5-0 before the Tigers even come to bat... well I hope when I wake up tomorrow I'll see the box score to see the Tigers pull off a great come from behind victory!!!

They have gotten all five back and are still at it with the bases loaded in the second!

Just keep Coke tied up somewhere and all will be well.

Good job Tigers, way to stick it to the doggies!

Have to love it when a wish comes true!

gbwitheyes · 07-10-2014, 10:37 PM

Eight runs in the fifth? The Tigers have been putting together some softball like innings.

CONN CHRIS · 07-12-2014, 05:44 AM

These high scoring games had made me forget about heart attack Joe. He's back.

gbwitheyes · 07-12-2014, 10:40 PM

When the Tigers picked up JD I thought hmm another sixth outfielder that we will see now and then as injuries dictate.

After the HR-launch-athon he had in Toledo I thought hmm it is the son of Dave Kingman.

Whether it is the day to day playing, being around some great hitters to watch and learn, or just a change of scenery, whatever the reason I'm glad JD is a Tiger. Especially with Victor out.

gbwitheyes · 07-15-2014, 09:00 PM

Miggy showed why he has been the MVP. Man did he turn on the inside fastball. I have no idea how he pulls his hands through like that.
