Detroit Tigers 2016 Season Thread - Page 3

Justin Verlander makes me sad. Two years ago, the frequent Tigers day games were a treat. You either got JV, or Mister Fister, or Scherzer, or even Anibal Sanchez. Now it's all a mess.

Two more mess games for me this week

CONN CHRIS · 04-12-2016, 03:41 PM

The Lobster is still coming through for Detroit!

Westheim · 04-12-2016, 04:09 PM

And "Buck Farmer has yet to throw a strike"

TribeFanInNC · 04-12-2016, 04:54 PM

Ha, so much for hyping Nicasio...he was awful. Top of the Tiger lineup looks strong though! Hopefully they get it out of their system in the next 9 days before the Indians series

David Watts · 04-13-2016, 11:21 AM

So sad. My friend just sent me a text, Paul Carey passed away. One of the all time best. Heaven now has one hell of a broadcast team. Ugh! We are getting old. Too many of my childhood heroes are passing.

CONN CHRIS · 04-17-2016, 08:26 AM

The bullpen is really looking good. I am still skeptical about Rodriguez. An aging closer that doesn't throw gas has got to trend toward getting by on finesse and junk at some point. I don't like that equation.

CONN CHRIS · 04-17-2016, 05:59 PM

Pen was outstanding again today. Good game

CONN CHRIS · 04-17-2016, 09:54 PM

Ian Kinsler cunningly missed an easy popup on purpose | For The Win

This was pretty cool; I saw it live. It only got confusing on the broadcast because the announcers didn't understand the rule. Kinsler sure did. :-)

CONN CHRIS · 04-20-2016, 07:30 AM

Continued good offense, bullpen did well again. It's just tough to overcome a start like that.

a) I'm not sure why that was so confusing. I guess because baseball becomes so routine and that was not routine.

b) I'm not sure why that was a big deal. Sure, Rasmus is faster than White I would guess. But it's not THAT big of a deal. The WPA difference of this play is probably like 0.0001.

c) Like a lot of life, there is a slippery slope here. If this becomes the routine play (i.e. the defense starts choosing which runners it prefers), they will just institute infield fly for all situations.

I guess it gives us something to talk about anyway.

TribeFanInNC · 04-20-2016, 10:48 PM

K-Rod locking it down!!!

(at least he preserved the win for Zimm...lol)

CONN CHRIS · 04-21-2016, 07:39 PM

However low my expectations of Pelfrey were; I overestimated him.

CONN CHRIS · 04-21-2016, 08:00 PM

This is hard to watch. Inning and a third, 5 hits, 3 walks.

CONN CHRIS · 04-21-2016, 08:03 PM

Two incredible plays by Iglesias or this could easily be 6-0 rather than 1-0. Can't keep dodging bullets like this.

David Watts · 04-21-2016, 09:05 PM

Pelfrey is just awful. Man do we need Norris to get healthy. Right now, we better win when the first 3 pitch, because 4 and 5 are puss.

Yeah, the Indians have a similar problem. Cody Anderson was equally miserable today.

TribeFanInNC · 04-24-2016, 09:57 PM

Tough day for starting pitcher health at Comerica. Though your pitcher being hurt might be a net gain. Ours certainly is not.

Surprised Miggy got rested today. I know he's a little cold at the moment, but still. Also surprised in general that the Tigers offense looked mortal this weekend. Expected a few more runs.

CONN CHRIS · 04-25-2016, 05:47 AM

Happy that I was on a Boy Scout camping trip and missed the last three days.

David Watts · 04-26-2016, 09:49 AM

I see Zimmermann surrendered a run last night.....useless

TribeFanInNC · 04-26-2016, 10:39 AM

Cabrera also worthless. Glad he was "cold" in the Indians series. Oddly, his homers were in almost in the exact same spot.

Am I allowed to complain that Zimm doesn't K enough batters for my fantasy team? lol
