Alex is a tough mf'er

Whatever we're paying Avila, 5x as much would not be enough.

Beast at the plate, and takes a beating behind the dish.

That was scary, can we please get a backup catcher

 

[tigers99888]

Avila needs a rest from catcher soon..

Inge.

 

[jdbaker1]

What happened?

 

[dpinsea]

Anyone else think Inge looked like he wanted no part of coming in for Avila?

I'm going to hit you.

Verlander 2nd inning,

kotchman fastball inside, fastball strike call on the corner, swings and misses fastball, fastball high, curve grounded to Santiago,

upton fouled off of Avila and oh crap he falls back and is looked at immediately by Kevin Rand the Tigers trainer, replay looks like it hit him under the mask, God Alex is taking a beating with all these games and fouls off of him, and Verlander throws a high fastball near upton's head, purpose pitch, 97 is fouled back, curve is outside, swings and misses a slider,

fuld strike call, swings and misses and the bat slips out of his hands, curve on the corner strike three,

Verlander with 27 pitches,

I like the strike calls that JV is getting on the outside corner from this ump,

Tigers lead 2 - 1.

Well at least until September he's the backup

 

[jdbaker1]

2-0 M's, Wells with a run scored after a hbp

Carmona with about 56 pitches after 2. The indians have like 1 day off in about 1 1/2 months, their bullpen is going to be shot if they can't get the starters to last about 7 innings.

I doubt they would start him at catcher though. Didn't he throw a fit after they made him catch the last time?

I know, but you don't have to keep reminding me.

I'm trying to repress the idea.

No they won't start him but as an emercency replacement, yeah.

 

[jdbaker1]

It would be nice if BB could get hot soon. If he AA, Young and Cabrera are all hitting at once the Tigers will score some runs.

 

[tigers99888]

Young's slow ass was lucky..

 

[dpinsea]

wow, he should've been out by a mile... Bring him home Miggy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Young seems to slide late into 2nd. Lucky.
