I also like the fact KC that Buerhle has 24 pitches. Hopefully we can knock him out early on.

Anyone who can see the game.....is Max hitting the spots Avila is setting up?

Cause while he's doing okay, GameDay makes him look wild as all hell.

He's getting good movement on his pitches, and getting the low and outside strike calls. Command seems to be good, but this ump has a strange strike zone.

So what is the story behind Young playing so deep in LF all the time. Just Curious.

Did our Tigees actually get a little break on that inning ending out call?

they might have high throw and looked like rios was already in there.

another one or two innings like that would be nice,

maybe he doesn't go back on fly balls that well, he seems to be a bit of an adventure out there,

The question is: How bad will it come back to hurt us later, cause these things usually tend to even out.

better command than some recent starts so far.

Tigers currently have 4 2nd basemen on the roster.. Rhymes, Guilllen, Santiago and Raburn. Or only 1 true 2nd baseman.. But I hope Guillen is done for the season..

re: young in the outfield: he blows on defense. he's slow and takes abysmal routes.

 

[tigermud]

That was mighty generous of the score keep to give cringer a hit on that. good throw woulda had him but hey he's up to .187 C'Mon inger .200 or bust!

He has a rocket arm though..

He needs one as slow as he gets to the damn ball.

Wow K's him on a 98 MPH Fastball.

Did not think Max got up that high, thought he was a 94-96 guy.
