Hey Avila , you ever hear of trying to frame a pitch ? Seems like none of our catchers ever do this , its so annoying

Tigers Lineup?
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Alex Avila, C
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Victor Martinez, DH
5. Justin Upton, LF
6. Mikie Mahtook, CF
7. Andrew Romine, 3B
8. Tyler Collins, RF
9. Jose Iglesias, SS
LHP Daniel Norris
Bench: C James McCann, OF J.D. Martinez, 3B Nicholas Castellanos, IF Dixon Machado.

Nicholas Castellanos getting 2 days off to 'reset'.
Tuesday's 0-for-4 dropped Castellanos' average to .220 and his OPS to .677, 150 points below his rate last year. The 25-year-old has 10 doubles, three triples and four home runs, but with 53 strikeouts, he has struggled to take advantage of batting second in front of Miguel Cabrera in Detroit's batting order.

The Tigers will play four games in a 48-hour span coming up this weekend (Thursday night in Houston, followed by a doubleheader on Friday in Chicago and then a afternoon game Saturday).

After the last game of the season? No doubt, Avila will give him a 2 year extension.:no:

 

[tigermud]

I think they should go back to a final two instead of three

What are the tigers at now four loses in a row? Five after tonight..

Oh three it says..I can see them losing all four here then 3 of four in Chicago No problem

Did Iggy get punched in the face, there is a big mark next to his left eye

 

[kalinecountry]

Time to give Iglesias a couple of days off too...

 

[nsonnett14]

Just can't get anything going grrr

 

[nsonnett14]

Norris having a very solid outing , i think this year is a big learning year for him and going forward he is gonna take that next step !!

 

[tigermud]

There are six guys in the lineup hitting under .250 it's amazing they have any runs at all
