Martinez Legs are shot.. I sure hope he recovers next season or his contract will be just another bad DD contract..

cmlfactor · Aug 30, 2015

Oh yay. Another day another Tigers game to suffer through. Wonder which Big Pasta will show up today....

I would shelf him for the rest of the season, to be honest. It's obvious the team isn't going anywhere. Even with Miggy back in the lineup it's been a shit-show. The most rest and rehab time he can get would be ideal.

2 dingers already. oh my.

This pitching staff is horrendous with location. Doesn't matter who the catcher is if they can't locate.

tomdalton22 · Aug 30, 2015

lol....4-0 already. Simon has given up 3 hits...all HRs!

tomdalton22 · Aug 30, 2015

Wouldn't Ausmus have to fire Jones.. That would be funny, sorry Jonesy and then next day he gets canned.

We get it, the players. But he's a horrible coach. Just downright horrible

lonesometiger · Aug 30, 2015

We all new it was going to get ugly some day, but this many days and this soon. Wow if this some thing that can happen with Cabrera healthy and still early in a long contract then o boy what can happen latter?

Simon is another one who needs to be gone next season. What a disaster this pitching staff is.

yes...he has been bad. Maybe he needs to be in the pen.

The starting staff is going to look pretty weak next year.

Here are the current options

JV
Sanchez
Lobstein
Farmer
Boyd
Norris

They can't go into the season with 5 of those as their starters but they can't afford to sign a really good pitcher.

I see another last place finish next year.

He is a Free Agent and probably was gone anyways.

Issue is we traded a MLB starting SS for him. A MLB starting 2B for Anthony Gose.

Will Fulmer be ready next season? I thought he was a highly regarded prospect as part of the Cespedes trade.
