Surprise! Brad goes back to McCann vs a RHP that dominates righty's.

This year's splits vs Griffin

Righty's have hit .194/.291/.273 for a .565 OPS

Lefty's have hit .276/.343/592 for a .935 OPS

So basically based on these splits he's sitting Miggy(.934 OPS) for Aviles(.531 OPS).

oh sure why not, Daily dose of Brad Logic, McCann vs rights because maybe the result will be different against a guy that really dominates rights

ahh well, I've just learned to accept that he's not too bright. Projection, the Tigers will win today despite brad and finish the road trip 2-4 and i'm not watching most of it.

Stop chasing the high fastball tigers, they was doing that last night to, all three batters chased high fastballs in the first, hope that crap stops here now

8 pitch 1-2-3 for fulmer in the 1st ..nice

Kinsler chases the high fastball again uggg..I'll leave now so they knock it off

Fuck it, I'm going golfing

Tigers with a little uprising here in the 6th now two outs and Brads auto out Right batting McCann up! And My goodness if he did not get a hit 3-0!

Lettuce just can't hit a change up. McCann heating you verses Rhp!!! Brads a genuis!!!

Tigers doing a good job of trying to salvage this road trip. Rangers are a damn good team.

PC 65 after 6 for Fulmer. Boyd pitched great last game. Too bad tigers spend money on broken down Zimmerman. And Sanchez can't get it together and what a poor pickup in pitiful!
Any ways Tigers hit some runs home with Kinsler 22 and J.D. 15 going deep to give Fulmer a 6 run lead now 6-0 Hold them Michael.

Fulmer has been awesome.

Too bad LAA can't hold a lead.

Rangers fans must be going nuts!

Back to back shut outs.

Nice way to finish a series...complete game pitching performance and the offense showed up. And we beat a playoff team on the road.

This was Fulmer’s first appearance in the ninth inning as a major league starter. He complete eight innings on July 17. He also threw his major league high for pitches with 112.
It’s Fulmer’s first career shutout.
Fulmer is the first rookie pitcher to reach 10 wins this season. (We might not care about wins but RoY might!).

J.D. Martinez’s seventh-inning home run was the 100th of his career.

The Tigers’ 1 (Kinsler), 3 (Miguel Cabrera), 4 (Victor Martinez) and 5 (JD Martinez) hitters each homered.

The back-to-back shutouts here in Texas are a first: Tigers have only had 15 shutouts in 44 years here ...and never in consecutive games.

Looking away seems to have worked again! Fulmer complete game shutout to boot wow. Still five back though damit. I'd like to see Brad have a leyland moment and just say I'm the manager and I'll set the lineup and play who I damn well decide, if fans don't like it that's fine but tough shit! Guy needs more spunk

Fullmer is the clear leader for AL ROY. Kid looks like a future Cy Young winner. What a pickup.
