I might be able to catch the last couple innings I hope.
 
Ill be stuck at work the whole game again. Glad to see Ausmus paying attention to large-sample size platoon splits, as Collins has crazy reverse splits (like .976 OPS vs LHP in Toledo last year) and lefties tend to hit Vargas fairly well. I don't mind him making his debut in the 2-hole either, since he has a decent walk rate, unlike Hunter who has decided that walks are pointless the last few years.

Collins played in Erie last year and yes, he had an .953 OPS versus LHP. But he was more traditional in 2012 in Lakeland, with only .719 OPS versus LHP (.841 vs RHP).

I am hoping Collins gets more ABs than both Davis and Hunter over the year.
 
Erie, my bad. But yeah, I do too. He has more upside at this point if he proves he can hit up here.

I can see Davis but Hunter too?
 
Max is yanking the fuck out of the ball early.

He didn't say it was realistic but that he hoped he would. Hunter is old, Collins is young. If Collins is getting more that means he's producing.

Every Tiger fan should be hoping for it really.
 
Wow...swinging on a 3-0 pitch into a double play. There's your gift for the game.
 
Max gets out of a jam, DP with runners at the corners.

0-0 after half an inning

or it means Torii sucks. I want Collins to be successful but I want both to succeed.
 
why are we doing a reverse platoon with Davis and Collins?
 
Another 1-2-3 inning for the Tigers

0-0 after 2

Vargas @ 23 pitches
Max @ 26 pitches
 
Max appears to have found his arm slot after some horrid control in the 1st.
 
Royals go down 1-2-3

Max at 39 pitches through 3

0-0 after 2.5
 
We need hits.... Has Kinsler got a hit yet his year?

Time for a triple...
