Tigers:
AJax, CF
Kinsler, 2B
Miggy, 3B
VMart, 1B
Hunter, RF instead of JDMart because ?????
Suarez, SS
Holaday, C
Davis, LF
Verlander, P

Gibson's Scrappy Snakes™:
Not Jhonny Peralta, CF
Hill, 2B
Goldschlager, 1B
Montero, C
Dumbo Trumbo, LF (lols)
Parra, RF
Prado, 3B
Gregorius, SS
Nuno, P


Not sure why Hunter is getting the start over JDMart...probably the homer yesterday, I guess. Woo Ausmus logic. The lineup looks fairly weak from 5-9, but then again we're facing the D'Backs so its not like it has to be a strong one to win. Anyone think we'll sweep em?

Not gonna predict a sweep, but I sure hope we at least win the series. Sweeps are difficult even against mediocre competition.
 
Diamondbacks are tied for last in the MLB in the simple rating system (SRS) on baseball-reference.com
 
The Tigers have not played in Phoenix since May 2008. Who was a starting pitcher for Arizona back then?? Max Scherzer.
 
remember when everyone wanted Gibby to be the manager of the Tigers because Leyland didn't know what he was doing? I said it then and I will say it again now....in the long run his antics won't work with today's athlete.

I never wanted him. We can see how well it works for the dbacks heh.
 
Did not like Miggy's swinging strike three,

Verlander looked sharp that first inning,

Torii can "hack" at meatball fastballs like that any count,

So far ump isn't extending the outside corner with Righty batters.

Tonight's start for Justin Verlander is his 287th as a Tiger, tying him with Earl Whitehill for 8th in franchise history.
 
OK, good work there Rod, he called that one about 3 seconds before Jackson launched it.
