It will be interesting to see if there are any lingering resentments from the red sox and if any Tigers batter is going to get drilled because of Valdez's tantrum and unable to conceal his pitch grip and delivery.

The Tigers have help on the horizon, but they’ve got to figure out how to surve the next few weeks.

6 games = one start. For hitting Story in the back with a marshmallow.

I just don’t understand Jung being recalled ? Why not try Anderson?
Or someone else. I hope I shame that shit-stained hitter into doing something good at the plate because we really need a jolt at the plate.

On cue .
Jung leaves based loaded. Damn it this team just can't score with 2 outs.

Hinch was essentially playing peacemaker from everything that I saw. MLB isn't really interested in fairness as much as they are in posturing.

Most of the lineup has been around for the last three seasons, and it is pretty clear that they just don't grasp the idea of situational hitting.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lol
Jack hits a batter on a 1-2 count. Now he has a mess.

 

[nydo77]

After two very strong innings, I hope Flaherty doesn't become too unraveled after the first two batters got on.

 

[biggunsbob]

This team is terrible in the field.
23rd ranked fielding team.

 

[biggunsbob]

Being swept by the Red Sox is inexcusable. We are suddenly a really bad team.

 

[jas5lf]

Jack Fvckery strikes again.

Not that suddenly. We were a really bad team for most of the second half of last season.

 

[biggunsbob]

Team can't get out of its own way. Vielrling tries a hustle double gets thrown out.
Tigers get two hits after that.
Can't drive them in with 2 outs.

For starters Keith should never be playing third base, he’s too clunky there

 

[tigermud]

Left on base kings of the majors!

 

[tigermud]

Message to the tiger brain trust colt Keith is NOT a third baseman! This why didn’t really want to see Torres back cuz Keith needs to go back to 2B full time, quit f’n around!

 

[biggunsbob]

Routine grounder and Keith botches it..

This is the Harris plan.
Players that can play multiple positions. Most not very well.
