some good stuff here. She did miss his last start when he gave up 4 earned runs and took the loss.

I honestly hope they trade him this off season. I don't want him on a $400-500M contract when he is on his decline.

The Detroit Tigers entered the All-Star break with MLB's best record — but a bullpen problem looms large. On this week's episode of Days of Roar, Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold breaks down Detroit's first-half performance, including a season-worse sweep by the Seattle Mariners. If the Tigers want to win the World Series, adding an elite swing-and-miss reliever is essential. We discuss the big names on the trade market.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

Now that the All-Star Game is over, the Detroit Tigers move into the 2nd half of the season.
In the first couple weeks of July, we started to see some cracks in the roster emerge. In a long season, we have to expect that they won’t get better without some attention paid to fixing them. The goal is to make it to October – and deep into the month.
So what do the Tigers need to address this month by the trade deadline? I’ve got my top 5:

Suarez practically begging for a trade makes me want that to happen for the right price.

 

[biggunsbob]

That is not a strike to Spencer . Come on ump.

 

[gotime909]

Great eye by spencer to lay off some of those.

 

[biggunsbob]

frustrating. . Tork tries to steal second and is thrown out.
I think ball was in the dirt. I missed it.
Vierling singles right after. Steals 2nd.
Perez k’s
Dingler soft fly out to cf.

 

[gotime909]

Outside of tork, the rest are just swinging at everything.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cleveland is crushing the A’s 8-2

 

[biggunsbob]

That is a catch.

That is bullshit.

 

[biggunsbob]

These umps are ****ing bad.

Ump has action on the game.
Doesn’t excuse JB’s bad throw to 1st.

Inning should be over.
3 outs missed.
Greene’s catch.
Runner out of the base line JB’s attempt at a tag.
JB’s throwing error.

Strike three ! Olson bares down.

 

[biggunsbob]

It is ridiculous that baseball does not review plays like that .
You should not have to challenge that big of a miss.

 

[biggunsbob]

Is every tiger hitter just guessing ? They are all
Taking a third strike.
