Tigers Hitters vs. Norris.

Avisail Garcia is up from Triple-A Toledo, but not starting against Houston ace Bud Norris. Don Kelly starts in center, flanked by Andy Dirks and Torii Hunter. Alex Avila moves up to the sixth spot with Andy Dirks leading off.
Jason Beck

Avisail Garcia will get plenty of work in CF. Leyland said he wont move Hunter over to Center.

Of course kelly gets the first no ajax start. At least hes hitting 8th.

Donnie Freaking Kelly starting in centerfield, the stuff of Rogo's worst nightmares come to fruition...:hehe:

Al Kaline says Done Kelly is the 3rd best outfielder on this team...I assume he means glove. None of the other guys are worth a damn with their gloves either. They are all just average.

Jackson and Hunter are not just average.

Jackson and Hunter are not just average.

I'm not talking about those 2. I meant once we get to talking about who is 3rd best and beyond.

 

[Rebbiv]

Dirks, Kelly, Tuiasosopo, Garcia, Berry and Castellanos.

Kelly is probably the best of this group, defensively.

 

[spockmaster]

Groasman really is the new punto, what an annoying little shit.

Nice first inning for Anibal, now hopefully the offense will remember these are the Houston Astros

 

[Thumb]

Homerun in any other park in the world.

 

[manchild98]

Nice defensive play by Miggy to end the inning.

 

[manchild98]

Little Altuve just collided with the right fielder and they drop the ball. Little dude seems like he got his bell wrung...side of the face by his ear.

EDIT: He's coming out of the game.

Come on, this is Bud Norris, not Chuck Norris.

 

[manchild98]

What was that....your everday 7-3 double play.

Talk about some shit luck, put the hit-and-run on to avoid the DP and lineout into one anyways.

 

[jas5lf]

Nice throw Alex....lol...

 

[manchild98]

The one knock on Hunter may be his poor decisions on throws.

 

[Thumb]

Wow that was a terrible throw Torii

 

[jas5lf]

At 10-28, you might as well steal every bag especially when Avila can't throw anyone out.

It's not all on Avila, when the pitcher isn't holding guys.
