LOL Tooey good eyes tonight.

Well the silver lining is that we're done going west this year already.

Dickerson and Price mentioning it's a forgone conclusion Tigers will make a roster move for a fresh arm before Cleveland series, wonder who it will be?

It probably doesn't really matter, I'll guess Luke p returns

might as well be Rondon,

Yeah, Bevis still having issues with BB's though he's still K'ing guys at a good clip, I'd rather not see him yet.

Marte has been unimpressive.

My guess would be Rondon or Putkonnen again, neither idea is comforting.

Of Cabrera's now 12 games of 5-plus RBI, only twice has he done that without homering. Four times with two, one with three.

Bunting with 2 outs Andy....ffs

When can we play Houston again?

Bunting with 2 outs Andy....ffs

3pitch k to end the shut down, maybe dirks should be sent down to, let tut play left, and make alex the new backup catcher...

Following tonight's game, the Tigers optioned RHP Evan Reed to Triple AAA Toledo.

 

[gotime909]

Well we made Texas blow their first save today...

 

[turok]

Well that series really sucked hard.

Still ~3/4 of the season to go, plenty of time to fix the BP and perhaps tweak the roster prior to the trade deadline, IF the Tigers brass deems it necessary, that is. But with the recently added WC slot there might well be more teams that will be buyers than sellers. Like 'em or not, Leyland & Co. ain't going anywhere unless maybe if the team was to go into a very deep swoon, ala the angals and falls far out of contention, but being in AL Central, that is probably very unlikely.

Miguel Cabrera is the 23rd player in history to go 4-4, with at least 3 HR, 5 RBI, but the first player of that group to lose the game.

Following tonight's game, the Tigers optioned RHP Evan Reed to Triple AAA Toledo.

Prior to Tuesday's game at Cleveland, the Tigers will recall RHP Luke Putkonen from Triple A Toledo.

Lol of course they did, he didn't give up enough runs tonight

 

[kalinecountry]

2012: .304, 8 hrs & 34 RBIs.

After 42 games in 2012: Cleveland 24-18 and Tigers 20-22.

After 42 games in 2013: Cleveland 25-17 and Tigers 23-19.

Also...Phil Cuzzi can choke on a dick. First he allows a 5- minute conference call on the mound then a few bullshit strike-3 calls.

 

[spockmaster]

i ****ing hate texas. give them back to mexico.

 

[spockmaster]

When can we play Houston again?

srsly. take out our 2 houston series, and we're under .500 at 17-18. this team is continuing to prove to be frustratingly mediocre.

 

[Mitchrapp]

So our best 3 starters get smashed but Porcello is solid? That seems odd.
