The Tigers need another starting pitcher. Right now, our rotation is David Price and a bunch of guys who suck. I THINK that Justin is going to get better...but how much better and how long is it going to take? Sanchez is getting better, but how much longer can he be healthy? The Tigers need to grab someone up as a rental and make a run, if possible, at a wild card. We've seen this team tear ass in the second half. They do it every year. They need another pitcher though. Do you think they'll trade Price before the deadline and bring in a few young pitchers or go out and get another starting pitcher like Cueto? |

Nobody expected him back within 2-3 games. 5-6 would be nice, but he's a bag of smashed buttholes so far, and not progressing at all. If anything, he will come around after 10-15, IF he can keep from screwing himself up from forcing things like is wont to do. He keeps trying to lean on the heater too much, and he's not 26 anymore....getting old sucks. A couple solid but not exceptional pitchers, would be a HUGE difference come late August, and lead to late fall ball. This business of bringing up kids that are still shitting Gerber products, and handing them the keys, isn't working. The usual tear ass in the second half, wont happen this year, unless DD gets on some different Meds. and gets out the check book. Who? Lord I dunno. The market is getting ugly and slim at this point. |

I was all  when he walked Cruz, and then about to lose it, when he threw that big, loopy, dripping, curve.
He had some sort of brain fart going on, and it was obvious. Something wasn't working. He rates to have an off day, but I just wish he picked better ones.

You're not seeing what I'm seeing then. The bright side is even when he's getting sloppy, he's still ahead of 7/8 of the rest, IF he doesn't push too hard. When his control is there, his slider splashes on the back corner of the plate consistently, and he isn't afraid to show it 2-3 times to the same batter, because there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. He's not there yet. It will come. |

Big win tonight!
A series win in Minnesota would not only put the Tigers in the second Wild Card, but it would also put them in second place in the AL Central. I still think a second half run is possible...but they need to either get a starter or have JV or Simon step up. |

Soria was definitely off tonight. He hung that curve like a painting. No excuse for hitting a batter or loading the bases. Brad waited too long, but then again, what are his options? The tool box is empty, and Soria on a bad night, is still a better option than anyone else in the Pen. All these Pen losses, belong to DD. |

I didn't expect them to lose. And I'll tell you something else; Alex is not as good as McCann as a catcher. He can't throw out runners and he doesn't call as good of a game. He blocks the ball better, but McCann nails runners trying to steal. I would go with McCann and put Alex at first until Miggy come back. |

The Kid can actually use a Bat as well. Alex has never hit worth a crap. Blocking is partly predictive. Knowing the Pitcher well goes a long way. JV's slider might as well be patented by John Deere. Alex knows the break, the Kid hasn't learned it. Given time, the kid is faster, and would be as good or better on the stops. It's funny. I thought Alex did a hell of a job at first, and seemed quite comfy there. 
After this abortion of a 9th Inning, fans will be calling for DD's head on a pike again. Mikey is shelling out a crapload of money, for lousy results. Let's see if he opens the wallet. |

3 attempts to steal since alex has been back, all were successful, his batting still sucks, McCanon really should be in there, i suspect they will trade him and yo off for some more useless bullpen fucks, DD can do this, do that, fact still remains, bullpen sucks, this year, last year and so on, we have and have had a world series winning team, but without a bull pen, that aint happening, i turned it off last night when i seen how rondone was throwing, didnt want that nightmare, but i had to find out, 8 to 6, tossed and turned all night, fucking DD and his worthless bullpen, no end it sight

LOTS of rumors flying concerning DD being on his last year, and the bang for the buck invested by the Ilitch family.
This CONSTANT problem with a shitty Pen, started last year, and after NaNa got the axe, DD did nothing to patch the leaky boat this year. Some interesting changes are coming. I'm figuring a Rent-a-starter and a third rate hack for the Pen will happen, but for the most part, DD is looking out for DD, and knows the writing is on the wall. We get solid talent from other teams, and they go to shit here, get traded, and they flourish again. It's systemic, and Toxic. It's not a player issue, the talent is all there. Utilization has always been, and continues to be the problem. |

We're screwed with giant contracts like with JV and such. It was a dumb fuck move to sign him so early after that MVP year. They could have waited a year or two to resign him. But nope, they did it right after that.
Did you know JVs massive new contract starts THIS year? Its not like they had to sign him that year. So we gave a dude a giant contract for shit he did in the past.and now, good fucking luck getting anything for him while still paying a huge amount of money. We have to hope a miracle happens and he becomes JV of old. But this sint the steroid era anymore. His body WILL continue to decline, not get better. |

He's still not even 90%, but the flashes of brilliance were there. He will recover, and probably recover stronger than he was before... Just a theory. He was having issues before the injury, and pushing things rather than relying on finesse. He's getting older. Some guys just push until they break, and are done, others push, break, and learn. This injury is forcing him to work on things he didn't want to, and I'm guessing he will change his approach mentally, and reserve the horsepower for when it's needed, instead of leaning on it constantly. IOW longevity now has a better chance. I hope so. JV is a sick animal when he's clicking, and we saw a little of that the other night. |

This injury is forcing him to work on things he didn't want to, and I'm guessing he will change his approach mentally, and reserve the horsepower for when it's needed, instead of leaning on it constantly. IOW longevity now has a better chance. I hope so. JV is a sick animal when he's clicking, and we saw a little of that the other night. I hope he gets his shit together. But lets not get carried about about ONE start. The dude has been okay at best, for the last couple years. |

We're screwed with giant contracts like with JV and such. It was a dumb fuck move to sign him so early after that MVP year. They could have waited a year or two to resign him. But nope, they did it right after that. Did you know JVs massive new contract starts THIS year? Its not like they had to sign him that year. So we gave a dude a giant contract for shit he did in the past.and now, good fucking luck getting anything for him while still paying a huge amount of money. We have to hope a miracle happens and he becomes JV of old. But this sint the steroid era anymore. His body WILL continue to decline, not get better. Jesus Christ, did you not see the guy's last start? 7 2/3rd's, 1 run, 4 hits, 6 strikeouts. He struggled a bit here and there, and each time, he corrected. He's still not even 90%, but the flashes of brilliance were there. He will recover, and probably recover stronger than he was before... Just a theory.

The fastball monsters lose action and control as they get older, because they are pushing it harder to maintain the velocity. He's headed that way. Not there yet. |

I hear that same shit every year for the past 2 or 3 years about how JV has to learn he can't throw the ball through a brick wall anymore. And has to learn how to beat batters by throwing deceptive curve balls, breaking balls, and all that stuff. Yet, all those years, he was still too hard headed to do that shit. I HOPE he has finally grown up and accepted that he isn't "young" anymore and is going to tried and truth pitching tricks. But I'm skeptical until we have more evidence. |

My 3rd unanswered post
JV said it was his fault and he's sorry. Then why doesn't he donate today's salary to the Soup Kitchen to prove it. He could feed lots of poor folk.

tigers are done for the year, there will be no wild card, unless the pitching staff, David Price excluded, wake the fuck up, I dont see this happening, maybe DD will pull a pitcher or 2 out of his ass for the end of the season

Let me get this straight. The Seattle pitcher is tough on right handed batters. They only bat 194 against him
So, AssMuch pinch hits for McCannon with AA, who was batting around 197 before the K
Do I have this correct
