I go back to my original question :
What's the point of getting David Price if your bullpen can't hold a lead? Three run lead and the bullpen pissed it away. Other teams go to their bullpen and the Tigers can't get a hit. The Tigers go to their bullpen and they can't get an out.

19 innings because there is no closer, and the Pen consists of losers that were a bargain.
This season is over. Sanchie is out, Soria is out, Miggy isn't hitting for shit, VMart is in a slump from hell, we don't have short stop or third bagger. Price will put butts in bleachers and sell jerseys...so DD wins. It's Barry Sanders syndrome all over again. |

DD doesn't seem to give a shit about the bullpen. Other than Joe Nathan, who has really got in the past since 2006 that was a lock down bullpen guy?
NOT A SINGLE FUCKING ONE. It seems like DD went to a baseball school that only fucking hitting and starting pitching matters.

JV seems to be getting his shit together, but is still subject to slips here and there. He starts sloppy, settles in, and then starts to gradually get sloppy again in the 6th or 7th, when the batters finally get his timing down and have seen his freakshow curve a couple times. Give him time. His mechanics changed with the surgery, and he's still fine tuning mentally. He can't just power through and overwhelm like he used to. Only 1 inning tonight. That should tell you about tonight s game And to bring up a question from the past. Did Tori Hunter really win Gold Gloves somewhere

So now the Tally is:
Sanchez out, Soria out, Verlander out, Miggy not hitting, VMart not hitting, bullpen looks like a dumpster fire behind an abortion clinic, and Ausmus wheels out this punk ass, non pitching piece of shit Whelan, so the Pirates can rack up a double digit score. After yesterday, call me jaded. After today, with this shit on display, call me friggin' hatefull. Dombrowski has shit all over this team and it's chances for Fall. Yep! David Price absolutely improved this team. |

Without Price the Pen would still blow goats, Nathan would still suck, Coke would still suck, Smyly wouldn't see the playoffs, and we would still be bitching about the lack of offense. 
Next year, he might be an asset and a change maker....if things don't melt down even worse. Our own division? Yeah, who cares. They aren't going further than division unless major changes are made to the Pen. Dombrowski shit the bed, the crew knows it, and it shows. This season is done, except for finding rookies on the Farm to bring up and then trade off. |

There is no telling in any year who is going to win at the start of the playoffs. If you make the post season, then you have a shot. If not, then you don't. Look at last year. Tigers should have won it all. They got creamed in the ALCS.

Got into another debat with that same analyst today. He said that the Tigers offense is not under performing because the wOBA (weighted On Base Average) was right where it should be for each player (only slightly below for most players).
I argued that getting on base is meaningless, run scoring is what is important and the Tigers run scoring against AL teams since the All Star Break (discounting the series against AZ and CO because...I mean come on!) the Tigers are scoring 2.9 runs per game. He essentially said that I am an idiot. |

You are arguing logic with an academic dumbass. There is a reason getting to second is much more advantagious than getting to first, which makes stolen bases worth the risk, and the reason for the Sac fly. Just getting on base, dosn't make "wins". Runs make wins, like we have seen all last season, and this one. If wOBA had any merit as a metric, the Tigers would be friggin' unbeatable. They strand more runners than anyone. Stranding runners on base, and a shitty pen that dosn't protect a lead in late innings is how you LOSE ball games, get eliminated in the playoffs, and lose the world series. We have seen that several times havn't we? 
Billy Butler has won how many world series? Fuck him and his Obamanomics Geek ball. |

Notice the aggressive base running by Pit early on? Advance to scoring position at every little opportunity and force the issue. Just getting runners on base is not enough. It leads to a LOT of double plays and stranded runners without aggressive running and hitting to back it up. Guess what changed from the first 30 games to now? Hitting has gone passive. Base running has gotten conservative. Nobody is stealing anything. That's a Management call. Brad initiated the aggressive stuff early on. Can't blame him. The hitting thing is all mental. The mood is flat, and it all goes back to motivation at this point. Just like last time the Pen was a loadstone. I'm hoping the homestand will spin thinga around a little, and the guys will try like hell to get as far as they can, with the scabtastic Pen dragging them down. I have given up on making the WS. At this point, I just want to watch good baseball without tuning in to somebody elses team. |

Not to mention that our pitching staff is like tumbling down a flight of stairs... JV doesn't have a clue what's wrong and is playing the diva part to a T lately... Can't expect minor league pitching to compete in the big leagues and when you have a very poor bullpen and a flat offense, we'll be lucky to end over .500.
I'd also like to add that when you have to bring a guy up from AA, you know your pitching is in trouble.

All angst aside, this Buck Farmer Kid has some chops. He got splattered pretty hard early on when the learning curve bit him in the ass, but he figured it out faster than JV has. 92mph Fastballs in the meat zone, end up on some kids shelf. I suppose the coaches tell them a dozen times, but they all have to learn the hard way. Call me impressed. The Kid held his own and then some. He's going to be an animal with some development time. The Bats woke up finally, and Pitt melted down hard with sloppy play. The Tigers still were not crisp. Better, but far from where they were just a couple months ago. |
