Down 4-2, Detroit reached into their heart and pulled out six more runs to defeat Minnesota 8-6. Justin Verlander settled down after allowing those initial four runs to earn his 11th win on the season. What a relief to have our ace healthy. Miguel Cabrera, bad ankle and all, drove in our 3rd run. Eugenio […]

Gordon Hayward, Damon Lillard, Kyle Korver, Chandler Parsons among final U.S. World Cup cuts – ESPN. “Maybe it kind of catches people by surprise. Yes he’s young, but a 7-foot, 280-pound guy who can run the floor the way Drummond runs and who protects the rim … when you describe all the physical attributes, that’s […]
Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers front-runners to add Cuban OF Rusney Castillo. Trust me. Boston is a flash in the pan every other year – Detroit will contend now and forever.

…and he has to take the loss! C’mon, Tiger bats!! Detroit squandered the gem of a performance, failing to score for Price in nine innings. A first inning error put a Ray on base, who scored on a triple to the wall that Torii Hunter seemed too lackadaisical on. After that, our boy Price did […]

He must have been distracted by my neighborhood’s noisy snarfs (damn kids!), too – the Rays achieved a three run first inning on one hit. After that, Max settled down, allowing only one run as he earned outs for seven total frames. Scherzer pitched the […]

Facing the so-called “King” Felix, Detroit drove the Mariners pitcher off the mound by making him throw more pitches in the first three innings (68/69) than he’d thrown all season. As David Price recorded outs, the Tigers struck first by scoring in the second inning. Eugenio Suarez beat out a grounder to […]

I like it – Sam Smith.
I think it’s all about the walk. Be patient and always work the count. It puts pressure on an opposing team’s pitch count and forces them to throw you a proper pitch, a strike, that you can then launch out of the ballpark. Take what they give you, Tigers. It’s fine if we walk in […]
