[Rebbiv]

Not a good game for J.D. and the Tigers so far. Got thrown out a home and misplayed a fly ball into a double.

 

[lonesometiger]

verlander has gone to the pelfrey level!?&@2

 

[Rebbiv]

And now Upton gets thrown out at 1B by the catcher.

 

[gotime909]

Rough start. Plenty of time left.

Nick's just a hittin' machine

 

[lonesometiger]

This team has the most amazing gift of running it self out of an inning .

 

[Rebbiv]

This team has the most amazing gift of running it self out of an inning .

They were next to last in MLB last year in base running. And before today, they were last in the MLB, despite a focus on base running in Spring Training. Today's game isn't going to improve that stat.

 

[lonesometiger]

Your ahead in the count just got a ball 2 and swing at one in all most the same spot and make an out trailing by 4. The choices this team makes some times are mind boggling.

 

[gotime909]

that a boy Ian!!!!

 

[Rebbiv]

Victor a single despite the shift.

 

[manchild98]

I thought Upton was going to find the seats when it left the bat.

 

[lonesometiger]

Get 2 runs and walk the lead off batter on 4 balls. Millions spent for what?

 

[lonesometiger]

And now the walk scored. Lessen learned by Verlander from palfrey?

 

[gotime909]

JV just doesn't have his game tonight.

 

[lonesometiger]

PC at 95 with Three walks! Turn those 3 walks into strike outs and you get 5 K's maybe 92 PC and at least 2 less runs.

 

[sggatecl]

Rough start. Plenty of time left.

Nick's just a hittin' machine

I'll take "Things I never expected to hear but please me greatly" Alex.

 

[tigermud]

Well I guess these clevelanders are getting us back for that year the tigers spanked em like 18 times or sumpin, boy have the tigers really sucked againts these bums thus far in 2016

 

[tomdalton22]

What is higher....JV's ERA or the size of the diamond on Kate Upton's engagement ring?

 

[kalinecountry]

I turned the channel during brantley's first inning at bat fouling off pitch after pitch.
Verlander can't get by hitters like before, where's the movement?
and JV wearing long sleeves. Can't recall the last time he did that.

 

[lonesometiger]

Hard to believe Pelfrey got the 3rd best ERA amoung Tigers starters now!!!
