Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Last 14 games, Tigers starters have had 13 quality starts, with a 2.58 ERA, 120 strikeouts.
 
Verlander seemed genuinely surprised Leyland didn't like his playful move: "If he wants to be mad, he can be mad. I wanted to stay in."

Jim Leyland's inexplicable (brief) blow-up about Justin Verlander's joke, trying to dodge Handshake of Doom:

Q: One of the most comical things of the night was him coming off the mound, and it looked like he was maybe trying to dodge you a little bit.
A: "No, I don?t think that was comical at all. You might think that was comical, but I don?t think that was comical at all."

Q: You said wasn?t comical?
A; "Oh, I?m not getting into that. I made my statement about that. Let?s move on. I don?t talk about silly stuff. Let?s talk about baseball."

Leyland on Verlander's dugout move: "You might think that was comical, but I don't think that was comical at all."
Jason Beck

and this;
Leyland happy with Valverde because he didn't walk anyone (but gave up 2 HRs), but annoyed that JV tried to avoid him to stay in the game?

f'n Leyland is out of touch.
This is hopefully his last year...

June 8 in Tigers history:

1978 - In the 12th round of the amateur draft, the Detroit Tigers select Michigan State?s Kirk Gibson. Gibson starred in football and only played baseball for one year in college, but he announces his attention to focus on baseball.

1983 - Lou Whitaker has a career high 11 total bases as he gets two doubles, a triple, and a home run. He thus misses the cycle by a single in the Tigers 6 - 3 win over boston.

2001: Damion Easley becomes the 9th Detroit Tigers player to hit for the cycle, and the first since 1993 when Travis Fryman accomplished the feat. Detroit beats Milwaukee 9 - 4.
