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

Pitching proves to be mound of trouble for Tigers.
Detnews

Detroit is 28th among 30 big-league teams in ERA and 27th in the more telling pitching metric known as WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). The Tigers bullpen, a steady problem in 2015 that probably had the most to do with Dombrowski's dismissal, is 28th and 29th in those categories, respectively.

Elsewhere, ERA and WHIP numbers are, at best, unsettling, and, at worst, hard to imagine for pitchers who in some cases are gone, were shuttled to and from the minors, or remain in Detroit:

Rondon, 6.23 and 1.62; Kyle Ryan, 5.72 and 1.58; Nesbitt, 5.40 and 1.38; Ian Krol, 6.65 and 1.98; Buck Farmer, 7.54 and 1.76; Matt Boyd, 6.75 and 1.61; Neftali Feliz, 10.50 and 1.78; Guido Knudson, 18.00 and 3.20; Gorzelanny, 6.62 and 1.82.

It is an unsightly set of statistical columns. It also carries with it an asterisk alongside this name: Joe Nathan.
Nathan has a season ERA and WHIP of 0.00. It represents one inning of work in April, before he tore a ligament and had his second Tommy John surgery.
 
J.D. Martinez: ?I used to always think ?hit down on the baseball? and after studying everyone?s swings, I changed that, because that?s not what other people are doing. They?re doing what feels like an uppercut.?

September 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: Detroit takes its 2nd straight extra-inning game from the White Sox, 6 - 5, in 11 innings, and the Naps beat the Browns, 5 - 2. The American League race leaves Detroit 75-52, Chicago 72-57, St. Louis 71-57.

1960 - In Detroit, Mickey Mantle unloads a cannon shot for three runs in the 6th inning, the ball clearing the RF roof and landing in the Brooks Lumber Yard across Trumbull Avenue. New York pins a 5 - 1 loss on Paul Foytack that moves them a half game in first place ahead of Baltimore, losers today.
In June, 1985, Mantle's blow will retroactively be measured at 643 feet, and will be listed in The Guinness Book of World Records at that distance.

1962: Against Hank Aguirre, Mickey Mantle clouts a 4th-inning home run, the 400th of his career to tie the game 1 - 1. The Yanks score two in the 9th off Aguirre to beat Detroit 3 - 1.

1963 - 50 years ago today, the great Willie Horton made his major league debut in a Tigers uniform.

1999: Umpires opposed to union chief Richie Phillips announce plans to form a new union and seek certification to represent all umpires.
