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

If Jacob Turner stays in the Major Leagues from this point on, he'll have two years and 134 days of service time after the 2014 season. There's a good chance it'd be enough for Super Two status, but it won't be enough to accelerate Turner's free agency. However, the Tigers' primary focus is no doubt winning games this year.

MLB has made a scoring change on Miguel Cabrera's Little League home run on Saturday: It's now a 1B and two errors, rather than just two Es.

Leyland: "That?s a real good team we beat. Good tonic for us, another series win."

Leyland on Turner: "He did fine. I will say this: He?s much improved. There?s no question about that."

Leyland on Turner: "Today I was hoping to get six, maybe we coulda, maybe we couldn?ta".

Leyland on bullpen: "They?ve done a great job, but we?re just using them too much. We?re going to have to be careful with that."

Update on Kelly: just banged his knee when he made the catch in foul territory. Sore, but just bruised.

Leyland: "Our rotation, hopefully they can get on a roll, because that?s how you can string some wins together".

Leyland on Turner getting a 2nd start: "He did well enough, but the circumstances may or may not dictate that." ‪Tigers‬ are short in bullpen.

Leyland on 'killer instinct': "I think that we have it. We haven?t shown it in all occasions but we?re certainly getting a whole lot better".

Leyland: "Winning breeds smiling faces, better camaraderie, the whole ball of wax."

Jacob Turner: "Just little things like holding runners on base and trying to get ahead of more batters are things I've been working on".

Turner: "That was exciting for me, just because that's the team I grew up rooting for. It was cool to pitch against them".

Turner: "Happiest with making pitches when I needed to and the walks, obviously are not good but that comes back to getting ahead of batters".

Turner: "He's (QB) been unbelievable since he got up here, really a spark plug, has a lot of energy & been playing well".

Avila on Turner: "He pitched really well. That's not an EZ lineup to get through. He did a great job mixing all his pitches, really locating".

Berry: "You want to get something in the vicinity you can put a good swing on".

Berry: "Just trying to get something I could lift in the air but that didn't happen. But found a hole. I'll take that".

Berry: "This is my first one ever. I've never had a walk-off before. That's huge. I think that's why I was so excited about it".

Berry: "Huge series, especially against them, World Series champs. To be able to win a series against them is great. It's good momentum".

Bless You Boys Tigers blog Podcast 45: A fart in a mitten. about 50 minutes.

The Tigers' fan base has replaced the Brandon Inge sized hole in their heart with Quintin Berry.
The Tigers have been a much better team as of late. Is it because they are playing the NL?
Jim Leyland wants more dirt bags and a-holes...like Craig Monroe?
also wants to see a "little meaner streak" from his team, while Prince Fielder says, "Huh?"
With Jose Valverde out, who becomes the closer?
Welcome back Doug Fister!
See ya soon, Casey Crosby!
Goodbye, likely forever, to Matt Young and Thad Weber.
Let's hope Jacob Turner has learned how to hold runners on base.

Drew Sharp believes the Tigers need to get "scrappy" to overcome their injuries, while Bob Wojnowski says the Tigers' "infusion of speed" has turned their season around. So Sharp thinks a David Eckstein-like player would solve the Tigers' problems and Wojo is saying that player is Berry? Apparently so.

Roger Clemens won't be punished by the US government, so baseball's hall of fame voters will dole it out instead.
The lightning round includes Sparky Anderson man love.
 
June 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: The Detroit club buys the rest of the vacant Bennett Field grounds as the site for a new park.

1912: Ty Cobb gets pinch hit for in an unusual scenario. With two outs in the 9th, and the Tigers down 11 - 3, Cobb is nowhere to be found, and George Mullin substitutes and flies out to end the game. It turns out Cobb is in the clubhouse showering.

1934 - Detroit takes over first place, beating Washington, 11 - 3, dislodging the Yankees who lose, 4 - 1, to Cleveland.

2009: Donald Fehr announces his retirement as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association after 25 years. He was in charge during the 1994 strike and the relative labor peace that followed. His resignation will be effective in March 2010, when the union's general counsel, Michael Weiner, takes over.
