Mini trend I think I’m seeing with pitchers to miggy so far this year, get two quick strikes on him then won’t give him anything to hit after that, trying to get him to chase, seems to be seeing the ball well right now, lays off and walks after down 0-2..career walk #1,094 ties him up with Paul molitor #80th all time

 

[tigermud]

Stewart triples to tie it up 1-1

Beckham GIDP but run scores 2-1. IMO you should still be awarded and RBI on runner scoring even on GIDP like that I mean the ball was put into play and allowed the run to score, couldn’t you say he earned it by putting it in play at least? I mean with all the K’s these days and whatnot.. meh anyway all I’ve got time for today later...

I'm glad it's not an RBI. 2 outs should not be an RBI.

What a grab !

 

[Mitchrapp]

Didn't expect the pitching to be so good. Nice surprise.

 

[gotime909]

Man this team has been fun to watch so far.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I can't wait until they start playing at night everyday. 10am is just too early for me to understand what's going on..

 

[gotime909]

Greene made history being the first player ever to have 7 saves in teams first 10 games

 

[kalinecountry]

"How Sweep It Is"!!!!

So Greene adds to his ML record 7 Saves in the Tigers first 10 games to start the season.

5 hits on offense and yet another win. This shit is crazy. Couldn't imagine this team starting 7-3...hopefully that just gives them confidence.

 

[dale675]

We rank #28 in runs scored in MLB with a whopping 27. Only 2 teams behind us are Reds with 21 and Giants with 25. Combined they are 4-15. Tigers 7-3. Rank 29th in AVG and SLG.

Pitching staff as a whole ranks 2nd in ERA, WHIP, runs allowed, BAA.

Can't say I saw that coming!

I was gone from the 30th until yesterday. No phone service or internet. I was very surprised when I saw that they were 7-3 and how well the pitching has been.

This won't continue for long. Well, the pitching won't anyway. The hitting may continue to be bad.

Sadly, I fully agree. My wife and her whole family are Cubs fans. So I'm gonna ride this wave while I can. Lol
