Wasn't leyland a catcher as well?

I mean one who actually played LOL

 

[lonesometiger]

Offence your pitcher keep the game in your hands. Put some runs on the board now.

 

[lonesometiger]

Hunter taking a pitch again.

Right.

But I think AA is really defensively solid all around...and he really works well with the pitching staff, it looks like to me.

I'd say he is a plus defensively. One of the things he does I like it set up late, some catchers set up too early and I think the batters can get a feel of where the ball is going to be (inside, outside, middle, etc.)

 

[lonesometiger]

Pays off with a single to left.

 

[lonesometiger]

DP kills us here.

 

[tigermud]

Might not matter now!

?Suarez!

 

[lonesometiger]

Suarez rbi single

I hope Nick C. can improve on his glove at 3B, the hit tool is there if only at times. I have to think it's his age, he has been young for most of his stops up the chain to the Tigs and is still iirc only 22.

Nice to see Alice with another hit off a lefty.

Suarez knocks him in

Tigers lead 5 - 2,

Others have disagreed, but I think if he works hard and puts on some upper body mass, he might not be a terrible right fielder.

But I just don;t see him getting much better at 3B. Reaction times are just too slow, need quick feet and sadly he doesn;t have them.

 

[lonesometiger]

Tigers 5 Rocks 2 after 4

 

[lonesometiger]

Porcello 79 PC with 6 strikeouts.

 

[lonesometiger]

Kinsler average at .288 needs a hit
