Good to see Alex getting the start. I'm hoping as the season goes on it gets a little closer to 50/50 between him and McCann. Alex is good for these young pitchers, he's just got to stay healthy.

Avila is in beast mode so far this season.

Huge bomb from Alex!!!

Hope they keep his hot bat in the lineup for a while.

 

[lonesometiger]

Alex makes it 12 for 12.

 

[lonesometiger]

great our 2 3 and 4 hitters have just been terrible..208,.205,.175

 

[thehippo73]

Boyd is battling through every inning. We need a nice 1,2,3 inning.

#2 hitter has had a lot of hard hit balls right at people though, his ave should be much higher than it is. Vmart I'm most worried about he may not have it anymore

Close enough.

 

[durtymrclean]

Boyd is the calmest pitcher on the team. His nerves are more talented than his stuff.

 

[tigermud]

that was way too quick bats, guy isn't challenging with a lot of fastball, lot of those pitches are out of the zone, ump has a goofy k zone as well

 

[thehippo73]

We need a couple more runs. Most likely we got the bullpen the rest of the way.

 

[gotime909]

100 pitches for Boyd. Who's coming in to blow this one?

Frank in the 9th imo

Unless the tigers get about 4 more

 

[tigermud]

Other than Avila the offense has been very unimpressive today

 

[thehippo73]

I think we all need this shirt.

[tigermud]

Need some runs offense, bat around

 

[tigermud]

Miggy leaves game with lower back stiffness, off day tomorrow..might just want to give him the Tampa series off from that turf

 

[tigermud]

Some slight breathing room..4-1 now will that be enough for frank?

 

[tigermud]

The Wilson brothers pitched did well in relief today
