wow...JV back in the house.

Here is what I expect his line to look like

8IP, 6H, 2ER, 11K

 

[tomdalton22]

I was wondering why the 6:10 start. Must be because of the Lions game. Parking must be a bitch down there tonight. Of course, there may only be 5,000 fans at the baseball game.

JV with a win againts the tigers

And the two run Offense fails again. Tigers are in danger of not scoring 600 runs this season. Need to score 37 runs in 18 games. Yea the two run awful O fense is running a little short right now.

Boxscore.

Amazing how often the durability of Justin Verlander gets overlooked.
Since 2007, Verlander has thrown at least 200 innings in 10 of his last 11 seasons — all with a fastball holding triple-digit capability.

Incredible given the frequency of elbow injuries to hard-throwers.

Dawel Lugo is in the history books as the first Tigers hitter ever with an RBI against Justin Verlander at Comerica Park.

As piss poor as that is they should be able to average 2-runs a game the rest of the way. Just need 1 or 2 games of 5-6 runs.

Who cares?

They?re never gonna catch the Orioles at this point.

They might as well drive in as many fuckin? runs as they can.

I don't worry about draft picks. I want them to win as many as possible.

Nicholas Castellanos picked up his 40th double tonight; to go along with his 20 HR on the season.

He?s just the 8th player in Tigers history with a 20/40 season.

Kaline missed by 1 homer in 1961.
