Bill Slayback took a no-hitter into the 8th in his MLB debut in 1972. I still remember the single to RF that broke it and Kaline gunning the ball to first in an attempt to retire Johnny Callison. The throw was hurried and offline as I recall.

Tork is +370 to homer. Parlayed homer and 2+ hits at +700. Turning that 10 bucks into 80 today, boys

 

[Cam]

I’m excited to see Vandy alum Jack Leiter’s debut!

Leadoff homer for texas

that should be about +1200

 

[tomdalton22]

Maeda sucks dick

 

[gotime909]

Tork and Baez turned a nice DP

 

[gotime909]

that should be about +1200

Leiter gives up a ton of homers. Plus I think a lot of action has been being put on Tork to homer since he hasn't yet.

I hope so. I get kind of tired of the Tork hate here. He's still very young and has a chance to be a good player.

I've probably been his biggest supporter here, but even I'm getting tired of waiting.

 

[gotime909]

Greene just watched 3 straight strikes go by. Jeez

 

[gotime909]

He needs to be more aggressive early in counts. He's constantly taking the first pitch strike and then spends the rest of the at bat with a defensive approach. That's a team wide problem. They need to grip it and rip it more.

 

[nydo77]

I’m getting tired of the announcers (and MLB network in general) declaring every new prospect to be the second coming

 

[gotime909]

Kenta be trash

Kenta be trash

I wasn't too high on the signing when they did it. I understand that he was cheap, but he hasn't done squat in a while.

Driving. Not the greatest start. New Tiger pitcher is struggling and Langford has a rbi something already. I wonder what Clark put on his shoes today .

Time for tiger bats to wake up !
