I think he was calling the argument dumb...not Avila.
It appears our line-up was a Jimmy leaving town line-up today.. On paper it looks triple A-ish in a lot of spots.....
Kind of expected a shitty output offensively today. Can't have your number 6-9 consisting of two rookies, and two single-A players and get a lot of hits.
verlander not an ace!
can't blame JV,he pitchedwell enough to get a W. it's the same thing Leyland went thru a few years back. he had 4 mudhens in the game at once.
Verlander was good if not great today. For an April start that's about as much as I would expect out of him. He doesn't usually start going full throttle until May/June (except last year which is when he started to stink lol).
Bats were just cold. It happens. Tillman did a nice job.
verlander's fifth-inning strikeout of steve lombardozzi in the fifth inning gave him sole possession of fourth place on the tigers' all-time strikeout list with 1,675 strikeouts, moving him past tommy bridges. Verlander is currently ranked 132nd on major league baseball's all-time strikeout list.
The only pitchers in franchise history with more strikeouts than verlander are mickey lolich (2,679), jack morris (1,980) and hal newhouser (1,770).
The tigers have hit a home run in each of the first five games of the season. It?s the fifth time in franchise history the club has started a season with a home run in each of the first five games and the first since 2009.
Hate to see JV get a loss after pitching a decent game like that, not a big fan of those Sunday B lineups..JV seems to get those often it seems like..Tillman is a good pitcher might be thier #1? And we throw out the B lineup againts thier #1?
