Miggy and JD strike out back to back leaving 2 men on in the first. Ole' Farmer Buck looking pretty good so far. Need to get the lead early tonight, I hate being behind and trying to catch up.

Upton and Nick chasing low pitches, Nick hits a belt high sharp grounder to second,

Stole this from an article you posted. I hope some of these guys pan out. I really need to get up to GR to a White Caps game. I only live about 30 min from where the South Bend Cubs play. GR is only about 90 minutes from here.

Aces galore
The Whitecaps already had Kyle Funkhouser move up after a 4-1 start and they didn?t blink. Check out these two: Austin Sodders is 6-0 with a 1.05 ERA in 10 starts and Greg Soto is 5-1 with an 1.86 ERA in nine starts.

Keep an eye on Jason Foley.

Some good young pitchers down at Low A.

 

[dale675]

Kinsler gets drilled in the head with an offspeed pitch, obviously not intentional but DAMN

 

[kalinecountry]

And another Tigers hitter gets hbp, Kinsler gets beaned, intentional or not,
When are the Tigers going to drill the other teams hitter?
Drill them on the hands.

 

[dale675]

Bases juiced no outs. Gotta score some runs here....come on guys

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers are dumb keep swinging at low pitches, wait for a pitch they can see not the top of the ball, god dammit,

 

[johnny2x2x]

Both of those dudes were awesome!! Wow.

 

[dale675]

So far Buck 5IP, 2H, 4K, 0BB. 77 pitches. Welcome to rotation as far as I'm concerned!

The way he is pitching tonight and his last start with the 11 K's, he is a different pitcher you can see it in his delivery and pitches/movement.

IMO this spot in the rotation is his until he biffs it. Boyd hasn't done squat lately and with JV in question, no brainer to keep him up you'd think.

 

[dale675]

Terrible strike 3 call on Nick, ump must be looking out his glass eye. wow

 

[kalinecountry]

friggin' home plate ump Alan Porter just called a third strike on Nick a half a foot off the outside corner, God some umps suck so bad.

 

[nsonnett14]

Ut oh , basehit better take him out brad !!

 

[nsonnett14]

lol such a douchebag , he couldnt wait to yank him

 

[dale675]

Young with 2-1 count, pitch called a ball, in the zone. This ump blows goats

 

[biggunsbob]

Very nice birthday dinger!!!!! Thanks Mr. Upton !!!!

 

[kalinecountry]

That's what we've been waiting for, some breathing room,
J_Upton get a pitch and sends it deep to left, 3 run Bomb,
Tigers lead 4 - 0,
