Kluber vs. Lewicki

Not liking the Tigers chances in this one

 

[tomdalton22]

Indians up 2-0 after 2

 

[turok]

If they can't hit much off kluber, then the Tigers need to foul off pitches, grind out ABs, and try to drive up his PC.

 

[turok]

Tigers get on the board by FC on Martin...2-1.

At least they won't get no hit or SHO.

 

[turok]

Lewicki dug himself in deep, but got out of it with minimal damage...3-1.

 

[turok]

6-1...VerHagen sucks...send him back to AAA.

 

[tigermud]

Verhagen dominates triple A bit then blows chunks in the bigs

 

[turok]

415' solo homer by Martin off kluber...bet that felt good...6-2.

 

[tigermud]

Miggy looks rusty still,from being off for a month, lots of rolling over

Miggy looks rusty still,from being off for a month, lots of rolling over

Since he's been back he has been getting on base but no power numbers. Only 2 doubles and no HRs in his 10 games.

 

[tigermud]

I’ve counted at least three lousy plays by nick in RF so far today

 

[turok]

9-2...and that will do it...would need an entire flock of rally geese for the Tigers to comeback now.

 

[tomdalton22]

I?ve counted at least three lousy plays by nick in RF so far today

I haven't been able to watch a lot of games this year. Is he brutal out there?

He has been today, but overall I thought he had been doing fine

 

[tomdalton22]

I think the Tigers are going to have a difficult decision to make. Nick has one year left before he becomes a free agent. Christin Stewart is pretty much the same as Nick...a poor outfielder that appears to be able to hit. I don't think you can have both of them on the team long term because Miggy is going to DH in a few years

 

[tigermud]

Miggy k’s way too easily, he just doesn’t look all that into it today

 

[turok]

Series win streak @ home ends...back to 5 under .500 again, which seems to be the Tigers' comfort zone right now. I am losing any remaining hope that they might somehow achieve a .500 record @ any time during the remainder of this season. How far under that mark that they might wind up at, by the end of the season may depend on if they can trade any SP/RP for prospects by next month's deadline.

They aren't good enough to contend but aren't bad enough to get the 1st pick in next year's draft. Looking ahead at some of the players that could potentially get traded

Fulmer - probably the best asset to get the most in return because of his past few years and he is under team control until after the 2022 season.

Boyd - He is having a good season but his track record isn't as good as Fulmer's. He is under team control until 2022 and will be 31 that season.

Nick - last season of arb. before he becomes a FA. Do the Tigers want to give him a big raise this season or a contract after 2019???

Miggy - Untradeable due to the stupid contract they gave him

Iggy - might get a bucket of used baseballs for him

V-Mart - he sucks...nobody will want him

Zimmerman - see Miggy

Fiers & Liriano - might get some mid level prospects for them if they continue to pitch like they have so far this year
