No joke: LHP Tyler Alexander to make big-league debut Wednesday.
Detnews

Alexander, who throws from a deceptive arm slot, features a low-90s fastball, a slider and a change-up. He gave up five runs in three innings in his last start, but he pitched 13 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in his two starts before that.

?He?s easy to root for, easy to get behind,? Wilson said. ?He puts his head down and he gets to the grind of things. You have a lot of respect for people like him who are the underdogs, who don?t complain or make excuses and just keep working and trying to get better.?

Triple-A hitters posted a .350 average against Alexander in the first two months of the season. In June, they hit .234 with 33 strikeouts in 28 innings.

?The first two months were tough,? he said. ?I was finding a new arm slot and trying to make adjustments to the new balls (same balls that are being used in the major leagues this season) we?re using. But our pitching coach, Juan Nieves, worked with me a lot.

Since May 12th:

They should easily be able to keep that pace once they get rid of Boyd and Green.

#1 pick...here we come

More fun facts since May 12

73 wRC+ (lowest)
.281 wOBA (comfortably lowest)
51.1% swing rate (highest)
13.3% swing and miss rate (highest)

And shockingly their 6.6% BB rate is somehow good for 27th

I can?t say I?ve watched much Tiger baseball this year but the stats read like the same old story of poor plate discipline that has plagued this team for as long as I can remember.

If the Tigers did not have a private jet to make road trips, the opposition would send their own to get them to their parks.

Maybe they need something to motivate them..

Now Boyd will only get 3 starts instead of 4 until the deadline. He avoids Boston right before the all star break. That could be good or bad depending how it would have went.

Any chance we can pry Kyle Tucker away from the Stros?

Are all teams going to wear special commemorative caps tomorrow like they have done in years past?

Did they do that this season on memorial day?

 

[tinselwolverine]

I just saw this game is on the MLB network.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers lead 2 - 0 top of the first.

Toss in Greene. Get it done. That's a kid we can build around IMO.

 

[byco42]

Norris WHIP is 3.0 after two innings. With no walks.

 

[kalinecountry]

Norris doing his Beavis routine, gives back 2 runs, tie game.

All McCan't needed was a new batting coach;
