[jas5lf]

Go figure...the less we expect of them, the better they play.

Reddick looks like he belongs on the tv show Sons of Anarchy, not a baseball field.

Cabrera now has 25 home runs at home this season - most by a player in Detroit since Cecil Fielder hit 27 at home in 1991.

Miguel Cabrera is the 2nd player in Tigers history with 3 separate seasons of 125+ RBI, joining Hank Greenberg, who had 6 such seasons.

Once in a generation pure hitter.

Great job in relief from downs.

 

[coulomb]

KC leads sux 2-1.

 

[biggunsbob]

Throw freaking strikes

 

[biggunsbob]

Jesus un-fucking believable..

 

[tigermud]

Wow he gets to 2nd on a looper to center what's with all the lollygagging getting to that Omar and Johnny?

 

[biggunsbob]

Get this bum out of there is he can't throw strikes

 

[kalinecountry]

geez, The D doesn't stand for defense, D stands for dumb, wtf no one covering second.

Broken bat bloop ends up a double because BV does not help cover the empty base.

Rest of the season the Tigers should be out 2 hours early just working on basic fundamentals.

 

[coulomb]

That was awesome, 3 guys staring at the ball on ground while the batter runs to 2nd base, that no one is covering.

Once in a generation pure hitter.

Kaline was interviewed by Dana Wakiji earlier today;

Kaline on Cabrera: He's the best hitter that's ever played in Detroit since I've been here, there's no question about that.

Kaline on Cabrera: That's including myself, and I don't even want to put myself in the same category with him. He's the best.

Kaline on Cabrera: He uses the whole field. He's got tremendous power to right field, which is very unusual for a right-handed hitter.

Kaline on Cabrera: For a big guy, and I mean this, he doesn't run really well and he still hits well over .300 every year.

Kaline on Cabrera: He's not going to beat out many base hits on the IF. He's just a tremendous hitter & he's a very smart hitter.

Kaline on Cabrera: I don't think he gets enough credit for being a smart hitter, knowing how the pitcher's going to attack him.

Phil Coke warming up in a hurry, with BV struggling,

Miguel Cabrera's 3rd inning HR went 446 feet, his 9th HR of 440 or more feet this season, most in the majors.

 

[lonesometiger]

The defense is what it is with Fielder and Cabrera on the infield. Getting better ss and 2b is the only upgeade possible with this setup/

 

[biggunsbob]

Need to get Prince's bat going,.. He seems to be chasing lately

 

[tigermud]

That Cabrera guy is pretty good.

Miggy .033274
Trout .032936

 

[kalinecountry]

Just an incredible hitter, since 2008 great year after year, Miggy=Beast=MVP.
