Tiger's only have given up 1-hit through 7 innings. 2-run HR by Ike Davis.

I am watching on SNY. Some of the Tiger players are wearing #29 on their jerseys. Mets announcer are wondering why.

He pulled off an Inge. Clete flicked over his glove, and suddenly the ball was in it. You know it's all just hand movement.
Really the look on his face, with glasses on yea he was supprise,IMO. To the Guys in the dugout au he'll say had it all the way.
He don't catch that one thoe it's off to the races, as he was cutting accross the path of the ball.
Great video there, thanks for it ,KC.

After watching that monster shot homer, Prince looks heavier now, than when he reported to camp in mid-February.

He looks a little heavy....but if he hits like that I don't care!

He's always looked heavy.

But he's still mashing 35+ HR's, 100+ RBI's and flirting with a .300 AVG. Who cares if he's heavy?

Count me-in as someone who cares. Players like Fielder don't generally gain weight in spring training. This has been an ongoing thing during Jim's tenure as a players-manager here. I have seen more weight disparities during Leyland's tenure than the last three Tigers managers combined (Gardner-Pujols-Tram).

Just one of many reasons why MLB players love playing for Jim.
