Tigers vs. orioles Game Thread August 19

You're scared of the Angels? They just got swept in a 4 game series against the Rays, and their starting pitchers are in shambles.

I'm scared of every team at this point...

#Angels tied for second-worst record in AL since trade deadline. #Royals tied for second-best.

Probably a pipe dream, but I'd love us to sign Hamilton for LF, let Peralta and Young walk, trade Boesch/Berry/Porcello/etc. for a good defensive SS, and let Castellanos have a try at RF.

Could you imagine a lineup like this?

1. Jackson - CF
2. Hamilton - LF
3. Cabrera - 3B
4. Fielder - 1B
5. Martinez - DH
6. Avila - C
7. Castellanos/Dirks - RF
8. New SS
9. Infante - 2B

We'd be pretty solid defensively too since Jackson, Infante, Hamilton and the SS would be plus defenders.

Deja vu moved to other thread.

Deja vu.

Fister has a groin "situation." Felt in 3rd pitch warming up Sunday.
Leyland said Fister has a groin issue, no word on if it will affect next start.

Fister felt a twinge in his groin warming up before his last start. Not sure if he will make his next start.

Kind of knew something was wrong with Fister Sunday, based on facial expressions, answers.

Fister: "It's another negative, but gotta stay positive."

Fister said he had an MRI, will test it with normal between-start throwing. No one knows if he'll be ready for next start for Tigers.
