Absolutely insane! Thought it was gone, but the longest double possible. He crushed it.

 

[kalinecountry]

Miggy Blasts it to left center, just missed a homerun hit the yellow line, rbi double,

Tigers 1 - 0,

 

[tigermud]

In real time I thought it hit that flag pole behind the wall..maybin and Miggy off the chain

 

[kalinecountry]

Quick 6 pitch inning for JV,
Double Play is a Pitchers best friend.

 

[gotime909]

What's the word on why Kinsler was scratched?


Never mind, just saw he has the flu

 

[Rebbiv]

Salute to my fellow military alumni on the Detroit Tigers Armed Forces and Veterans Recognition night!

 

[manchild98]

Nick had an easy stolen base but slides like a fat 7 year old and over slides the bag.

 

[kalinecountry]

That was stupid,

 

[tigermud]

Iggy down to .216, his swing looks a tad long to me

 

[coulomb]

Man I hope JV can keep this up for 9. Feeding a 1 run lead to the BP is suicide.

I trust k rod.

DET is dead last in Ultimate Base Runnung for 2016. They were 29th in 2014 and 2015.

 

[SpartyNash]

I trust k rod.

I still don't, although I trust him more than most other closers we've had aside from valverde in 2011

 

[kalinecountry]

Miggy with an rbi ground out and Victor line drive single brings in another run,

Tigers lead 3 - 0,

 

[durtymrclean]

Trust is a very relative word. I trust a fresh k rod over a verlander with 120+ pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Gameday has both strikes on Moya off the outside corner, k's,

Tigers with some breathing room for JV and Bullpen/KRod.

 

[gotime909]

Hell of a start Justin!

 

[johnny2x2x]

97 mph on his last pitch of the night. JV still has a great arm.

 

[coulomb]

JV with a hell of an outing!
