yeah MC, we've seen that swing before and always had homerun on it.

deep, deeper than Comerica, leftfield in pittsburgh.

 

[manchild98]

This is a boring game.

They usually are nowadays. This is not an exciting team.

I heard somewhere that Raburn has hit pretty good since being brought up?

p.s. They do let Barnes and Alvarez play everyday

I was putting in a joke, there.
But,but should look at the Tiger's splits, you would find that the Tiger's number 6 spot hitters are hitting a great .206 this season compaired to there opponents .272. AU I'd say there is a problem there in the lower middle of the order! That not be good!

The Bucks R only batting .226 to there opponents .206 thoe but still better than the Tigers 6 spot.

Verlander has had 7 or less combined Ks in back-to-back starts once last year (5/24-29, 5 k's), once in 2010 (June 5-11, 7 k's), seven times in 2008.

Thankyou Jhonny, with delmon's back up against the leftfield wall, he wasn't getting to it.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander with 72 pitches and 4 k's through 6 innings.

Verlander K's McCutchen and ties Strasburg for MLB strikeout lead at 110.

Hum, I'm going to go with the Tiger's offense is not getting it done and Verlander is a good pitcher. So there be the answer to this being a boring game. But I like good pitching games. Too bad the Tigers R making the Bucks pitchers look like a bunch of CY Youngs thoe!

According to stats, most teams have made their pitchers look really good. Having said that, I like their Bullpen (Resop, Cruz, Hanharan)..I even like Meeks, but not sure what happened to him.

Warning track power from JV!

 

[manchild98]

JV almost gets his first hit. Thought that was going to get over their heads.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Zzz... Zzz...

Verlander has 58 consecutive starts with 6+ IP. That ties him with Walter Johnson for 4th longest streak since 1918.

 

[theTutor]

couldnt they picked a better batter than Broson Arroyo to show Verlander fanning?

In today's day and age with pitch counts, etc. this is a really impressive and underrated stat.

Boesch doesn't catch that one.

O do not get me wrong here the Bucks do have some fine pitchers. Just the Tigers seem to make everone pitching staff look better. The Bucks R trying to build a good team IMO the right way with players that do not cost too much. To when they do get in a postion that they can make a good run in the playoffs they could afford to pick up a bat or two for that run.

Radio mentioned earlier the next closest (not close at all) is Cliff Lee, at 28.
