JasonBeck

Tyler Collins will start in center field for the Detroit Tigers in place of Cameron Maybin on Tuesday.
Maybin is missing his third consecutive game with a back injury.
"Cam feels about the same as he did yesterday," said manager Brad Ausmus. "We were hoping for improvement, because he was close yesterday. We're going to give him another day and truthfully, with the off day (on Thursday), unless he comes in tomorrow feeling great, we might end up giving him off tomorrow as well. But we'll play that by ear."
The Tigers are facing right-hander Steven Wright, who leads the American League with a 2.67 ERA.

3 of his last 4 games have been decent. Nothing special but decent.

Gameday.

Miggy with a Bomb to right field,

Tigers with the early 2 - lead,

 

[jas5lf]

4-0 Tigers at Fenway. Is that score correct? Wtf?

Never mind. Pelfrey just crapped his pants against Ortiz.

 

[tomdalton22]

Oritiz with a 3 run shot.

4-3 Tigers

 

[tomdalton22]

4-0 Tigers at Fenway. Is that score correct? Wtf?

Not anymore. Nice job!

 

[lonesometiger]

It's Fenway score can change with one swing.

 

[kalinecountry]

I can't wait for the end of the year and that f'n ortiz and his pharmacist will retire. Juicing pos.

I'm calling a gem from Pelfrey!!

Yeah he really mowed them down.......for two+ Friggin' innings.

Sadly, the words "gem" and "Pelfrey" don't appear in the same sentence very often.

But here's one: Pelfrey signed a gem of a contract last winter.

 

[kalinecountry]

The Home run by Miggy was his 428th career HR, breaking a tie with Mike Piazza for sole possession of 48th in baseball history.

Miggy now has 8 seasons w/ 20-or-more HRs with the Tigers, third most in club history. Norm Cash had 11 & Al Kaline had 9.

 

[kalinecountry]

The runner was on the grass he was out of the baseline.

 

[kalinecountry]

Only a weak chicken shit would have let that go by with the runner out of the baseline.

 

[LGRW_9]

Damn it Pelfrey, they stake you to a 4-run lead and you piss it away in 2 innings. Between him and Dirty Sanchez, we've laid down for far too many teams this season.

Throw strikes you moron.

 

[lonesometiger]

There the pitiful I'm use too. Tigers do not get a starter there done.

 

[LGRW_9]

Pelfrey is getting behind hitters and then grooves fastballs. Get him the hell out of there!!!!

The problem is they hit his strikes real good!

keep them coming, remember who's on the mound
