Tigers vs. royals Game Thread July 8

So nice to see guys not named Cabrera and Fielder hitting HR's too!!!

Wow, did Perralta turn on that! 2-0.

Pitch was so high that when he made contact I thought it would be a fly out. Nice power.

Nice to see multi-run homers lately....

Nice to see that, we were counting on Johnny for 15-20 HRs this year, good to see him get one. Even though guys have gotten their averages back up to respectable, it's just recently that we've seen some power from our under achievers.

Nice to see multi-run homers lately....

Finally.

 

[manchild98]

New record for K's. 711.

 

[gotime909]

K record!! 711

 

[jas5lf]

New 1st half record...711 Ks and counting.......

 

[kalinecountry]

That strikeout might be the one to set a record for most by a team at the all-star break,

Peralta's first homerun since end of May,

Cabrera now second in the league in doubles.

Prior to today's games Austin Jackson sits #2 batting ave in the AL (yet not in the All-Star game)

 

[kalinecountry]

lol, everyone was waiting on that K.

 

[manchild98]

New 1st half record...711 Ks and counting.......

It turns out it is just an AL record. MLB record is the 2003 Cubs with 811!

 

[jas5lf]

lol...we're way behind.....I thought it was a MLB record, but the Cubs hold that at 811.

 

[kalinecountry]

Scherzer and Verlander now have 247 combined Ks, most by 2 Tigers prior to the break since Coleman and Lolich had 295 in 1972.

 

[kalinecountry]

that's amazing over 800 k's at the break.
must have had wood and prior. also zambrano.

 

[manchild98]

DY Power!!! 4 games in a row!

 

[jas5lf]

Who is this Delmon Young?

 

[tazmac]

Holy Shit. I didn't think that was gone.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Wow, Young is in the zone right now!!! 4 straight games.
