Scherzer will not start Friday for Tigers. Smyly will fill in.

Deltoid still tight for Scherzer. Felt it in yesterday's pen session.

Leyland: Verlander will NOT pitch on 3 days rest.

Leyland on rotation: "Got it all mapped out. I don't alter the plan unless I'm forced to. ... Sometimes, you get surprises.

Leyland on Smyly: Thinks Sunday's start will help in him being stretched out. Also helps that Minn. has a lot of LHH.

Leyland also concerned about Porcello.

Smyly, ut oh.

 

[biggunsbob]

damn shoot..

 

[kalinecountry]

Fister makes short work of the royals with a nice quick 12 pitch inning.

 

[coulomb]

1-0!

Good start Tigers,

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers lead 2 - 0,

 

[biggunsbob]

Lamont the idiot...

 

[kalinecountry]

Cannonball!!!!!!! fat daddy windmill lamont sends Prince on a ground ball single to left,

line drive to the wall he would have put up the stop sign,

putz,

 

[thehippo73]

How could you not see that Prince was gonna get gunned down? I think Gene flips a coin before every at bat to decide whether to send the runner home.

 

[tomdalton22]

KC with 3 errors...they look like the Tigers!

 

[servinthed]

Horrible send by Mr. Windmill. I knew Prince would have been out before he rounded third. Don't risk injury to one of our best players, idiot.

 

[servinthed]

"Prince Fielder was sent home on a single that was in Alex Gordon's glove by the time he touched 3rd. Has advance scouting been eliminated?"

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

perfect logic to have one of the teams slowest players round third there in the first inning

 

[kalinecountry]

Fister with 24 pitches,

Tigers lead 2 - 0.

 

[tomdalton22]

Watching Fielder run the bases really scares me....he is so freaking fat and the Tigers signed him to a 10 year contract? Stupid!

 

[servinthed]

Lol 4 errors, only in the second... Whats the single game record?

 

[servinthed]

Watching Fielder run the bases really scares me....he is so freaking fat and the Tigers signed him to a 10 year contract? Stupid!

1) 9 year contract
2) He's probably faster than 3 or 4 of the Tigers every day players.
3) He's not being paid for his base running abilities.
4) Go troll elsewhere.

 

[servinthed]

Nice triple for Berry.
