Tigers: 2 players who proved their spring training was a fluke, 1 who was legit.

Remember the Meijer logos that suddenly appeared on the Detroit Tigers' celebratory hockey helmet? Did they get added because of the deal Meijer had with the Red Wings?
This could mean that the hockey celebration in the Tigers' dugout may be forced to continue for the foreseeable future - as long as that contract exists. The Tigers already have a new contract for Meijer patches on the jerseys. It is a multi-year deal.

The Tigers have released Brendon Davis to make room for Johan Camargo. He spent a little more than a year with the Mud Hens, hitting 19 home runs in 146 games. He also picked up a pair of big-league hits.
Camargo signed a minor league deal with the Royals in the winter. He hit .298/.412/.544 with Omaha with a 16.2% rate for both walk and strikeouts.

Game after game this team has so many chances do score rims and they fail.

First and and second no outs .

Carpenter swings at a terrible pitch and K?s
Fails ro move runners over

JB swings at first damn pitch and grounds into a 643.
So many poor at bats.

 

[biggunsbob]

That didn't take long.

Homer
Walk
Homer
Trail 3-0. Joey not sharp this inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers trail 3-0. Bottom 2nd. 37 pitches for Wentz in the 2nd.

 

[biggunsbob]

Right on que.
Maton strikes out.
Vierling k's
Miggy k's


Does anyone know how to sit on a off speed pitch.
I'm out. Maybe next inning.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tiger bats being shutdown by a guy with a 7.20 era. I know he is a soft tosser but this is kind of ridiculous.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers no runs through 5 innings.

 

[Mitchrapp]

4-1 still bases juiced 1 out, Miggy DP.

 

[biggunsbob]

This team with the bases loaded.

Miggy with the bases loaded this time strands all the runners in the damn 7th.

Nice catch by Ibanez but this team just can?t hit.

When will the tigers have a break out star player that just mashes the ball nonstop ?

Out hitting twins 7-6 but we just don?t hit any homers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers ninth

.205 hitting schoop k?s and has zero clue at the plate what he is doing. Please get rid of him so another team can fix his swing lol.


Vierling 3-2 count Walks.

Miggy up down 0-2. K?s on a 0-2 waste pitch

Short K?s


Tigers lose 4-1 in another Pathetic display of hitting

 

[biggunsbob]

Twins hit home Runs .

Tigers don?t.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Last week, the Tigers and Bally Sports experimented with a new broadcast formula. Instead of Matt Shepard (?the call?) and C-Mo (?the color?), they presented a ?players only? format with C-Mo, Todd Jones and Dan Petry.

Instead of the structured broadcast that is generally used, all 3 players were allowed an open format to talk whenever they wished ? and about anything they wanted.

Whether you saw the 2 broadcasts or not, what are your feelings about watching a different kind of broadcast play out? Do you prefer something that is structured and plays out according to what is going on during the game or do you like something more informal in which everyone talks when they choose and they pick their own topics that may not directly reflect upon the game on the field?

Which format would you select? (And no, you can?t take the easy way out and say you want neither.

Which broadcast format do you prefer to watch?

1. Prefer structured Shepard/C-MO style.

2. Prefer informal multiple ?players only? format.
