More roster moves from Tigers:

- OF Nomar Mazara comes back from the 10-day injured list.
- OF Victor Reyes optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

- RHP Erasmo Ramirez to 10-day injured list with right pectoralis strain.
- RHP Joe Jimenez recalled from Triple-A Toledo.

and so it begins..the Tigers shuffle....I will trade you one Jimenez for an Erasmo..a Mazara for a Reyes..lets play Harold Castro in CF in a real major league game..6 years into the Avila era..its like a bizarre super sad and disturbing Haiku
We now know..what we suspected..AJ Hinch has seized power from Al Avila and Dave Littlefield..over the Tigers roster..Victor Reyes was demoted to TOL..

If you watch this game..how could you not..wanna fire the man who assembled this roster..especially if you knew it was his 6th year as the GM..its..a crime against the baseball fans of DET.

More proof of the Detroit Tigers' systematic cost-cutting. For the first time in history, they aren't printing the Annual Media Guide. However, if you still want it, you can get the PDF and print it out yourself for a couple hundred $$.
Cheap Bastards!!

There is no help coming from Toledo. After Erasmo Ramirez gets called up to replace Buck Farmer, he may be injured. So the Tigers -get ready- call up Joe Jimenez. The same guy who recently gave up a homer that sailed out of the ballpark and landed on a residential street.

Totally Tigers

This game today is on national television right?

 

[tinselwolverine]

These two teams lead the majors, or are among the leaders, in a number of categories.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Hopefully the Tigers can hold this lead and be two wins in their last three games.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Only 9 k's, yeah and a win possibly 7-3 in 9th.

 

[gotime909]

9 walks and only 3 k's.

 

[turok]

Wow...a solid win by the Tigers, now that doesn't happen very often!


Even Miggy contributed...maybe there is still some hope for him yet.

The Tigers? suddenly resurgent offense has averaged 7 runs, 10.8 hits and 4.8 walks over the last five games. Not too shabby for a team that was hitting under .200 collectively and producing fewer runs than any team in baseball up to that point.
