Tigers vs. whitesox Game Thread July 22

[mhughes0021]

Crazy things have happened before, but assuming the Tigers hold on and win this game, they will have gone 6-1 vs the Angels and White Sox. That is excellent...especially considering our top 2 pitchers weren't on the mound this series.

ya ricky > turner was a but scary this series....shows what i know lol

JV pitched Friday.

Yeah, but he's not an ace.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Detroit is very lucky to have some of the athletes we've had play here....Barry, CJ, Miggy, Verlander, Prince, Yzerman, Lidstrom, etc.

Can't forget Howe and Dumars.

JV pitched Friday.

O ya...forgot about that - but its still impressive considering we threw two huge question marks out to the mound the past two games.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah, but he's not an ace.

True.

 

[manchild98]

Graphic showing Verlander's first 5 career starts. 1 win 4 losses, 28 IP, 29 hits, 6.11 era, opp avg .261.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nasty pitch.

 

[manchild98]

Turner showing the potential.

 

[mhughes0021]

gotta say turner looking solid. starting to get more ground ball out and continuing with a lot of swings n misses.

 

[mhughes0021]

bah...humber out lol

 

[tbone413]

Was not expecting this out of Turner...been pleasantly surprised.

 

[coulomb]

if only ozzie was still the manager. hed be having a shitfit postgame. "we cant hit jacob turner?!"

 

[johnny2x2x]

I'm starting to get the same excitement back as I had after sweeping the Redsox to start the season. We're beating up on some of the better ball clubs in the AL the last couple weeks.

Assuming we hold on today, we're 8-2 to start the 2nd half against 3 2nd place teams in Baltimore, LA, and Chisox.

 

[manchild98]

Santiago replaces Humber...lefties hitting .300 against him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Youkifuck, lol.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Youkilas is the savior....for the rest of the AL Central.

 

[Thumb]

Might be all for Turner with the the big guys coming up in the 6th.

Not a bad job for a guy who is not a major leaguer.

 

[durtymrclean]

Turner only has 72 pitches... he is going out there in the 6th.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was up by your neck Delmon.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He's been hitting better but those were some bad swings.
