Re: tOfficial 2017 Detroit Tigers Thread: We suck again (again - AUAlum whined)

Justin Upton thinks knee injury 'not too severe'

JD and JUp both out would be bad news.

For fucks sake can we enjoy one day first? I'm so sick of injuries to players on the teams I follow.

Jones was the first tiger to hit his first career home run on opening day since 1965

Gates Brown or Willie Horton?

Tigers PR‏ @DetroitTigersPR

Also according to @EliasSports, Jones is the first Tiger to hit his first career HR on Opening Day since John Sullivan in 1965 at KC (A’s).

Maybe I'm dense but that seems to contradict that stat I posted earlier about Gibby.

How did Justin Verlander beat the White Sox?

He put his dominant fastball to good use.

First career home run vs rookie. Gibby must have hit one as a September call up?

[aualum06]

Also I disagree greatly with changing the thread title

[aualum06]

Yep Gibby had a home run in 79

The Gibby opening day game
1980 Opening day

And he hit one HR in 38ABs in 1979

[aualum06]

Also number 2. Gibby never had a 100 RBI season?

91 in '84 and 97 in '85.

Ah ha, so he was still classified as a rookie on opening day 1980.

Im Probably thinking of Gates Brown first ever at bat. Different than opening day.

[Guest]

On June 19, 1963, coming off the bench, Brown became the American League's 11th player to hit a home run in his first at bat. A popular figure among Tigers fans, Brown may not have had the defensive skills to make the everyday lineup but he has been considered one of the premier pinch hitters in MLB history.

Thanks. Was bothering me. You have vague memories but are never sure.

J.D. Martinez continuing physical therapy in Lakeland. Had sprained foot reexamined there. All reports are positive. Apologize for confusion

Yessir.

Collins bomb. 1-0

[aualum06]

Collins totally misplays a ball in right leading to a triple.

[aualum06]

Boyd rushes a throw home and misplays an easy bunt into a run and second and third with one out

[Guest]

And Boyd panics on the bunt......had tons of time.

[aualum06]

Bad throw but McCann should have took a step and caught it

[aualum06]

Iggy with an excellent play to get the runner at home

[Guest]

<grips chair> - Anibal is up and warming.

[aualum06]

Big k of Abreu

[Guest]

Whew.....Boyd K's Abreu with 2 outs and the bases loaded.

[aualum06]

Game 2, first embarrassment of the year so far. Just not sharp at all

That's pretty critical from the FSD guys

[Guest]

Strange to see Anibal and not Miggy appealing to the 1B umpire.

[aualum06]

McCann can throw

[aualum06]

Upton looks to have tweaked his knee again

[aualum06]

Neither pitcher throwing enough strikes

[aualum06]
