Never mind, Scherzer just lost it with one out in the 8th. I'd actually give scherzer an error he should have made the play

by **Death Roe** 2017-06-21, 14:31

Scherzer is so fucking awesome.

Verlander is having a pretty good baseball game through 5 innings.

Man, JV's stuff is disgusting tonight. Fastball is running away from lefties and his breaking pitches are dialed in.

That sucks. I kinda felt like this was JV's shot at immortality. He's running out of those bullets. He's not gonna get to 300 wins. A 3rd NH (including a perfecto) might have been it. Spoiled by a bunt.

by **Tim Wakefield** 2017-06-22, 00:05

Fuck that Juan-Pierre-wannabe bitch Dyson

The ump had given JV some calls too.

He'll go 7 now and the bullpen will blow it. Prove me wrong plz

This is what happens when you spend too much time watching soccer. You've forgotten the unofficial rules of baseball. Gosh!

I don't think I've violated the unofficial rules greenway. But, if I had that's because most people in soccer are okay with talking about the goalie pitching a no no. Mostly because if you couldn't talk about that then it would be the quietest soccer watching party for the first 70 minutes or so.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2017-06-22, 00:38

I suspect he will get healthy and hit a lot better at some point this year, but at what point are we just going to admit that Miggy's days when he looks like Brennan Boesch far outnumber his ABs when he looks like one of the best RHB's of all time? I mean we don't even see flashes of that shit anymore.

I'm not saying he's done. I think he'll catch fire. He'll hit 10 HR in 30 games. But between his injuries and his cold spells....

Fuck, 4-4.

Ausmus: managers can't do much. Players play the game

by **steveschneider** 2017-06-22, 09:27

Can't believe we lost last night. I went to bed we were up and Verlander was pitching solid.

I'm concerned about my prediction of four wins over this miserable stretch. Only 3 wins is looking likely as Seattle looks poised to take the broom to this team. Pathetic.

The Maybin move last year was a complete head scratcher to me and reminded me a bit of the Fister trade. He was such a cheap player, very affordable and very effective. They gave him away for horse shit.

Our CF play has been horse shit this year as well. They banked on that one rookie to fill in his spot and that kid can't hit for shit.

That Maybin move was shit. Accomplished nothing. I think I read somewhere recently that his WAR was like +2. Better than what we've been going with.

When he was on the field the Tigers had a better winning percentage

He brought base speed

He brought a winning attitude

He wasn't a gold glove winner, but he could make plays that Collins and Mahtook can't

Things this team desperately needs:

Wins and lots of them. We are staring at a disastrous season far worse than we imagined.

Base speed

Players with a winning attitude

Just read this. He makes some good points.

I just remember Drew Sharp defending that move in all of his chats and columns. He was insisting they had to clear out the money. Not his finest moment.

by **steveschneider** 2017-06-22, 14:19

Will add regardless if they had signed Maybin again or not this team is still shit. Our offensive production would definitely go up, we'd have a better record but doubtful he alone could get us to the postseason.

by aualum06 2017-06-22, 18:33

I actually think selling Maybin high was smart, but they got no return so it was a bad move

Hey k-rod any suggestions on who we should hire as the new mop up manager?

by Izzo Court 2017-06-23, 10:05

At least the next two games start at 10:10 so Tigers fans will be asleep and won't have to witness a Padres team with a worse record than the Tigers beat them 2 out of 3.

by **steveschneider** 2017-06-23, 10:43

If Padres sweep the Tigers any chance they chuck Ausmus sooner rather than later?

Which Tigers team was worse; Ralph Houk's mid-70's squad featuring Tom Veryzer, or our current iteration of the Detroit Baseball Club?

Mid 70s but next year might rival that.
