2014 Tigers Thread...

[B.A.R.]

As Hunt said craziest game I seen in some time.

Tip, I had to go to lunch at 6-4 and was shocked Max was still in when I got home in 6th.

The balk didn't matter, Raburn woulda burned the old team. Either ending was perfect.

 

[B.A.R.]

Now the big question and I saw this mentioned on twitter etc...shit even my GF noticed...who was the drunk guy yelling all game?

I have an alibi, I promise.

tigers have not won a game since they decided to parade around boston in zubaz

 

[smo1a]

Danny Worth pretty solid knuckle ball. Tigers should use him when they need a spot start!

 

[jk16]

that thing was moving!!

Bump.

Tigers are now like the 'Stons of a decade ago...bored then play good teams and turn it on.

 

[orangemonk]

Soria to Tigers for Corey Knebel and Jake Thompson. all in on it. two top 5 prospects in our system but had to address the pen if we were going anywhere this year.

 

[jk16]

Sweet. Club option for 2015 as well.

 

[HUNT]

i aalways think u go for proven players but not sure about giving up Thompson..Detroit is death for closers.

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Soria throws strikes and whiffs people. Makes the pen real strong. I assume he will move to closer after next one or two Nathan fails. Strong move.

Yup, had to address.

I just want one this year. This is the last great shot for a long-time methinks.

 

[orangemonk]

agree BAR. we'll be good but not WS champs good the next few years. this is the last year we've got with a legit chance to win it... go for it.

 

[Elbutre88]

pretty happy as a rangers fan. maybe this will lift the curse of ian kinsler

yeah you should be. good trade for both teams.

 

[jk16]

Raburn...

 

[B.A.R.]

That is great.

Nice win tonight.

Nathan maybe feeling the heat....finally a 1-2-3 inning.

 

[orangemonk]

the Raburn was so awesome

 

[jk16]

Interesting day.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I'm not conceding, you weasels.

 

[jk16]

Got price locked up next year. Solves the Max dilemma. Davis plays CF. Don't know much about Carrera. He's 27 so not a kid. Really wanted Smiley in the bully come playoffs but oh well. Starters go 7 and the Tig's should be ok.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Blah, blah, blah.

 

[jk16]

:shake:

 

[twinkie13]

yeah...the Indians are fucked

 

[HUNT]

More worried about Royals..need them fucks to get swept in OAK.

How are we .500 at home???

 

[HUNT]

bullpen yo...hitting and bullpen are the nemesis..especially in October.

 

[orangemonk]

hunt why do you think a team would be scoring 5+ runs per game in the playoffs (against the best pitching staffs) ??

 

[B.A.R.]

How are we .500 at home???

Amazing.

0-2 on my trips. Let's see if we can beat them woeful rockies tonight to make me 1-2.

 

[HUNT]

hunt why do you think a team would be scoring 5+ runs per game in the playoffs (against the best pitching staffs) ??

1. Tigers pitch counts are through the roof by 5th or 6th inning with exception of Porcello..most times I see at least.

2. Tigers had an amazing rotation last year and pitching was great, hitting did not come through. Boston found ways to win. Tiger's don't.

3. Starters can give up 1-2 runs but moot if bullpen can't hold lead or if the team is not hitting as a whole.

4. These has been a pattern last few octobers

 

[orangemonk]

hunt you let small sample sizes affect your analysis way too much for a capper

 

[HUNT]

Dude, this has been a problem every fall in the postseason..I don't wear the Olde English D when I am capping bro...I want them to win, but the game is more than about starters..Hope I am wrong this year.

 

[B.A.R.]

TY rockies for coming to town, not to mention seemed to be some energy to the other starters with the trade.

Big road trip here.

 

[HUNT]

Them pesky Royals..go tigs

 

[B.A.R.]

Them pesky Royals..go tigs

There he is...


Yeah methinks this will be a true pennant race this year. Leggo and enjoy it.

 

[HUNT]

Absolutely...glad tigers swept..amazes me still that away record better than home.

 

[twinkie13]

Championshippppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

 

[orangemonk]

 

[jk16]

incredible

 

[B.A.R.]

Yeah it was....


The debut tonight...

 

[orangemonk]

jim johnson to minor league deal... not expecting anything at all out of him but worth a shot i guess

 

[KJ]

Crazy that he held on to that ball above in the palm of his glove when he hit the ground

 

[HUNT]

jv..smh

 

[B.A.R.]

A guy that frequents my town told me tonight when Tigers were down 4-1 that 'We're gonna win this game and go on a great streak'....and to remember this.

Guy is a retiree drunk but a great sports guy that knows a lot at times...I said he crazy for the record...

 

[orangemonk]

baseball is a streaky game, long season. still not worried. Royals aren't gonna play .800 ball the rest of the year
