Jacob Turner will start Thursday's game, was that Fister's spot ?
If so, he put him in just to get some work in, it looks like.

What he is doing is trying to rearrange the rotation and get it set up how he wants it for the postseason. I heard him talking about it in an interview on the radio. He wants Scherzer to be the number 2 starter if we have home field advantage because he feels he is more dependent on the park he pitches in. If we are playing in New York he wants Fister to be the number 2 starter.
The Turner experiment is not going well and perhaps it's not the best time to breaking-in the youngster. The Rangers lost earlier and now we're down to Baltmore 5-1 in the 5th inning.
Not a good move pitching Turner. Tigers lose to the Orioles 6-5 and, more importantly, lose an opportunity to gain a full game on the Texas Rangers.
Denny McLain arrested on fraud warrant
Nice to see our whacky organ-playing former Cy Young and MVP winner back in the news...

Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain has been arrested at the Michigan border with Canada on a fugitive fraud warrant issued in Louisiana.
Customs agents learned of the warrant Thursday when McLain became disoriented during construction and inadvertently drove onto the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Jeffery Wilson said Friday. He turned around before entering Canada...
...McLain won the 1968 American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards after winning 31 games and leading Detroit to the World Series.
At the time of his arrest Thursday, about 60 miles northeast of Detroit, McLain was driving someone else's sport utility vehicle, Wilson said. He was awaiting extradition in the St. Clair County Jail and was expected to appear Friday afternoon before a judge in Port Huron.

Tigers tied at 3-3 with the Orioles going into extra innings. I though they would win it in the 9th. Go Tigers!
Verlander is getting rocked this evening. However, I must ask...does a week ever go by when Austin Jackson doesn't make a highlight reel catch?
is the season over yet?
Its getting really painful to watch the Twins....but honestly I hope they lose the rest of the games...then they will tie their worst record (60-102) and that was back in 82 when the Twins had called up most of their rookies....most of them ended up winning the series in 87

Is there ever a week that Jackson doesn't look LOST at the plate ?
How many Strike Outs for him THIS week ?
Yeah, his batting hasn't been anything like his fielding this year. Shame! We lost a tough game this evening...we're 1-game behind Texas...and we have our pitching ass, Brad Penny, taking the mound tomorrow afternoon.

Watching them blow that lead last night was painful. I'm glad you're still sticking around. I'd hate to be the only one.
The series finale on Sunday matches Detroit's Brad Penny (10-11) against Baltimore's Brian Matusz (1-8). Matusz enters the game with a 10.68 ERA, the worst in history by any starter with 10 or more starts
