It's a little early to be concerned...but I'm a little concerned early. Go Tigers!

Even he got roughed up last time out.

Let's just hope he strikes-out Inge.

Another fine pitching performance by our Ace; Verlander allowed 2-hits and struck-out eight in 7 full innings. Tigers head to Chicago for a battle against the White Sox.

Nothing like Verlander after a couple tigers losses.

Inge took the day off when J.V. went to the mound .... he knew better.

It's early, but tigers off to an early 3-0 lead, nice to see hits from fielder and young

Especially Young...he needs to raise his batting average 40 or 50 points.

We could be in for some fireworks tonight. Of course, I get the feeling Smyly will settle down.

Looks like what ever slump Adam Dunn was in last year he has broke out of it

Except for hitting a HR against the Tigers, he deserves it. I met him a couple times in DC and he's a good guy - hated to see him struggle last year.

My goodness, the Twins suck.

 

[Mr Tony]

yup. Listened to the game on the radio.

Watched a smidge of "Twins squeeze play" which the Twins should use each game. 30 minutes and it shows the pitch of each batter before something happens.
so they show the pitch where the batter grounded out
then the pitch where the #2 guy singled
then the pitch where the #3 guy walked
etc

Big 8-run inning by the Tigers this afternoon; Tigers log a win in Chicago.

 

[riffjim4069]

Well, we're at home against the Twins...but we're down early.

Not anymore.

This is not classic baseball.
