I wish I had more time to give JV his full due, and to apologize in part for some things I may have said earlier this year…but I doubt he’s reading.
But you know who is…billfer. Check out his thoughtful post on JV this morning.
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Tyler Collins, LF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Victor Martinez, DH
5. J.D. Martinez, RF
6. Nick Castellanos, 3B
7. Alex Avila, C
8. Jose Iglesias, SS
9. Anthony Gose, CF
Add to the list of things still worth watching about this team: Iglesias and Kinsler turning 2.
The Tiger base running, on the other hand…
Way to kill it, Gose!
Tigers lead the AL in hitting…..now subtract Runners picked off base, first in the MLB, and Runners caught stealing, 1st in the MLB..and that Batting Average is way less impressive….Brad says “theres nothing we can do about it, were just not paying attention!”
Oh well, looks like Cy Schumaker + Tiger base running might equal another shutout. On an unrelated note, when is the last time Alex Avila actually caught a ball thrown from the outfield home?
Replay that run with Cespedes in left and McCann catching. Never mind, with Cespedes they never attempt it. If Collins is our plan for left field next year, we are in trouble. Avila should start all those games where McCann can’t breathe.
If the Pussycats put any less effort into this game, they would be ASLEEP….Assmus will blame Wolf for givin up a run!
Except fot Gose, who obviously IS already asleep!
Wolf..nice job today..5 runs in 2 games…=2losses….JV…2 earned runs in 4 games…=3 losses
Who in their right mind would let Avila bat with the game on the line……..nevermind!
if last night’s game was the yin, today’s was the yang
…but for the ’15 DET course
Pathetic!……heres the worst part they are looking at a 1-5 week coming up!
Victor 3-15, 1 rbi vs Texas
1-11..0 rbi vs Angels
Sure hope he is in that 4 spot tomorrow. Leyland called and said, he is DUE!
