The only thing more exciting than a good JV team win, is Fulmer pitching the next day.
J.D. out for a month.
Baseball-Reference game preview here.
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B

5. Nick Castellanos, 3B
6. Justin Upton, LF
7. Steven Moya, RF

Fulmer will continue to pitch great , but Ventura is the kind of pitcher that completely ties the Tiger hitters up…he is kind of all over the place and the Tigers will swing at everything he throws…(prediction..Upton won’t even foul a pitch off tonight during his Golden Sombrero night!).
Congratulations to Michael Fulmer on Breaking John Hillers scoreless streak. We should be enjoying Fulmers work for many years to come!
Character builder: nice job by the rookie under pressure.
Standing O for Fulmer
KC fans +1
How often do you think you trade one of the best hitters in baseball for one of the best pitching prospects in the minor leagues and it actually works out for you…..DD did good on this one to add to his legacy!
U gotta be kidding me……the slowest human being on the planet..Victor I need three hits to score me Martinez!
should be 1-1… the ball makes it to the backstop, any runner* should go/score
*except VMart
And what bothers me the most is he had about a 2 foot lead off because he never ever ever puts out more effort than is absolutely requirred. Great hitter….but never busts his behind!…
To me it looked like that hit by Hosmer could have been a DP if we had played a normal infield. Help me, I missed the replay.
Yes..they had a semi shift on..Iggy very close to 2B…..pitch itself was way outside to LH hitting Hosmer
Tigers have exactly one chance to score this game..soon as Martinez got to second and no one out pinch run….1-1….Ausmus -1
…you bring Lowe in for Greene.. why??? Ausmus -2
..the fact that Ausmus had decisions to make..-3…Brad doing what he does best!
The evidence is ample and clear: Ausmus is over head and learning on the job. Bad hire from day one.
+1..over his head is right tbran!
Leaving Lowe in Ausmus -4
Great 0-2 waste pitch. I feel very Lowe now. Oh well still good to watch Perry Mason.
Good news is Fulmer. It took a great game by Ventura to beat him. See, we really need that 13th pitcher to keep games like this close.
Can’t wait to hear BA explain this one.
Ausmus, Lowe,and Hardy are the poster boys for why this team will stay .500
Avilies bats for Victor in the 9th..why didn’t he run then for him in the 7th..Ausmus -5
Shields/CWS got pounded again today – 7 hits, 3BB’s, 8 ER in 1 2/3 innings… glad DET didn’t try to trade for him
