KC wins 6-3!
The Tigers are a joke this year. So glad my wife and I scheduled a week long vacation following them around the Midwest this summer. Is it too late to cancel?
I usually do the same with my wife even when the sox are really bad. its nice to get out and see other parks and chat up with fans. dont cancel dude.
Verlander hasn't been as dominant this year either. That's the big thing. They don't have a good rotation, but the one thing they count on is that they'll win when Verlander pitches. That's just not happening this year.
My bad, I couldn't find a way to show sarcasm using Tapatalk. My wife and I follow the Tigers for our anniversary every year when a road trip coincides. We're hitting Cinci next weekend then up to Chicago for the Cubs series. Six games in seven days. Last year they were home on our anniversary so we went to Gettysburg and caught an Orioles game the day we flew in and a Nationals game the day we flew out.
I'm just hoping the Tigers can be respectable. My wife is a social butterfly and you're right, meeting people is half the fun of doing road trips. If you ever make it to Comerica let me know, we have tickets and go to all Friday/Saturday games and a majority of weekday games. Once summer starts we sell all of our Sunday games, I can't take the heat.
Kitties pitching is awful.
Go ahead and count them out...
It is funny how you act in the two different forums, but thanks for permission to post in the Cubs forum. I can't wait to read more about how the Cubs celebrate a win from you.no one is. just stating facts. no run along and talk about farm systems and your 10 year rebuilding plan ok? thanks.
All right, every post you've made about the Tigers has been how awful their pitching is, but sure you aren't counting them out.Not sure anyone has counted them out, but you need your eyes checked if you think they scare anyone.

its funny that you only make comments that counter anything good that the sox are doing. the orioles comment, now this tigers BS. cmon now
He certainly is on pace, but it would probably take 150 pitches for Sale to do it. It would be awesome for him to do it, but the longterm risks outweight the cool moment for him, imo.
What they did in the regular season was impressive, but seriously what they did in the postseason is probably the greatest pitching performance by a staff in the wildcard era. They had what four or five complete games in a row?
JV's actually been very good this year, just hasn't received any run support. He's gone 8 innings three times and has two losses and a no-decision to show for it. His ERA, even after giving up five runs yesterday is still 2.55. Fister had a 1.85 ERA and was winless before his last start. He tweaked his back again and is on the DL.
A few of us (I think Serious, Dews, and I (maybe Uman?) said that Detroit's downfall was going to be a meh rotation after Verlander. That's been the case. That mixed in with poor defense, a surprisingly somewhat lackluster offense and a surprisingly bad bullpen have forced Detroit into their predicament.
No one is writing them off, its June, plenty of baseball left. But, Joe is right, their pitching is shitty.
