Fister was the second coming of Doyle Alexander in 2011. One was 9-0 and the other 8-1 in half a season.

Didn't he take a line drive off of the side of his head in the World Series vs San Francisco?  He stayed in the game and had a line of 6 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 3 SO.

Detroit usually struggles on their west coast trips. Hopefully they can give a little payback to Seattle this weekend.

I think so. He was always low walk-low strike out and keep the ball in the yard type of pitcher. He would love todays pitch clock since he was a fast worker. Good pick up by DD.

Matchup of lefties with Marco Gonzales against Matthew Boyd.  Gonzalez gave up 3 ER in 6 IP his last time out vs. Houston.

The Tigers have played only 15 home games to date, tied with the Mets for the 2nd fewest in MLB. This 5-game homestand will almost even things up.

Anybody have the slash line on the bottom third of this lineup combined? I am sure it is.. Interesting.

More chess moves.

Whelp, Boyd's still a gascan

[lordstanley]

Matthew Boyd is the Tigers’ weakest link. 

[gehringer_2]

Boyd  every which way but lose. Not finishing on the fastball, holding the breaking ball too long.

[gehringer_2]

Schoop handcuffed pn a hot grounder.

Hinch should try handcuffing him to the locker room radiator...

With Boyd

[Dtrain72]

Imagine sucking so bad that you need Englert to come in, in the 2nd inning to replace you.

[gehringer_2]

Boyd is no Cy Young, but you still don't normally see a guy come in have zero ability to throw any of his pitches for strikes. 

[gehringer_2]

Englert gets the DP ball, Javy self detructs..

[bobrob2004]

Hinch must be playing checkers tonight instead of chess. 

[gehringer_2]

The ol' "Make two outs in the same inning" for Hernandez.

Should Torkelson stepped on first and throw for the tag ? He caught that right next to the bag. 

[Dtrain72]

Havent had them make me turn the game off after two innings in awhile, so thats nice.
