Bullpen games, which this basically is, seem to have gone our way this season.

I like him. It would be nice if he can make it to the next Tigers playoff team.

LOL Vierling 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

wow, that was quite a slide by Vierling!

[gehringer_2]

Foley only throws 12. He and Lange should both be OK for tomorrow. But it looks like Hinch is going to use Holton. I suppose the could activate Brieske for tomorrow as well. Unrealistical to expect more than 5 from Manning tomorrow.

[gehringer_2]

Hope Dan D's crystal ball is a good one with the way he keeps promoting Jace Jung to the majors....

[gehringer_2]

Holton leaves 'em loaded.

WOOP WOOP!

[Jim Cowan]

16 K's, 3 walks, and for a nice change it was the other team's hitters.

[Tigermojo]

I didn't realize Holton is a rookie. Nice pick up by Harris.

[chasfh]

Horrific pitching injuries aside, 14 strikeouts against the run-scoringest team in baseball, which also strikes out below league average, is pretty darn good.

EDIT: what am I talking about, I mean 16 strikeouts.

Agree.  He’s looked good.

[Jim Cowan]

Seager missed 5 weeks but other than that he has been a video game this year.  Keeping him off the bases is a key to success.

Yes, he has had some good performances. 

[Sports_Freak]

I didn't think there was even a chance to win this game as Boyd left the mound, injured. But....baseball.

[gehringer_2]

small piece of luck for the Tigers - since Toledo has a couple of days off, they can fly a guy down but wait 'til tomorrow to decide if they need to call him up. Boyd didn't look hopeful but Vest might be something that's fine tomorrow.

Didn't somebody release him when they signed Chafin? Arizona?

That would be ironic, if true.

(Don’t ya think?)

Yes

[Tenacious D]

Which is more awkward?  

Kyle Schwarber, Cure Insurance spokesman

or

Kyle Schwarber, left fielder?

If Boyd is out, well be down to 3 starting pitchers. 4 with Manning. Hurry up Skubal and Rodriguez. And we can keep Olson up and send Wentz down to keep him sharp.

Yes

Chafin is on the way to having a terrific year, his best, but he's 33.  Getting Holton, sort of in exchange in a weird sort of way, was an outcome that takes away a lot of the disappointment about not getting Chafin back.

I've decided to allow Olson to stay, he's done some good things.
