Your calf moves your foot, but if your calf hurts you'd probably say the pain was in your leg. +1 on the graphic ("Scarlett O'Hara's Halloween") Edited March 19 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, that was his lat, and I always struggle when people try to say the lat is a back muscle and not as shoulder muscle. I mean, it is a back muscle, but it connects to the shoulder. I was told there would be no math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it, I watched it as though it were a penance from confession. But Brad Penny did start a playoff game against Texas in 2011. He lasted all of 1 2/3 innings. I don’t remember exactly what the issue was, but the pitching staff was beset with issues that series. Injuries, ineffectiveness. I’m pretty sure Penny was relegated to the bullpen for the series, but got pulled back to the rotation out of desperation. Penny only pitched in game 6 of the ALCS after the Tigers were way behind.

Tenacious D Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think there are parallels to the 2006 WS rotation. Skubal - Verlander Maeda - Rogers Flaherty - Robertson Mannjng - Bonderman Unfortunately, it falls apart when you try and compare the position players.

I wonder what game I was thinking of? Maybe it was Penny in relief I was thinking of? That game was a 15-5 series ending loss to Texas. Good grief, what a way to bow out. Scherzer and Verlander got clobbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roarintiger1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 18 hours ago, Edman85 said: 2012 and 13, you had some combo of Verlander, Scherzer, Porcello, Sanchez, and Fister with Smyly in reserve. 2014, Fister was traded, and Smyly backfilled until Price was acquired. That core was pretty durable. You had as good of a 1-5 as you will find in baseball history. Yes, they didn't make every start so you may remember some back end guys who filled in, but you are talking about your 7th and 8th guys not your 4th and 5th. In 2023 the Tigers had 16 different pitchers start a game. In 2013 the Tigers had just 6. Talk about a lucky year when no one got hurt or was ineffective. Wow! Verlander 34, Fister 32, Scherzer 32, Sanchez 29, Porcello 29, & Jose Alvarez 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Not to relitigate past discussions.... but the move of Fister move was blasted at the time by casual fans and talk about selling high. But then I will always maintain that DD panicked and couldn't be patient and within a matter of hours traded Ray and Eugenio Saurez. You could reverse or change a couple of moves during that general time period that would have dramatically changed the fortunes of this franchise the next 10 years. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I had a dream. Six Tigers got one-year suspensions for gambling. Greene, Tork, Rogers and Mize. I can't recall the other two. Season's over, man, Manfred dropped the big one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 This is what it's like trying to explain to people on Facebook why the Tigers can't just send Javy to the minors Question regarding the video.

I’m not all that worried about Hiura leaving. 1B is Torkelson’s. They have Canha as a backup. Vierling could play over there as well. Hiura has a weird bat and poor defense. Doesn’t seem like much of a loss to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermojo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Olson is pitching Saturday against the Yankees and Maeda is pitching the split squad against Toronto. My guess is that sets up Olson to start for Toledo and avoids him earning super two status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question might be has stamina, but they can probably wiggle their way through that with the right relievers in the bullpen. Kind of stinks for Olson given how he pitched for the Tigers last season. On the other hand, that was largely a surprise given his AAA work to date last year. And as has been mentioned several times, it sure is nice to have this kind of depth for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control issues are common among pitchers returning from TJ surgery. I wouldn't be surprised if the send Mize down so they can better monitor his pitches/innings (for at least awhile). Regardless of who they send down, I think both Olson and Mize will have significant contributions for the Tigers this year as injuries always happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s moving in the right direction. I can’t see him starting anywhere but in Detroit this year. This is what he’s been busting it for for nearly two years.
