He almost ruined Kirk Gibson by comparing him to Mickey Mantle.

Maybe that comparison didn't help, but Gibson gave Anderson a lot of credit for helping him grow up which is something he needed.  

On another note,  I talk about Whitaker and Trammell a lot.  They were my favorites, but I thought Gibson was the most exciting Tiger of my lifetime.  Watching him run the bases, hit for the power and seeing his reactions to things was really entertaining.

Yes, he was really exciting. Kinda rushed to the big leagues though, he was really raw when he came up. Probably the biggest position player competitor I ever saw. The man wanted to hit with the game on the line.

SWEET! “The main threat from the stronger storms that do evolve will be strong winds up to 60 mph and hail the size of quarters, the weather service said.”

I told you guys they should’of just stayed in Arizona, but, no,…… nobody ever listens to me.

KC made some good contact in the first inning. HR to start their 2nd. Olson isn't fooling them very much, yet.

[kdog]

His homer streak was also not sustainable:

 

[Sports_Freak]

Any time Witt makes an out, I'm surprised. That kid is really special.

[Kamakzie]

Olson hurt by a line drive off the hip.

[kdog]

No run support and no luck.

[Sports_Freak]

Rogers with a bone headed throw. Olson hit by batted ball and pulled. I hope he's OK.

[Tigermojo]

That sucks. Shot to the hip of Olson. Hopefully he will be ok for his next start but good move to pull him for now.

[Tigermojo]

Carpenter bomb!

[Sports_Freak]

I had to look it up because i was wrong. But a passed ball isn't considered an error. On Saturday, there was a passed ball by Kelly with Chafin pitching. Then a base hit to score the runner. If the passed ball isn't an error, why was the run unearned?

Carp!! HR!!

[Tigermojo]

Olson is no longer the pitcher of record so the offense can score runs now.

He could still get the loss unless we tie it up or go ahead. One of the 2 runs was unearned. We're a Rogers brain fart away from a tie game.

They're going to beat up Wacha the third time through the order.

As long as Javy doesn't bat.

[Hongbit]

Color guy with “It’s amazing at how many out of the zone changeups Wacha is getting them to swing at” 

Tell me you haven’t watched many Tiger games without telling me you haven’t watched many Tiger games. 
 

[AZTigersfan]

Back to making mediocre pitchers look like cy young candidates. Come on offense!!!

[Hongbit]

$50 says Sal is back juicing 

[1776]

This game is over.

[AZTigersfan]

Wentz the human white flag. Can’t wait until his tenure is over 

[Sports_Freak]

Was Brieske on a pitch count? He only threw 22 pitches and retired every hitter.

[Hongbit]

Wentz turning back into a pumpkin.  

[Dtrain72]

Oh noooo Wentz sucks agaaaaaiiinn...
