kdog Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 One of the most impressive wins of the year. They did not let the early dominance of Pivetta carry over the 2nd time through the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Good to see Greene get a homer and a couple hits yesterday. Hopefully he will break the slump he's been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vierling must play every day until he gives a reason he shouldn't Agreed about Matt V. I always worry that stupid green monster will screw guys swing up. And he's as hot as any Tiger recently.

The Tigers have been playing good baseball for the last week. It's good to know we can win when he doesn't hit. Our SP has to be near the top of the AL. I would be surprised if it isn’t.

IdahoBert Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I missed this game because I was taking the 2-hr. drive from my friend’s place in the mountains up north back to Boise and phone coverage was spotty so I didn’t even try to follow the game and I’m glad it turned out like this. What a treat. My friend’s place is in Donnelly, Idaho and it’s a very modest 120-year-old cottage built by Finnish pioneers who moved here after fighting in the Spanish-American War. This is the view from the second floor of the mountains behind the place. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see this guy stick around but I doubt very seriously the Tigers have any intention of such. He may not have any interest in staying but it would be nice to at least have that conversation. Glad to see him get a much deserved win.

IdahoBert Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I just watched all three homers in replays on the TV and those were three classic monster homers. I hope they do this the whole series. Even Tork could hit a homer here, if he can figure out how not to strike out three or four times a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 6 year contract only goes thru age 34 season for Flaherty. Dollars not that relevant, but years will scare off Harris and lead to deadline trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they even teaching young players the proper bunting techniques anymore? It sure doesn't look like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I love what Jack is doing, but Jack is an average injury-plagued MLB pitcher on an incredible run right now. Not trying to be Negative Nelly here, but I don't expect it to last. To me it's a Willie Blair/Mike Fiers season. Hopefully it continues long enough for the Tigers to get a really good hitting prospect - maybe a shortstop in a trade. As far as anything long-term. We all need to prepare ourselves that we are going to be like the Tampa Bay Rays. We'll fall in love with a player and at their peak they will be traded. Skubal, Greene, Olson......all of them. Max Clark was not drafted to be Greene's outfield mate, he was drafted to be his replacement. That's how it's going to be around here. Jut hope that Harris and his scouts are as good as Tampa's. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
