Don’t look now, but in his last eight appearances going back to May 13, Gregory Soto has pitched 7-2/3 innings and given up no runs on four hits and one walk (!) to earn five saves, a hold, and a win.

The only thing I can ding him on is he’s gotten only four strikeouts, but hey—can’t argue with those kinds of results.

whoa, I guess I should look now, because I apparently haven't been paying attention.

Only the 4th time all season and first in over 3 weeks that the Tigers scored 6 or more runs. 

that, on the other hand, surprises me not at all. though maybe I'm a little surprised that it's happened that many times.

and he's barely been able to throw his slider for strike - if at all, so that is yet not his potential best.

It’d be nice to see Soto bust right-handed hitters at 99+ up in Zone 1 every so often, except he’s got little enough command that the ball would go way up into Zone 11 and end up separating some guy’s jaw from the rest of his head.

Are we actually building some momentum ? Cautiuosly optimistic and anxious to see us when Baez hits,  Greene and Meadows are back in the lineup and Tork has found his footing. We just might have a fun summer after all boys and girls. Maybe even a "wonderful summer in the neighborhood".."could we"..."should we".

I always enjoyed following Mike Hessman.  By reputation he was a solid defender at third and of course he had that tremendous power.  180 K's yes, and a lot of years in the minors with an OBP of under .300, but I always thought that the glove and the power should have gotten him a longer look somewhere.

Four hundred and sixty-two professional home runs in the majors, minors and overseas. Only 14 of those in the majors. Very strange ratio.

I wonder who the active minor league home run leader is?
