Norris failing in relief - what a surprise.

[RandyMarsh]

Riley's got his OBP back up to .300 after a strong few games, still disappointing but it's nice to see a little bounce back after being Coolbaugh'd for several weeks. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

hey, a run.

[Evil Roy Slade]

Gary Jones breaks me up. Always has a toothpick in his mouth and always puts his arm around the guy when he’s on first base.

The human rally killer Miguel Cabrera quickly shuts down any hopes of a big inning with the GIDP.

I don't get the point of playing him when the knee is not good. Completely pointless. I find it hard to believe he doesn't know once he warms up each day whether he is going to be able to drive off it or not.

I don't get it either.  I was content to see him getting on base couple of months ago...he wasn't blocking anyone...but that stopped a while ago.  Yes he should be capable of deciding that he isn't healthy enough to play.

don't tease me like this, Tigers.

Making it interesting

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

not sure why they're even pitching to Haase. I'd just send him down to first to get to Cabrera.

[gehringer_2]

Cabrera  - LOL. Tigers need a one legged man to win a game

I suppose Miggy's ability to work a walk and a pitcher who can't find the strike zone would be a reason to not IBB Haase.

boooooo

Miggy fouls off a hanging slider right down the middle the pitch before K'ing. That pitch was put on a tee for him and he just couldn't barrel it up, story of the past couple years for him.

Friggin Cabrera...at 2 strikes the best you could hope for against Doval was a strikeout.

[sabretooth]

I am not watching this f'ing team next year if they still have Cabrera.  Enough already.

[RandyMarsh]

Miggy is the negative side of Tigers legends, on the positive side is Justin Verlander who is currently through 6 no hit innings against the Twins with 10Ks. At 91 pitches so unless they just let him empty the tank I don't know if he will be able to go the full 9 but he's been as good as ever tonight. Only Twin to reach base was off a passed strike 3.

Wait they are legit brothers? I thought people were just saying that jokingly since they have the same name, I didn't know that they really were, that's wild!

Dude, they've been brothers ALL their lives!!!

(At least our, younger, Wilmer).

That was a hell of a double play.

It really was a pretty damn good play.

You play him because he's a future hall of famer, Ballys has to show the milestone tracker in the stands, and all 9,241 people that showed up bought their tickets to see him swing a bat.

Miguel competed well in that last AB, but there was little confidence he could Ultimately hit Doval there.
