Counting Minor League innings that year, he threw 165. The next year, he threw 211 in the regular season, and 23 more in the postseason. He has not topped 166 innings since.

Kalapse Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) Bunch of points in reply. First, the question wasn't if they threw 130+ innings, it was whether they threw 200+ innings.  Secondly, and here's the real key IMO; a lot of those guys warmed up on their way to 200 innings, they didn't just jump from 130 to 230.  Kazmir jumped from 134 to 186. D-Train threw 157 in 02 in the minors, then 197, then 197, then 236. Chacin threw 165 innings in 04 before throwing his 203 in 05. Jeff Francis threw 160 in 03, 200 between the minors and the big leagues in 04, and 184 in 05. Joe Blanton went 178 to 184 to 201. So a lot of these guys have had a couple years to build up their innings, they aren't always just thrown into the fire in pushing 230 innings their first year after throwing 130 the year before.  And another thing, it's probably worth noting how many injuries you have showing up on that list above, or either a combination of injuries and mysterious falling-backs in performance. And those are for guys making less of a jump than Verlander will have to do if they don't sit him down for a while Basically what I was trying to show is it just does not happen, you don't have them throw 200 innings the guys I listed are basically the young pitchers in the league who were allowed to throw the most innings early on in their pro careers and hardly any of them, if any jumped to the majors at such a young age and imediately threw ~200 in their first season. And I'd say that it's pretty telling that these guys who threw much less than 200 innings still found themselves plagued with serioius arm problems a few years later.

JackTalkThai Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) The Tigers optioned Chris Shelton to Toledo. Â They then traded AA relief pitcher Brian Rogers to the Pirates for Sean Casey. Edited July 31, 2006 by JackTalkThai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Casey is a solid pick up for the Tigers that makes them a better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of hearing how "The tigers haven't played well against teams with a winning record". Â I think that will change. This weekend will be tough. The baseball world will see two hot teams clash. if you're tired of hearing it then maybe you should try posting on a tigers board. Then again, I wouldn't recommend that either. I was surfing some motorsports site and it was full of kool-aid drinking sox haters who are already mapping out the parade route for October. Comical, but pointless.

tigerfan Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Not so fast. Tigers aren't done. They've gotten 3 straight hits to start the 9th, 2 of them being homers to make it 7-3. Â Make that 1 out. Â Over with now 7-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loltrain Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) I find it hilarious that Motownsports is considered to be full of Kool-Aid drinking people mapping out a parade route...when nearly half the board goes insane and talks about how the team is collapsing after EVERY LOSS. Â That description couldn't be any more inaccurate, if anything it is full of fans who are used to failure and still half expect it. Â Anyways, tonights loss was not too suprising, the Tigers main weakness all year is a great tendency to flail at breaking pitches out of the strike zone, so Casey Fossum looked like Cy Young. Â Edit: Honestly, I would consider Motownsports at this moment just as pessimistic as this board, and we're 7.5 games up in the division, I only post here because...well shockingly enough I like talking about baseball, and I find this forum to be mostly smart fans who know what they're talking about, Motownsports is quite similar in my opinion.
