2 out single for Q

Gotta love the throwbacks!

Isn't there some great picture of Cliff Politte in the Negro League uniforms?

2 out single for Q

Always nice to get that first hit when you're facing Verlander.

Made him throw 18 pitches in the first. That's a start.

1-2-3 for Danksy.

Alexei looks so ghetto in those unis. And a very nice, quick inning for Danks. How many pitches? 7 or 8.

You are the man.

SEXY.

DWAYNE. Base hit, Alexei to 3rd. 2 out.

Fields has no chance. Just look at his swing. He's bringing his hands forward and than back. There is no f***ing way he's going to consistently hit with that start to a swing. It makes it completely impossible for him to get a good fastball without completely cheating.

Tigers announcers:

 

"That's the scouting report on Fields, good fastball hitter, so Verlander starts him out on a nice bender."

 

Yeah, keep doing that Verlander!

Walk will fix him.

K.

Twins put up 6 runs in first.

I will say this, aside from that timing mechanism to start the swing, his swing looks good and he does a great job with weight shift and everything along those lines. I've seen many hitters have there timing mechanisms altered with a lot of success so hopefully Walk and Baines can work with Josh and get something figured out.

 

Remember what Jeff Pentland did to Sammy Sosa.

Good to see that our minor league instruction allows these large flaws in the swing to get through without any change.

Gave him HGH?

Verlander has thrown 45 pitches through 2. That was a 27 pitch inning there in the 2nd for him.

 

I like this game plan a hell of a lot better than the first pitch swinging against goggles last night.

Yeah... Brian Anderson says hi, Jerry Owens as well, since he admitted nobody ever taught him how to get a bunt down in the minors.

Comebacker to Danks, barely avoids the broken bat, but gets Miggy.

good lord, Danks almost took that bat in the face
