It still sad to think that we could have had Fielder or Adrian Gonzalez if we had packaged away Beckham/Daniel Hudson.

 

I sincerely doubt either would have signed long term.

I love watching Quintana pitch

Sorry, forgot about him. Love watching him.

As someone who has largely been watching this season from a neutral baseball viewpoint, they can be really entertaining to watch.

 

I know I get myself in trouble on here for saying how good the Tigers are, but I think in 10 days, they're going to be the best team in baseball if they upgrade SP and 2B. Austin Jackson turning into a stud has made this team so much more dangerous.

There is no way Humber is better than Axelrod, and I really cringe when Axelrod is on the mound for the Sox.

I sincerely doubt either would have signed long term.

 

Nor should they have

How do you know Beckham has no trade value?

 

 

Well, if you were a GM of an opposing team, who would you trade your 2B for to replace him with Beckham?

 

Yeah, I know, Joe Borchard had almost no trade value and we got Matt Thornton for him.

 

But it's not like we are going to get Weeks or Ackley. Maybe Jermile Weeks. Betancourt. Robert Andino.

I'm surprised they didn't try to get Gavin back for this start, given his success vs the Tigers. Instead, you have him facing his nemesis tomorrow.

Exactly. Some of the decisions this org. makes is really crazy and makes you question if they know what they are doing.

Is it my fault that we have no farm system? Is it my fault our GM trades away prospects and mortgages the future? What's the point of playing and paying someone who only has negligible trade value? This org. needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. I've been saying this for years. This going for it every year isn't working.

 

No, it is your fault that you show up to this site and bring nothing but negative comments. Good or bad games, your comments are the same.

There is no way Humber is better than Axelrod, and I really cringe when Axelrod is on the mound for the Sox.

 

I'm no fan of Axelrod, but outside of the ridiculous 3 day rest start, I reluctantly have to agree with you. Axelrod has done a very impressive job against the top teams in the league.

I know I get myself in trouble on here for saying how good the Tigers are, but I think in 10 days, they're going to be the best team in baseball if they upgrade SP and 2B. Austin Jackson turning into a stud has made this team so much more dangerous.

Do not forget add Victor Martinez back to Tiger lineup, makes Sox look AAA!

Boesch has been getting some pitches to hit this series.

Batting practice continues.

 

Cabrera's homer was around 490.

 

 

Boesch is awesome right now. Bad decision to pitch to him with the open base.

f*** off Humber. Go to AAA and never come back please.

Dear 2011 First Half Humber,

 

I miss you.

boom goes the dynamite

For the love of God, give Phillip Humber his release.

Well Tigers threw ridiculous money at Fielder which no teams would really want to do, but signing Gonzalez to what he signed is reasonable.

If Yanks and Indians win today, we're still tied for the AL WC!

Humber.... I said it his last start, he should not have been given his spot back in the rotation. He has pitched like garbage since last ASB and wasnt that great in his rehab starts

The good news is the Tigers pitcher has an ERA like Humber's.

Humber is bad.. Perfect game was his last hooray

weird how much damage has come with 2 outs this week

You gotta be bleepin' me. How does Humber only give up 2 runs to Boston? Aren't the offenses of the Boston and Detroit both potent?

For the love of God, give Phillip Humber his release.

 

I think he gets one more start. I worry about KW overpaying for a starting pitcher now though, especially if he doesn't necessary fill a hole by using Quintana to acquire one.
