A lot of nice comments for Jim Leyland on Twitter.

Nice changeup from Veras

Avila kills us in these situations. Expecting a walk off.

Isn't Detroit's radar gun 2-3 mph slower?

And that should of been strike 3

or a lead off walk that's sure to score

It's actually an interesting question as to who is faster. The consensus is that Iglesias is not fast, especially for a MIF. However, how slow does that make him compared to a "fast big guy" like Garcia? Garcia has definitely done a better job of stealing bases in the minor leagues and has a bit lower rate of GDP than Iglesias

Every report I've seen on him rates his speed as above average .He was rushed through the Red Sox minors so his bat has some catching up to do but I think he can hit as well as Ozzie Smith did. And with his glove he'll be around a long time .I like Garcia better but there's no way I would've whined about getting Iglesias. But I value defense a lot more than some when you already have the pitching.

I would have liked Iglesias if he was the second best player in the deal

Anyone surprised no pinch runner ? Bench might be kind of short already so giving Robin the benefit of the doubt here.

going to be a media circus at the cell

Agreed, as it would have given them more flexibility to unload Alexei.

I think this team is on the same plan as the board is. TPSM

I have NEVER seen a team make so many base running mistakes in one season.

 

Mind boggling.

nice play by roid boy

Peralta has backne.

Flower's worked out well there . NOT

I love how they show him do the right thing and pause to see what happens, but then simply sees it incorrectly

I think he did the righ thing. It was the only way he was going to score on that.

Hunter hurting

Let's see if we can't get Donnie's ERA up to 8

He wasn't going to score there even if it dropped . He's a catcher and it was shallow enough for the SS to catch it. Maybe he's scores if he was off at the crack of the bat but he wasn't.

This team has to have some of the dumbest players ever..

Veal!

If you want to have fun, go to baseball-reference and look at Detroit's salary commitments over the next 5 years. It is going to become near impossible for them to add to the team, especially as they have to re-up with Miggy and think about whether to keep VMart, Schezer, Fister, etc

Dunn 4 hits and .226
