June 5, 201411 yr Verlander has been bad for five starts now. Torii Hunter made an error that he didn't pitch over, and now Brett Lawrie took him deep. 6-3 Jays, top 6 Big series next week. Huge.

June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Bad for five starts ... Hmm is Verlander still an ace? No, not that the term "ace" has any real connotation.
June 5, 201411 yr Bad for five starts ... Hmm is Verlander still an ace? If you had to start a playoff series tomorrow with Danks, Quintana, Sale and Verlander (assuming all are equally rested), what order are you putting them in?

June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) How about Scherzer, Sanchez, Porcello, Smyly, Verlander? As of right now you'd probably take Verlander over Smyly but only because of the big guy's history.
June 6, 201411 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 12m The Tigers have a minus-50 run differential in their last 17 games . . . Folks, that is hard to do.
June 6, 201411 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 12m The Tigers have a minus-50 run differential in their last 17 games . . . Folks, that is hard to do. I'm not greedy--I'll settle for them being only minus-25 over their next 17 games.
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) How about Scherzer, Sanchez, Porcello, Smyly, Verlander? Probably Verlander 3rd. Smyly hasn't been a full-time starter since his rookie year and you just can't put Porcello ahead of Verlander in the post-season when you're paying him that kind of money...he's got to prove in the post-season that he's going to get bombed at least once and maybe twice before you pull him from the rotation. Look how long the Red Sox stuck with Peavy when he was giving them mediocre to terrible starts.

Sox desperately need to split with Detroit in that 4-game series. Losing 3 or more and forget it, we won't be contending this year with the Tigers in that scenario. Time to play with them on their level.

June 8, 201411 yr White Sox will pick him up as Dunn's replacement for next season, haha. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...-180411853.html Scherzer taking out an insurance policy on himself to protect against $144 million injury...surely will be a new trend for high-end pitchers.

June 9, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 10h In the ninth innings of games: the Tigers have pitched 50 2/3 innings, and allowed 46 runs.
June 9, 201411 yr Anthony Castrovince @castrovince 1h The Tigers’ 9th-inning numbers are staggering: 7.71 ERA, .923 OPS against, 24 extra-base hits allowed. Has given a pulse to rest of Central.
June 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 02:30 AM) That's what Kansas City's season has been like for their fans as well...a microcosm on one play.
June 13, 201411 yr Baseball Reference @baseball_ref 5m Scherzer had 178 career GS before his 1st career CG. That was the longest drought to start a career in last 100 yrs: http://gadel.me/ST3Lrq
