2013 Tigers Thread

I'm keeping with the under on hits...

Yeah I never thought they could hit him 4 times... They look awful. They're gonna get crushed this season in the AL. AL West is a pretty tough division too with Texas and LAA, although they haven't gotten it goin yet this year yet.
 
Watching the first 5 innings of this game just reminded me of how much I hate National League baseball. Pitchers hitting is fuckin retarded.
 
I like the pitchers hitting. I like the manager having to make decisions. And Sanchez should be used to hitting from his time with the Marlins.
 
The game as a whole was very entertaining. The first couple innings were not steller for the Tigers. But Prince almost put the ball in the seats in his last AB.
 
I hate see him coming into a game. It's worse when the game is close. Hope they beat up Houston again so that they don't need him to pitch.
 
Yeah man I had a little hope for him the first several outings this year, but after seeing that disaster last night... He looked terrible. Threw ALL fastballs and any walk or single turns into a double because he can't hold runners at all. Valverde is not gonna be the solution for our team if we think we can really win the WS this year. Valverde isn't good enough for a WS team.
 
package castalonios porcello and draft pick and go get a closer!!!! rondon is atleast a year away

If someone doesn't step up by the trade deadline I'm sure we will be looking to make a move. I'm betting Valverde is on a pretty short leash.
Dombrowski has made good trades and free agent signings so I'll trust him to make the right decision on finding a closer if we need to this season.
 
I really don't think I'm the type to freak out and overreact to things throughout the baseball season, but I'm beginning to be concerned about JV. He hasn't been really sharp yet in a single game this year and he seems to be having control problems. Way too many walks and throwing too many pitches in the early innings.

This was a truly embarrassing performance for all of us Tigers fans to see from our ace. When your team gets a great pitcher on the ropes and scores runs you absolutely cannot come out the next inning missing the strike zone, walking in 2 runs, and then just getting lit up and blowing all the good work your guys did in the first half of the inning. Totally pathetic and unacceptable. JV needs to get his shit right because I'm tired of these poor performances.
 
What do you think about this Swif? I'm no overreacter, but I'm honesty getting concerned about JV... He just doesn't look like the 2011 2012 Verlander so far.
 
Always starts slow. He'll get better. But he had no command tonight.

Yeah I'm kinda feeling the same way. If he could have gotten a shut down inning in the bottom of the 3rd I think we coulda scored some more runs off Darvish. Our offense had him working hard and on the ropes. We needed to get them right back out there for the 4th and JV just didn't have it.
