OT- Tigers Open Thread 4/14

Submitted by david from wyoming on

Wilk gets the start to fill in for Fister and made it through the 1st inning.

The Tigers are the only team in all of MLB to not give up a run in the first inning yet this season. Long gone are the days of Jeremy Bonderman I guess.

I'm curious as to what Sox fans think of Beckham, he was so highly touted and aside from his rookie year he looks like complete garbage at the plate. I don't watch the Sox all that often so I would like some feedback as to what some of you think. 

P.S. can we have Chris Sale please, we'll give you Binge and his, "great worth ethic."

He's mentally broken and completely lost at the plate right now, no one really knows what the hell happened to him from being considered a can't-miss guy before the draft and hitting well his rookie year and then just falling apart.  Thing is, he's above average defensively and they don't really have anyone else to replace him -- the backup middle infielder on the roster is another good glove/suspect bat guy.  So they'll keep running him out there hoping he figures it out.

This year will be, we'll go stretches where we hit the shit out of the ball and stretches where we slump. A lot of long swings on this team, not a whole lot of manufacturing...
