OT - Detroit Tigers vs KC Royals Open Thread: I suggest you tune in
Currently 0-0 in the bottom of the 6th. FIster is pitching a great game, everyone needs to turn on their tvs and watch this game.

second time this season aquaman.... ¬¬

Well I recall you being less than fond of the deal for Fister, what are your thoughts about the trade at this moment?
August 30th, 2011 at 11:45 PM ^
My thoughts are that his pitching profile has completely changed since he's come to Detroit. His K rate has almost doubled, which is unexpected and has made him much more of an effective pitcher. If he can keep striking out guys at the rate he has been, he should continue to pitch well. His career numbers don't bear this out, but for Detroit's sake I hope he can.

Your obvious disdain for one of the oldest customs in the game is a living advertisement of why negbangs should be allowed again.

Great game so far, now need to get the bats rolling.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
Fister has been dirty tonight. Actually, he's been real good both of his last two starts.
Let's just get him some run support. I don't like how the White Sox continue to creep around behind us in the standings... a win tonight would be nice.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
indeed a great game....was about to post a thread myself.
how about that 3-0 count he just turned into a strikeout too?
August 30th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
We need to score a run or two first.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
Tune in folks.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
This is the fastest baseball game I've ever watched. And Fister is 66.7% of the way to historic. I really hope we score at least one run if that is still happening.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
Holy faster, Fister, this is the fastest Fister game I've ever seen.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
The problem is, this Francis character, how has a season BAA of .291(!) is having an almost equally dirty game.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
which is what makes this game seem like its in hyperdrive!
August 30th, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
Fuck.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:23 PM ^
Yep. We had to start the thread, didn't we?
August 30th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
This is a good game, that I wanted everyone to watch. I don't know what you are talking about...
August 30th, 2011 at 8:23 PM ^
ah crap...well still an awesome game being pitched right now
August 30th, 2011 at 8:23 PM ^
Great timing...
August 30th, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
well you fucked that up
August 30th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
First rule of a possible no-hitter... NEVER MENTION THE NO-HITTER grrrrr
August 30th, 2011 at 8:32 PM ^
Read the OP, I didn't.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
can we rename Inge automatic out?
August 30th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
Outomatic?
August 30th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
This will likely be one of the best pitched games by any pitcher in our division all season, and I'll be really pissed if he gets a loss for his efforts.
August 30th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
They have not been playing good all-around baseball the past 3 games. They are either hitting well and pitching like garbage, or pitching well (tonight) and barely hitting.
August 30th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Big single to tie the game at 1-1
August 30th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
I see you Mags
August 30th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
can someone help me finda place to watch this game online for free thanks.
August 30th, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
Let's end it in regulation
August 30th, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
Santiago to the rescue!!!! As Haray Caray used to say; "It might be, it could be, it is, Home Run Ramon Santiago"
August 30th, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
Walk Off!!!
August 30th, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
I have to admit, the Tigers are scrapping for wins. I really like this team...
August 30th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
Anyone seen a his numbers since coming on with the Tigers? I recall three wins and zero losses but I know I miss games.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
it was either his first and second start, he got bombed in that one. He has been very good since that game though. He is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA in his starts with the Tigers.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:59 PM ^
Fister is a Sabre-metrician's wet dream. The guy has all the the advanced stats in his favor, had the worst run support in the majors in Seattle, and now he's got a team that has offense to bring to his back (tonight not withstanding). The Tigers may have gotten a steal in getting this guy. He's not going to be Greg Maddux, but I think he's the dependable #3 starter the Tigers have been looking for since Bonderman washed out.
August 30th, 2011 at 11:00 PM ^
Fister may be the second best pitcher on the staff at this point. He has had a solid year and has been very reliable since he was obtained. The same cannot be said of Scherzer, Porcello or Penny.

How 'bout Joaquin Benoit? He's had an ERA of "no" for just shy of a month now.
Also, this happened:
August 31st, 2011 at 3:26 PM ^
Tigers one out away from a Wednesday afternoon victory. Royals have runner on 2nd with 2 out
August 31st, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
The Tigers win in comeback fashion. Valverde 40 for 40
