OT Tigers vs Twins 8/27/11
Verlander going for 20.
76 pitches through 4 not vintage Verlander especially in the 1st. Hope Tigers can put some runs on the board here, so the bullpen can mop up for 3 innings

After a double and single you got those runs you were looking for.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
Yeah buddy. Good hustle on Raburn's part to get into 2nd and set up the 2nd run. I don't think his injury is severe, looks as if he jammed his finger on the SS knee

Jersey Shore is getting too popular

Dorrough is pissed you're giving Paulie D props.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
JV is getting tagged this inning.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
2 big homers for the Twins could the lead to 4-2. Hard for the Twins or anybody for that matter to put runs up against Verlander without the use of the long ball.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
for the Twins to put up runs on anybody
August 27th, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
you see the bottom of the order giving JV this much trouble.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
4 runs to a minor league lineup
August 27th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
Well that sucks. 4-4 after 6. Hopefully the O can bail Justin out and get him his 20th this afternoon
August 27th, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
Big hit from Delmon. YES. Delmon got some Willie Horton in him. Got a similar build to Willie and even a somewhat similar batting style. I remember Willie being fidgety just like Delmon and neither was known for their defense.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
You old.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
I say I'm old but I'm good, like anyother primitive would.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
one more and if you were playing pick up baseball as a kid and you were Willie Horton, you had to do Willie's stance and idiosyncrasies including grabbing your crotch as you stood in the batters box

Verlander gets the win or no decision.

Delmon Young showing off his dilithium.
August 27th, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
verlander wins his 20th, gratz
August 27th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
JV, and great job by the pen.
August 27th, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
nice for JV and the tigers to get a win on a day when he didn't have his best stuff.
August 27th, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
I was at the game, and it was fantastic to hear the hopeless cries for verlander to get hurt, quit, etc as early as the first inning. Great for him to get 20.
August 27th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
I see you, JV
August 27th, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^

Is he really the 46th Tiger pitcher to record 20 wins? They said that at the end of the telecast. I can't believe they've had that many. (I assume they meant that it was the 46th 20-win season by a Tiger pitcher, but still.)
August 27th, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
not by this list. Verlander makes 44 by my count, but many of them are duplicates. 23 different pitchers before Verlander won 20 at least once in a Tiger uniform. Many of the ancient MLB teams are in the same boat
