Tigers/Saux, let's get it on!

Fresh off a three game sweep of the Twins, a beautiful day for baseball, the Tigers got to be feeling good about themselves. The Red Sox have to remember that drubbing to begin the season at Comerica, they should be up for this one too!

Fister's pitching, which means the Tigers will score 0.76 runs in this game.     Maybe the Q. Berry leadoff train will continue injecting this offense, though.   It's been a fun last few games watching deadly speed at the top of the lineup (no offense to A. Jackson who's had a tremendous start before the injury).

Nice hit by him, like to see those kind of hits. Hopefully we get some like that too. Fister looks like he's in the zone. "Crunch" Berry has injected a little "O" into the offense, let's hope he keeps it going. That would be great to have both him and Jackson in the lineup; I say Delmon needs a day off...:)

that keep on costing the Tigers? Honestly, it seems like every other game the umps are missing/making a horrible call that has a big impact on the game. How the hell did they miss that call, it doesn't matter if he foul tipped it, Laird clearly caught it. Do you fucking job you braindead morons.

I mean seriously this is becoming a trend, you had the missed call earlier the year on a bunted ball that hit the batter against Texas, a double by Cabrera that was clearly fair called fould against Chicago, the missed balk call against Cleveland and a couple others as well.

He should feel shitty for blowing a call that directly led to 3 runs. If he gets the call right in the first place, this never happens.

OTOH, the home plate umpire put this whole shitshow in motion to start with.

I'm not going to feel sorry for guys making a quarter-mil to work 140 games a year. Sorry.

As bad as that call was (and it was awful) it doesn't change the fact that Fister hasnt been good at all today.

the best offense in terms of runs scored in AL. You give an offense like that extra outs/strikes, and they are going to capitilize regardless of who is pitching.

Not to mention this is becoming a trend with the Tigers and umps, it is not just a one time occurence. There have been 4 or 5 obvious calls missed throughout the year, that have all been very costly . Like I said it is really annoying to see the Tigers start playing better in the last series, and than turn around and get screwed by the umps again this season.

Like I said it gave them more outs and they capitalized but if you've watched the game Fister has been knocked around pretty bad. Just doesn't seem to have it today, happens to every pitcher from time to time, except JV he's a freak.

I said anybody watching the Tigers all year would  have noticed a trend a bad/horrible calls that have directly cost the Tiger's runs. It is getting frustrating to say the least.

Okay with the emergence of Berry; I am ready to deal Dirks/Boesch, Worth, Raburn, and a couple of prospects, for a quality fielding 2nd baseman with some speed. Someone like the Twins second baseman. I like the added dimension Berry has brought and think a similar opportunity awaits at 2nd

Maybe so. But the Tigers have a glaring whole/hole at Second. Maybe not Casilla but someone who can cover ground at second and help out Porcello and Fister et al would be nice, and if that guy had some speed it would be a plus.

As far as Boesch; I think he is a nice player but hardly indispensable. For this teams needs, I would include Boesch in a deal for a quality 2nd baseman in a heartbeat.

Realistically 2nd basemen are hard to find, and teams don't usually trade this early in the season because most teams are still in the hunt. Personally I'd love for the Dombrowski to somehow swing a deal for Jemile Weeks of Oakland, but he would likely cost quite a bit. With Porcello, Max, and Fister arbitration eligible this year I expect one of them to be trade fodder because you can't pay all of them top dollar and Turner is cost controlled which is a good reason to keep him.

for some second basemean with absolutely no power. And let's not go crazy about Berry, guy has done a nice job so far, but he has been released by two or three different teams and was only hitting .270 in the minors. He will come down to earth at some point, and most likely in a big way.

And as far as Raburn goes, yes is terrible right now, but he has always been a second half player. I would hold onto to him to see if that pattern continues. I would think about sending him down in the meantime though, to keep Berry up.

The Tigers also  already have two good fielding second basemen on the roster in Worth and Santiago. Granted neither one is doing much offensively, but a guy like Casilla won't give you much more offensively, other than some added speed.

I think Houston is the place you look for trading partners.  The trade I would see is Porcell, Casey Crosby, and Young (or Boesch) for Wandy Rodriguez and Jose Altuve. There are a few reasons for this trade.

Houston moves to AL West next season and needs a DH and pitching with AL experience, this trade gives them that. 

The Tigers need a Left Handed starter, Wandy gives them that.  Tigers need a true lead off hitter, Altuve does that.  Tigers need a 2nd Basemand, Altuve does that.  

I know people are opposed to trading pitching prospects but Smyly has been solid this season, and Turner/Oliver are still around.

They're not going to want Young in a walk year, and I'm not in a hurry to unload outfielders in general, especially for a midget 2B and a 33 year old starter.

the Tigers need a leadoff hitter? Jackson was playing great prior to his injury, had cut down on his strikeouts so far this season, and was drawing alot of walks. His OBP so far this year has been very good as well. He has been one of the better leadoff hitters in the league so far this season.

I don't really have a problem with the type of trade you proposed other than the fact that I am too crazy about trading young pitchers for guys over 30, but Jackson is clearly mauturing into a very good leadoff hitter. It really doesn't look like a need going forward.

Honestly, what this team needs is for guys to simply start playing up to their career numbers (that includes guys like Raburn, Avila, Peralta, and Santiago), if that happens I honestly think their highest priority at the deadline may be another relief pitcher.

Good lord Altuve would look great in the ole English D, Houston gives up a lot in that deal you propsed though, might have to add Smyly or another prospect for Wandy and Jose. They could try a deal for a Neil Walker esque 2nd basemen as well.

No indication on whether they're going to check with the 1st base ump to be sure.
