OT Tigers at Tribe series thread
Lots of Tiger threads lately, we used to have series threadson here regularly. Seems reasonable to have a thread for this huge series. We must not get swept, but with today's news I think getting 1 of 3 might be acceptable.
Today's new being Zimmerman was placed on DL. I think this only means he is missing tomorrow' and sunday's starts, since it would be back dated to his last start and next week is the break. It hurts because he potentially could have pitched well, but in reality he has been bad since the groin injury and Sanchez might not be a big downgrade.

LOL guess a rain delay is the Tigers only hope
Their opponent got dumped 17-1 yesterday.

A weather delay only benefits Cleveland's worn out bullpen if this ends up getting called.
feel free to repost this dandy there.
I mean, Randy Quaid's character (when things were going positively, of course) in the "Major League" films wasn't based on you, was it?
Desperately need to take tonight's game as Sanchez has been hot garbage against the Tribe this year, I suppose against all opponents as well but ya catch my drift.
Leave it to Cleveland to have a rain delay on the 4th of July. Perfect evening in the Detroit area.
Salazar is a primo talent. I think his first game was against the Tigers 2 years ago and I thought the guy was going to dominate the league. Couldn't believe how bad his numbers were last year. That 2.22 ERA is much more in line with how his pitches look.
He had that great game against the TIgers in 2013 (i think) until Miggy took him deep in the 8th inning after striking out 3 times previously and ended up being the winning run.
Yep, and a week before or latere I think he did the same to mariano rivera.
I'm watching the Citrus Bowl while waiting out this weather delay.
I completely forgot about the announcers stupid reaction to the near pick that ended up being the Perry TD. "THAT WAS NEARLY A PICK SIX!" No. No it wasn't.
Well apparently Anibal is starting tomorrow with JZ to the DL ...siiigh

I haven't been watching the Tigers this year, so will someone tell me if we are playoff worthy or not.
it changes day to day. This is the biggest series of the year but 81 games left and all.
Had the season ended last night we would have been playing in the wild card elimination game. So yes? But it's been a strange season.
Double post.
Wildly inconsistent. But if Zimmermann can get back on track we have a pretty nice trio with Verlander, Fulmer, and Zimmermann that could win any series. Offense is good and bullpen is serviceable.
Indians are just another Ohio team that can't play in a little rain

and the side is retired in order. reading the box score, the tigers are not impressing early.
Tigers going to trade Castellanos for some pitching help.I don't think they have enough money to resign him anyway & his trade value may be as high as it's ever going to be.
Eligible for ARB 1 next year."Under control' yes but due a big raise Tigers can't afford.Just a prediction.
Castellanos FINALLY has his break out year and is under club control until 2020, and you think the Tigers are going to TRADE him?
0% chance of that happening. ZERO. High-production players playing for you before their FA years are pretty much the highest value players in MLB. Who cares what he costs in arbitration? It will be less than a comparable free-agent would cost to replace what he is currently doing, and even if it isn't it will come without the long-term risk required with guaranteed long-term FA contracts.
If the Tigers get lit up again they need to brawl. Dead searious. They've been a punching bag for the Indians in 9 games already without even a whimper yet. You have to show some fight somehow.
I don't dislike the Tribe in comparison to the Twins or the White Sox, but damn can someone please do us all a favor and destroy the POS drum. How can anyone enjoy that, I mean do the tickets that are right next to him have some sort of "buyer beware" addendum on them?
Twitter buzzing about Norris going to the locker room with Kevin Rand after that inning...rut roh raggy.
Broadcast showed Norris going down the tunnel with trainer Kevin Rand after that inning. May have hurt himself reaching for that grounder.

While these announcers over-analyzing him are awfully annoying, Salazar does look nasty out there.
Tigers showing tons of grit tonight.
Interesting
