We already know Brieske’s no good. We needed to give Misiewicz a chance to show us he isn’t, too.

Shouldn’t be surprised, actually, this is how Misiewicz pitched in Toledo, too.

8-3, I’m out.

When your pitching staff is decimated by injuries, you end up with pitchers like Anthony Misiewicz.

Yikes that was awful in left just now.

Every time I see Ezekiel Duran, I keep thinking of Erubiel Durazo.

I can’t help but think this was imposed on them, rather organically springing up from among them.

Man, I gotta tell you, that hockey helmet/stick schtick has gotten so super lame, the players don’t care about it even while they’re doing it.

Line drive missile outta here! Who wants to option TORK! now!

Yup, If it bounced off the wall a little differently it might have been an error, even though it would have been the exact same throw, because baseball.

Way for Brendan White to gut that inning out after two walks. He’s off to a solid start in his career.

Runner held at third.

Did Bally really just make me have to look at Trevor Thompson instead of showing me the play??

Lol Shreve sucked so bad tonight he couldn’t even throw his glove in the dugout!

For us?

Great first outing back by the kid, and he walked off the field under his own power, which is a plus anymore.

l-o-****ing-l. How long before we hear torn ACL for Vest? Tomorrow? If they already know then they should have ripped the band-aid off fan's hearts by telling us all at once.

Probably not—the ball has not changed in size since 5-for-4-inch-140-pound pitchers were trodding the earth in the 1880s. They are all between five and 5-1/4 ounces. Long story short: deadening the ball will reduce fear of the home run and allow pitchers to pitch to contact, letting their fielders get outs for them by throwing strikes to down-the-order-hitters to get more balls put the ball in play.

Deaden the ball and it won't have to be like that anymore.

Cisnero is definitely on the block and there are a few contenders who need help in the pen. Milwaukee, Arizona, Toronto, maybe even Tampa. Brewers I think look the most likely as of today.

I think Monroe is simply out of his depth with Dan because Dan dives deep into the minutiae of the game, which requires a lot of prep work, and Monroe is a simple just-go-out-and-play kind of guy. I’d like to know what kind of Tigers broadcast viewer actually likes Craig Monroe. There have to be some of those folks around, right? If everybody hated him he wouldn’t have a job, would he? I imagine it’s the kind of topline fan who believes that Miggy is still hands down the best player on the team. (And over the last month or so, that’s not far from the truth, isn’t it?)

You misspelled “Vest”.

Horrific pitching injuries aside, 14 strikeouts against the run-scoringest team in baseball, which also strikes out below league average, is pretty darn good. EDIT: what am I talking about, I mean 16 strikeouts.

I like him. It would be nice if he can make it to the next Tigers playoff team.

ROG-BOMB!
