Suddenly my Padres team is exciting to watch. Cabrera is finally a major league level shortstop, Denorfia is a solid hitter, Headley is healthy, Gyorko is runner for rookie of the year, Alonso is great, and Hundley is rebounding from last years shit season. When Quentin comes back along with Grandal they might finish the season above 500. The only downside is our Jekyll/Hyde pitching staff. You never know what you will get. As long as Bud Black doesn't fuck things up this is looking to be a fun season

The Padres were great last year from June-September.

Rosenthal reporting rumors that the Angels are planning to court Tony La Russa out of retirement if they fire Mike Scioscia.

Mike Scioscia is a hell of a manager, would be crazy if he got fired.
Glad I went to bed.

How did the game end? I gave up and passed out in the 13th.
lol
scioscia might be the worst manager in the AL.
yeah, im not really concerned about sabathia as a pitcher if his velocity doesnt come back, especially with that nasty changeup he has.
lolz
Apparently on a home plate collision because Smoak is slower than death.

I hate west coast games. Missed what sounds like an excellent game between the Tigs and M's last night. Might watch a replay of it at work this morning before the afternoon matchup.
And jesus christ Square, you never have a single good thing to say about this team. You're the Brandon Inge of Tigers fans.

:jnc @ post.
Mikey should apply for the dodger job soon. At least they have pitching there.
Angels GM should be fired for not getting decent pitching

Is there a website that has game-by-game stats for individual players, down to the at-bat by at-bat statistic?
If so, I'll give you a virtual thumbs up if you can link me.

They most likely acquired him becuase of how well he pitches in the AL West.
Career stats at Safeco, Oakland Coliseum, Angel Stadium:
75 G, 458.1 IP, 3.30 ERA, 6.28 K/9, 2.78 BB/9, 1.16 WHIP
Rangers Ballpark is the only one in which he does not have decent numbers and he hasn't pitched in Minute Maid enough to really matter. I think he was supposed to be their #4 which is not asking for too much.

Isn't that true for pretty much any pitcher? Oakland, Safeco, and Angel's stadium are all pitcher friendly. Rangers park is a hitter's paradise.
I can't imagine a world without this.
Yep, and see you in a couple hours/days when you finally find your way away from the site. I found myself looking at pitching stats from 1912 yesterday.
Nice to know he has moderate success playing in extreme pitchers parks.

I do actually, but I'm a realist. I'm sorry that even after last season, being a Tiger's fan I'm skeptical no matter what. My co-workers call me Valenti for a reason.

lol!!! no. It's up between him and Ron Washington as to who is the worst manager in the AL.
And yes, Dipoto (GM of the Angels) should be fired on the spot for crippling the franchise in just two years.
The point is he has a track record (a decent one) in those parks. It's true that most pitchers will perform better in pitchers parks but he has proven to pitch well within the division. He is a #4 at $8.5 million who is only locked for 1 season. He was a 2.5 WAR pitcher before last season.

It's ok to admit you watch them ironically, but predicting a bad outcome every time isn't quite the definition of a realist or skeptic. Not even a pessimist or a concern troll, just an obnoxious fan who has nothing to say if he doesn't have something negative to offer. If you were funny it'd at least be a little endearing.
If the Tigers were as awful as your posts indicate it'd be understandable. But there's a good chance this is the best Tigers team you're going to see in your lifetime and you're using this time to soak in the smug satisfaction of being right when something goes wrong.
That being said, anything you have to say about Valverde is 1000% justified. But your posts sound like we have Inge, Young, Raburn, Penny, Rhymes, and the ghost of Magglio Ordonez still on the roster.
whats incorrect at this post? hes a terrible manager. he gets nothing out of his players.

He has been. Though some were paid off some not with the lack of performance from the rest of the team namely our supposedly aces and mvps :/

Has this been building up inside of you? Its okay if we don't see eye to eye on things or if we look at things a little different.
I'm sorry, I am not here to amuse you.

It's true that he's pitched well in a division where (up to this point) 3/4ths of the parks were extremely pitcher friendly. He was a 2.2 WAR pitcher before last season and just turned 30. $8.5 million ain't exactly a steal.
Absolutely it's ok to disagree. It's fine to be skeptical, critical, and err on the side of caution. I wouldn't say it's something that's been building up inside, just something I've noticed scrolling through this thread this season.
No apology needed, I'm not here to be entertained by you.

Guys, Verlander pitches today. I know we will sweep dem M's and go into Angels Stadium with complete dominance in mind given their lack luster season! Fielder will get out of this small slump he has today, no more strike outs! The Tiger's bullpen proved me wrong last night, despite some shaky moments, they got the job done!
Go Tigers Go!
Go Tigers Go!
It's not a steal but at least it's only 1 season. I would have taken a chance on McCarthy even with his injuries instead of Blanton.

shit just got worse man. Travis D'Arnaud has a "non-displaced fracture in left foot." sent to NYC to be checked. here's what Collins had to say: "I feel terrible for Travis. I feel terrible for us."
Welp. Mets is happening.
