Two youngsters the Tigers will be depending upon heavily in 2010 will be on the mound. Max Scherzer (and his 30.86 ERA) gets the start, hoping to to get untracked. In relief, Ryan Perry will try to build on his already impressive spring (3.2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0 H, 0 R), bidding for a setup role in the bullpen.

A rookie behind Maggs?

WOW! Like I said in the Yanks thread regarding BIggy and Clete…If i was a pitcher I’d walk Maggs to get to the rookie

Yay! Two games for the price of one!

Now to figure out exactly how I’m going to follow both of them.

hard hit ball by Magglio

his power may not be back, but he’s going to hit a lot of doubles

Looked great

Locating and his stuff looks nasty. He does take his time, though. Get ready for 3+ hour games when he pitches

by Cecil_Fielder on Mar 13, 2010 1:29 PM EST up reply actions  

No problem

The more baseball the better! (Disclaimer: if those 3+ hours are converted to wins…)

Mets radio broadcasters

Are impressed by the size of our right infield.

Thanks…

Oliver 1-2-3 with a K

That boy got skillz to pay the bills

by Cecil_Fielder on Mar 13, 2010 2:21 PM EST reply actions  

Yes, but...

This is the harder game for many of us to follow, especially in SE MI. I have the Tigers vs evil empire tuned in on the radio, and depending upon you guys to keep us informed on the Mets game.

I think Al

jinxed perry and reverse jinxed Scherzer.

by Trysdor on Mar 13, 2010 3:07 PM EST reply actions  

Yikes. Perry imploded...

And why does it seem that Miner always has a rough outing whenever he comes in the middle of an inning?

by DetroitTigersGeek on Mar 13, 2010 3:38 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Max pitched like he can today

That’s what I’ve been expecting from him all along. I’m not too worried about those first couple outings
