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
Welcome to Detroit, NO sissies allowed
I get the feeling today's lineups mean very little
After all, he’s got Santiago leading off

Yay! Two games for the price of one!
Now to figure out exactly how I’m going to follow both of them.
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 13, 2010 12:38 PM EST reply actions
Choose the base game (TV i would think)
and then switch to the radio on commercials

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

This is my first chance getting a look at Scherzer in a Tigers uniform (outside of still pictures, obviously)
He looks bigger than he did in Arizona
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…)

Yes
But the Tigers finally have a baserunner

Things I am learning about myself:
I cannot follow 2 baseball games at the same time.
Mets radio broadcasters
Are impressed by the size of our right infield.
Oh I thought Willis was starting.....
……Max pitched well I see.

In Amazin' Avenue has very interesting topic
http://www.amazinavenue.com/2010/2/27/1328719/all-time-most-hated-mets
= > Most hated Tigers players ??
there are some i don't like as much as I like others (or a whole lot less)
but I can never hate any player who dons the Old English D
Welcome to Detroit, NO sissies allowed
Deke Scram takes over in LF.
I don’t care how he plays, that is an All-Star name.
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.

Don Kelly just made a silly-looking error
The runner would’ve been out at second but Boesch made a crappy throw from the outfield
Uh oh...
I better watch what I write in my game threads!

Keeping up with his pattern
Miner has given up exactly two runs in each of his outings (I think)
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 13, 2010 3:09 PM EST up 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
