The Blue Jays?

Them again?

The Tigers and Jays really have to start seeing other teams, because this relationship is getting pretty stale.

Well since I managed to miss this game live and most of the replay, these are nothing more than box score observations:

Scott Sizemore, who came into the game just 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits, displaced a ball from the park on the first pitch he saw in the game. He also singled. It was part of a three-run first inning for Detroit that also saw Miguel Cabrera homer.

On the other side of the equation, Tigers starter Armando Galarraga gave up three runs -- all in the third inning -- to give away the tie. I don't know if he's doing anything to impress manager Jim Leyland and GM Dave Dombrowski outside of game situations, but right now you have to wonder if he's doing the most to make the starting rotation decision difficult for the braintrust. Actually, I'm not sure you do have to wonder that. He's clearly not getting results in the games.

The highlight of the game was again young right-hander Jacob Turner, who'll have some pretty nice stories to tell his teammates when he joins his minor-league team this year. He threw two more scoreless, hitless innings in his second "A" game appearance after striking out the side against the Yankees last week.

And the other interesting event -- outfielder Brennan Boesch hit the ball a country mile. Possibly further.

So that was pretty cool at least.

WOW!

I am honored. Even though I saw the taped version, hearing their voices gave me warm fuzzies.

Welcome to Detroit, NO sissies allowed

I saw the taped version as well

…and actually managed to not check on the game, or baseball in general, from 1-5pm so that the game would seem fresh.

How bout Turner...

I hope he is a Flying Tiger this year!

I so very badly want him in West Michigan!
But probably not… :(

Turner

I think starts in Lakeland and moves to Erie.

Agree.

He has been pretty impressive on the field. He handles himself really well, even after falling behind and walking some guys.
The more I watch him and marvel that he’s only 18 years old(!), the more I forget I ever wanted another hard-throwing lefty to be drafted instead…

Andrew Miller

We need more of that, eh? :)

by momotigers on Mar 16, 2010 10:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

Matzek would have been better than Miller… Maybe… Whatever…

by DetroitTigersGeek on Mar 16, 2010 5:29 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I hope he is in Erie

I go to at least 15-20 games a year(seawolves games) ,Then I also make it to Cleveland for 3-4 games against the Tigers.
