2015 Detroit Tigers

http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/57157/tigers-looking-more-like-a-complete-team

Don't look now, but they are the best team in baseball, according to their record.

How are they doing this, they traded their ace, their other ace is on the DL, they didn't shore up their bullpen.

Good thread, Rick.

Thanks.

Uh oh, if they beat us the first time we play each other than we will never hear the end of it from OldFan.

Nathan left a rehab appearance with an elbow issue. Doesn't sound like he will be back anytime soon.

The Tigers were very fortunate to have stolen the first game of the series with the Yankees on Monday.

Their offense was thoroughly silenced by the Yankees' pitching in each of the first 2 games.

Please wake up tonight, and batter the Highlanders into submission.

What was feared is true. Nathan tore his UCL and will need TJS. This is most likely the end of his career. Shame he has to go out this way.

Bauer didn't start today. Was feeling under the weather. House started in his place and I feel bad for Indians fans. Tigers knocked him out during the 5th inning.

Simon looked good and made it into the 7th with 111 pitches.

Guess the Os medical staff must be diagnosing Verlander.

Did you note, he won't let himself even throw, until he is pain-free and no soreness?

Thats not the doctors, that Justin. Hopefully Kate is helping his spend his idle time.
