vs. TIGERS, 5/14 (Day Game)

[WEAVERMAN]

Anyone think the Royals series will be easy? Not with Ventura, Shields, Guthrie,Vargas.

The Orioles don't match up well against KC either.

Vargas isn't scheduled to pitch against us.

The pitching will be good. Once again, it will be up to the offense.

Excellent walk... you know Lough is going to be eager to steal here as he's itching to find some way to contribute.

I think he missed his chance back to back CB in the dirt...

[El Gordo]

Lough walks.

[scOtt]

Missed a meatball there.

[WEAVERMAN]

Once we bust out, the runs will come in bunches. Let's get to Verlander.

[schittenden]

As a starter his ERA is ~6. His peripheals look good but he gives up a ton of runs. I do think he looks good but he seems to never pitch as well as he should.

Are you talking about in his 5 ML starts?

Missed a meatball there.

The bats are missing those cut fastballs...

I didn't have the energy to look it up.

Manny just isn't Manny this year.

Manny just isn't Manny this year.

Most overrated player in baseball. He's a terrible hitter.

Not yet....

The bats are missing those cut fastballs...

The bats are just missing. Period.

[Jonesy10]

It's just sad watching this offense hit. They couldn't score more than 4 runs if they were facing a position player. It will be just another series where we score less than 7 runs. Absolute embarassment.
