Glad Leyland is playing Boesch, all 3 game's he's played in, it looks like he's swinging the bat really well, even if its an out, he's hitting the ball well. Some may know, i'm a HUGE Avila fan, but he's really starting to worry me, he's letting alot of balls get passed him and looks extremely uncomfortable at the plate right now, lets hope the Tigers shell Bergesen tonight

Avila came to play today! 2 for 2 thus far with a double, homer and 4 RBIs

This has been a good game so far.

The Tigers bats have woken up tonight. I hate when these two teams play. I used to live in Michigan and now I live Maryland.

Open up the floodgates! Verlander is primed for a win and a nice 7-8 inning day

[MOTORCITY]

why didnt coke pitch today?JV cant pitch every game

[gladdyontherise]

Because Verlander pitched today on normal rest, its better that Verlander start, better chance for the team to win, most teams did the same thing since there was an extra off day...

[MOTORCITY]

oh just thinking coke could of maybe got the win and JV could pitch another day tigers are hitting really well.

[gladdyontherise]

The more starts for our best pitcher the better..i'd much rather have Verlander pitch on normal rest than doing the 5 man rotation just to do it..

Verlander with a quick inning, most likely going out for the 8th

ya that makes sence
