Tigers can just never make it easy on themselves..

 

[elcheato]

I was laughing though when I saw he hit 2 homers, he hit 2 all this month with the Indians, and one was on a complete fluke inside the parker lol

 

[RipCity32]

Haha. They said that our hitting coach seen something in him that he would of loved to change (a mechanical thing). And apparently that is exactly what happened.

 

[elcheato]

There isn't much to change with him, he's pretty much just lazy imo. But he is a talented hitter, maybe he is playing for a contract, maybe he wants to win, but I'd venture to guess the first option, regardless I hope he does well. I liked him for a while, one of few Indians fans who did but he just fell out of favor with everyone.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm assuming he got tired of losing. I'm not trying to say that to bag on Cleveland, but you get what I'm saying. He was great when you guys were great, and now it's the opposite.

He said he wants to re-up in Detroit after this year. So maybe that will happen, I can't stand Inge anymore lol.

 

[elcheato]

Well, he was apart of the reason we were losing with his constant want to pull everything and his lack of defense. He really never realized the best part about him was that when he went opposite field he was a great hitter. I just honestly don't see him, as a winning player or someone I would want on a team who is looking to contend.

 

[RipCity32]

Well, I've only seen one game by him, so I can't say much to that lol. Hopefully he stats hitting the way he did in your contention days.

 

[elcheato]

He was a beast in the 2007 playoffs, was just crushing Red Sox pitching, we should have traded him after those playoffs when his value was high, but you win some you lose some.

 

[RipCity32]

Might of won this one still, I heard Soto is pretty damn good lol.

 

[elcheato]

meh, he's gotta put on muscle or he won't be pitching in the bigs.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah he is pretty damn skinny lol. But if he puts muscle on he will be damn good.

 

[elcheato]

The guy we got for Peralta better not be better then all the junk we got for Cliff Lee, that would piss me off lol

 

[snipezo]

Omg. We beat a sinkerballer!!!

 

[RipCity32]

Lmao. I hope not too. I'd rather not see Soto become a real good pitcher lol.

 

[elcheato]

I can't find anything out about Soto other then his stats, guess I'll just wait and see how good of stuff he has, but his stats do look good, even his strike out numbers.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah I honestly didn't even know he existed till a couple days ago lol.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Keep the HR's coming Johnny, lol. I didn't get to see the game since I'm camping but it was a great start for him, looks like the Tigers tried blowing it in the end, again.

 

[RipCity32]

Valverde had an off night to say the least lol.

 

[elcheato]

Yeah I honestly didn't even know he existed till a couple days ago lol.

That's pretty much how it works for most A ball guys until after a trade.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Valverde had an off night to say the least lol.

I seen someone say he threw 60 pitches!?!?!? Is that true? Can't see that.
