I’ll admit it. As this game got started I feared the Tigers and Doug Fister were doomed for a 2-1 loss. From early on it was clear that Fister brought his A-game, but it wasn’t clear the offense showed up at all — evident by the ridiculous pitches Miguel Cabrera and poor Alex Avila and just [...]

The Tigers simply can’t deliver when given platinum opportunities to do so. Leaving the bases loaded in the first and fifth innings cost them Game 1 – a game in which they out hit the Rangers. Other thoughts: Justin Verlander certainly pitched well enough to win that game. Homeplate umpire Tim Welke had a wildly [...]
