Well it looks like the Tigers have filled one hole in their rotation, for now until someone else gets hurt. Kenny Rogers is back and will start against the White Sox on Wednesday. Chad Durbin will be Thursday’s starter, and with a pen full of reinforcements from Toledo his role as reliever shouldn’t be missed.
Justin Verlander gets and extra day off and it will be Verlander/Robertson/Bonderman against Seattle this weekend.

OK I’m gonna get myself down t my favorite tavern, get me a cold one, and watch this with the greatest interest
pitching is my favorite subject in baseball and I think it is the key to the game
we need to be realistic though and I still like the idea of Kenny for Pitching Coach
Army leadership taught us that “an effective commander uses his men and his equipment in accordance with their capabilities” and I have always thought this was a most excellent note
and it certainly applies to pitchers
if all the guy has is a fast ball he’s gonna have to throw fastballs
and that leads to development
MLB pitcher shold have both a rising and a tailing fastball and back that up with a good change-up. although generally pitchers are taught the curve as their 2d pitch
Zoom did real good with his curve against the As
Zoom throwing a curve ball?
Yeah
Team and Player development
Every game is an opportunity
these are the keys to improvement and improvement is the key to the World Series
