Well, we asked for it, and now we got it.  Rick Knapp is out as the Tigers pitching coach, Jeff Jones is in.  The Tigers’ pitching staff has been awful over the last two years, and really hasn’t been good as a whole since 2006.  But is Knapp the culprit?  Or the scapegoat for Dombrowski’s under [...]

Toledo 7, Indianapolis 1 (Pirates) Fu Te Ni (LHP) started for the Mud Hens and made it 4 1/3 innings before being replaced. Ni did not factor in the decision but looked good as he allowed just 3 hits and 3 walks with no runs. Matt Hoffman (LHP) ended up earning the win after 3 [...]

I chose to watch the alternate baseball reality version of yesterday’s game, where the Tigers were rained out in the 3rd inning.  No word so far on the makeup date.  I hear there was another version of the game played;  I hope I didn’t miss anything.

It was exciting enough that Aubrey Huff had [...]

They might be giants. Than again, who knows.  The Giants are the reigning champs of MLB, so they are certainly not to be discounted.  And once again, their pitching is top-notch.  Lincecum, Cain (who recorded his career 1,000th K last night), and the surprising Vogelsong are easily the class of the league, and The Beard [...]
