Jesus..they are the same stat wise. I like that Fister only got one year at 7 which is the same type of deal Pelfrey should had been offered.

I would have preferred Fister to Pelfrey also, but their relative value is pretty similar.  Agree that second year seems dumb, but I think we all said that when we heard about it.  And Pelfrey is a better option than Anibal right now, which makes my head hurt. 

 
Terrific job by the bullpen tonight:

7IP

1 R

7 H

1 BB

7 Ks

JWil gave up the run, but he's been their best reliever this year. 

The use here is getting ridiculous though, they need the starters to go deeper.  JV has been the only guy to consistently do that.

"Sanchez's inning of work, by the way, almost certainly means Daniel Norris will be called up to take Matt Boyd's spot in the rotation for the series finale Thursday. Ausmus said that decision would be made Tuesday."

I'd rather see him get one more turn in Toledo, but the Mariners are a decent matchup - 17th in OPS vs. lefties, only 4 of which have an OPS > 800 (Cruz, Gut, Iannetta, and Lee).  Plus if they throw Sampson as scheduled then it isn't one of those lose today to win tomorrow sorta games in which a sacrificial lamb is throw out there just to chew up some innings then sent back to AAA the next day.  4 of 5 QS, 3 of which with very strong K:BB numbers, no HR's given up in 6 starts, and the bullpen needs a break...yeah, it's time.  Hopefully JV and Fulmer go deep today and tomorrow though.

 
Norris confirmed for Thursday. 

Also Fulmer will pitch tomorrow but his next start will be skipped.  And so it begins.

Another routine day at the office for Joe Jiminez...struck out the side. So far in AA Erie, 8 IP, allowed no runs, 4 hits, 1 walk, and 16 strikeouts. 

It's time Tigers.  :wub:

 
That is two nights in a row the Tigers pulled out a late win with a good effort by the bullpen.  Rondon seems to at least be a piece of the puzzle.  Still need a couple more reliable arms.

why they skipping him? just an innings count thing?

Yeah.  They can get away with it because of off days most weeks, he would have been scheduled to pitch Monday if they had a game.  So no game Monday, Sanchez Saturday for Pelfrey, Pelfrey on Tuesday and then I guess Norris, JZimm, JV, and then Fulmer.  But I'm guessing they see what Sanchez and Norris both do before really figuring this out.

So Fulmer's start vs. MIA on the 28th will be skipped but he'll start @ TB on July 3? Damn was counting on him for a 2 start week next week  :kicksrock:

Guess I should start paying attention to DET more.

i hope he has a really short lease, but with the bullpen getting worked so hard I doubt it.  I would try to save Greene for some long relief on Saturday.

Saturday may be one of those lose today to win tomorrow sorta games.  If it goes bad for Sanchez then throw out a guy like Molleken to eat some innings then send him back to Toledo after the game.  

 
Agree with pulling Fulmer there, he looked really shaky really quick.  No reason to risk his confidence or any kind of injury.

Nice job of Ryan to get out of it.

I know as a Tigers fan you don't care but I hate that he's not going to get a win out of this       :(      (nobody cares about your team, Fred!).  But I'm fall in favor of whatever helps him for the long run      :thumbup:

Yeah I have him in my home league and my dynasty league so I wanted him to stay in too.  But after he hit consecutive batters it seemed like a good idea to pull him, I think he's getting a bit tired.  He should be fresh and ready to roll in about ten days. 

 
I don't recognize any of these relief pitchers.  They are light out the last several games.  I was a bit surprised he did not give K-Rod the night off.

I agree as well, but have to wonder why he doesn't do the same when Pelfrey (or Sanchez) struggle. 

 
If Norris was gonna have an issue today, I thought it was gonna be with walks.  Instead, he's allowed two more homers in five innings than he's allowed in 60 innings all year.  And Cano just missed hitting a 4th there with two on. 

 
Kinda feel sorry for the Mariners, that's actually a good team.  First time we've swept them in Detroit since 1980, and they had to deplete their bullpen the past two days with the starter today leaving before the game even started. 

They need 2 of 3 this weekend though, I'm keeping the thread title just in case. 

 
VMart helped Brad look brilliant today.   

The addition of Rondon and Greene to the bullpen has been huge.

Agree.  I could bump what I said pre-season, and I will eventually, but Fulmer/Norris was what I thought was the key to the season.  Both have their faults but if these guys can deliver and the team gets legit bullpen help with guys like Greene, Rondon, and Jimenez then this team is a contender. 

But they have to beat KC and Cleveland, period.  Love the sweep of a good Mariners team but a sweep of the Tribe would mean so much more.  I'm coming around to the group. but the starting pitching has to be there.  Everything else will work itself out IMO. 

 
I hate saying any one game is a must win, especially in June, but today feels like one.  Indians are on a roll, their bullpen is fresh, and the matchup tomorrow sucks.  It doesn't need to be a blowout, just get Salazar out of the game early and Zimm deep into this one.
