I forgot about 93 because Morris sucked so badly that year

--2B Brandon Inge got his first career start at second base Monday night and responded with what turned out to be the game-winning hit, a two-run home run in the fifth inning. "I shut my eyes and swung hard," Inge said. "That's pretty much what I do these days. (I was trying to) stay up the middle with the ball. I'm a lot stronger this year than I was last year, so I'm not trying to do too much with it. Early on I was trying to do too much with it because I felt stronger."
Inge could be the tiger comeback player of the year, good to hear he is stronger

Reading over the comments so far......Let's relax, the season is 162 games long.
1. Valverde is still the best close in the AL.
2. Miguel is playing better at 3rd than any of us would have hoped for.
3. Austin Jackson is exceeding expectations as a lead off hitter.
4. Dan Dickerson is still the most excited fan/radio voice in MLB.
I would feel better with one more starter, but lets see where we are at as the trade deadline approaches.

1 is debatable..we will see. This year he has not looked so hot. Last year he pitched unbelievable great when he had too. It was incredible he pitched himself into so many jams and yet did not blow a save. The odds against doing that has to be better than one in a thousand.

Valverde was dominant in save situations. Just about all of his bad games were in non-save situations. He did not pitch himself into very many jams last year in save situations. If I recall correctly, in 37 of his 47 save opportunities Valverde allowed one or fewer baserunners. I don't know how you can do much better than that.

now 3-0 in games where the Greatness of Inge makes an appearance.now 2-0Tigers are 1-0 in games which Inge starts.
I am a little surprised by that stat. I know in non-saved situations Valverde was worthless, but it also seemed like the majority of his saves, the tying run was in scoring position. Perhaps both could be true either by means of a sacrifice, stolen base, or extra base hit. I would bet only about 5 of his saves were 1-2-3 innings.
Is it too early to talk about the possibility of Inge being league MVP?now 3-0 in games where the Greatness of Inge makes an appearance.now 2-0Tigers are 1-0 in games which Inge starts.

I heard Rod Allen talking about how he does not understand why Valverde is so crappy in "non-save" situations. It is just an inning of pitching....just get three outs regardless of the situation.

Lot of pretty similar stats for Newhouser, Morris, and Lolich (and all three trail Hooks Dauss' 223 wins from 1912-26 and George Mullin's 228 wins from 1902-15).Newhouser (1939-55): 200-148 with Detroit. 3.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP. 1,796 career K's.1945 Tigers' WS championship. League MVP in 1944 and 1945, as noted.Morris (1977-1994): 198-150 with Detroit. 3.73 ERA, 1.27 WHIP. 2,478 career K's.1984 Tigers' WS championship (and also championships in 1991 and 1992 ...MVP in 1991).Lolich (1963-1979): 207-175 with Detroit. 3.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP. 2,832 career K's.MVP of 1968 Tigers' WS championship (overshadowed in '68 by McLain's 31 win season).Morris ended up with 254 total wins; Newhouser had 207; Lolich had 217.Verlander is now at 108-58. 3.51 ERA, 1.19 WHIP. 1,238 K's. If he stays on his game for at least five years, he'll have stats right with those three ...it'd be nice to also have a WS championship as they all did! If JV has 7-10 solid years, he could blow by them.

Last outing was somewhat better than before, with lots of strikeouts. Once Fister comes back I think with Verlander & Porcello they have a pretty decent top 4.
Smyly is looking like a solid #5 guys too. Last year #4 and #5 were almost guaranteed loses. I maybe premature though. Would not be the first time.

Porcello looks to have made some real strides as well as Austin Jackson, those two should be key this year.Smyly is looking like a solid #5 guys too. Last year #4 and #5 were almost guaranteed loses. I maybe premature though. Would not be the first time.

Pretty sure Max is the worst pitcher in the history of baseball when runners are on base.

He's such a tease ...leaving guys on base early to create a little drama for the later innings. No wonder we love him so.The only question which remains is how Inge is going to pull this one out.

RR can`t hit until after June.
Easily the most worthless spot on the roster.

Glad the Tigers sneaked out with three tight wins while the Royals are slumping. They're going to start hitting before long.
Pitching has been pretty darn good this year. Definitely ahead of the hitting at this point, which is surprising considering how hot the bats were against Boston.

Thank goodness Inge is back on track with an 0-4, 2 K night. All is right with the world again.

Texas is +39 runs so far this year & Tigers have 2 rookies starting this 4 game series. Might be doing well if the tigers get a series split out of it.

Brandon Inge has been working on a knuckleball..may be available for long relief if needed.

Darvish doesn't look all that overpowering, but it seems that Detroit just can't get a feel for him, and they look out of synch.

With that cheesy mustache and a jagoff father there are very few relief pitchers I'd rather see get shelled than Daniel Schlereth

Inge is now the best .071 hitter (1 for 14) in the major leagues.

Rick Porcello (1-1) didn't make it out of the second inning, charged with 10 hits and nine runs -- eight earned -- while recording just three outs. ouch
Games which Inge Played.... 4 - 0Games he didn't............ 5 - 5
