Darvish Too Much For Tigers
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Texas Rangers picked up where they left off last October with an absolute drubbing of the Tigers 10-3 tonight at Comerica Park. The Rangers had 19 hits and 6 walks with every Ranger batter getting at least one hit. Japanese import Yu Darvish stifled the Tigers bats for 6 1/3 innings allowing just two hits and one earned run. It was his longest outing of the season, and his best. Darvish th...

Pitching, Defense and… Not Much Else
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Nobody but nobody gets excited about the standings over the first two weeks of the regular season. Anything before Memorial Day doesn’t seem to have meaning though all 162 games are supposed to count evenly. April is the honeymoon month of the long Major League season as fans are simply happy to get back to the ballpark and enjoy the sights and sounds of meaningful baseball. Weather gets warm...

Philadelphia Phillies: The Phloundering Offense
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
As the Pittsburgh Penguins kept ripping the back of the net in a 10-3 thrashing of the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night, a question was proposed amongst my colleagues. Can the Philadelphia Phillies score 10 or more runs in a baseball game this season? My initial response was of course, once Ryan Howard and Chase Utley come back. And then the question became, what if they don't return th...

Angels have to holding in pen-t up anger as they continue to struggle
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
It been 12 games, but the Angels problems are out there to be seen by all. Albert Pujols is pressing. I am sure he is hearing from everyone that he has not his a home run. He's still getting on base, and the long balls will come. If there is one guy not to work out, it's #5 at 1st. The Angels bullpen is atrocious. Say what you will about me ragging on Kevin Jepsen, but the man should not be wo...

Possible ALCS preview in early season matchup in Motown!
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Sean McCabe.
The two hottest teams in the American League start a 4 game weekend series in Motown this weekend. Josh Hamilton and the two time defending AL champs Texas Rangers (10-2) get their first look of the season at Prince Fielder and his Detroit Tigers (9-3). The Motor City Kitties are off to their best start since they started 11-1 in 1984, and we all know what happened in 1984, when they led the l...

Tempers flare but die down quickly
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Brett Decker.
In the bottom of the 7th inning, shortly after taking the lead, Max Scherzer hit royals catcher Humberto Quintero on the left elbow with a 90 mph fastball. Qunitero appeared to not be a fan of being used for target practice and showed it by throwing his bat down in frustration. As the bat was thrown down rather hard it bounced and seemingly struck Tigers catcher Gerald Laird (although it didn't...

My Apologies, Mr. Werth!
Posted on 18 Apr 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
For the past year, I have been very vocal in my displeasure with Washington Nationals’ right fielder, Jayson Werth. I have referred to him as “Werth-less,” “lousy,” and “just plain awful.” Well, I’m happy to say that Mr. Werth is finally hitting, and in doing so has given himself a batting average of .362 (tenth in the Majors) with a .444 on-base percentage (OBP). So what h...

Tigers Smylyn Tonight
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Brett Decker.
Drew Smyly showed quite a few good things for the Tigers tonight. He showed how great his stuff is and how well he can control it as well as his toughness, both physically and mentally (after taking a line drive in the back and a 14 pitch at bat against Brayan Pena). He clearly showed why he beat out Duane Below for the last spot in the starting rotation out of spring training. If this is the q...

Marlins Report: Two Weeks Later
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Joseph Inza.
The Miami Marlins have anticipated the start of this season and the opening their very own ballpark for nearly a decade. Heading into the off season, the usually stingy management decided to open their wallets and invest in a new coach and some new talent to make the 2012 season more exciting. Opening day came and went, and the Marlins found themselves near the bottom of the NL East with a mana...

Oh Captain
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
Never mind teaching an old dog new tricks. Derek Jeter is up to his old ones. The soon to be 38-year-old Yankees shortstop is leading the Bombers regulars in hits (17), batting average (.378) and slugging percentage (.667). He's tied for the most doubles (four) and homers (three). So the news of his demise might have been greatly exaggerated. Last season he hit 24 doubles and six home runs all ...

Joe Mauer and the best Catchers in baseball
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
ALSO CHECK OUT 1B Rankings 2B Rankings SS Rankings 3B Rankings Over the last few years we've seen a changing of the guard at the catching position. But this season, it's about two guys trying to bounce back from injury-plagued 2011s. Joe Mauer underwent offseason knee surgery in December of 2010 and was soon placed on the disabled list when 2011 began with a condition entitled “bilateral ...

Verlander tosses CG to get first win
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Brett Decker.
Justin Verlander had an interesting outing tonight against the Royals and Danny Duffy. Justin started out losing his no-hitter on the first batter (which is not very common for Justin) Alex Gordon who laced a double down the line. Then Chris Getz did what all real #2 hitters should do (pay attention Leyland) and sac bunted Gordon to third. Then Verlander pitched around the Royals young stud 1...
