    "Buck Farmer makes his major league debut trying to help the Tigers avoid a fifth straight loss Wednesday night as this four-game, two-city series with the Pirates shifts to Comerica Park. Farmer is now set to follow with his major league debut -- two weeks to the day after he was promoted to Double-A Erie."He's pitched very well," Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "He's got good stuff. Ideally, you'd have more development time. I haven't seen him myself really, maybe one start. Our guys like him."A fifth-round pick in 2013, the right-hander had a 3.00 ERA in two outings with the SeaWolves after posting a 2.60 ERA in 18 starts for Single-A West Michigan. He's struck out 127 in 115 2/3 innings in 2014, but MLB.com had his estimated time of arrival in the majors at 2016 in its midseason prospect watch."

    Big difference between MLB and two starts above A-ball. This guy is going to be schooled tonight. Pirates roll on this guy. Pirates are 1 1/2 games from first place and they arent letting up with a sub par pitcher tonight.
    Easy call, easy money. GL. Pirates over 4.

    Worley has pitched very good in his last starts but his numbers vs the Tigers at Comerica Park are not good, keep that in mind. Tigers are in a little funk by losing six of their last seven games and and their offense was not impressive in those games. Saying that I think the Pirates offense has the edge considering the matchup vs a far more inexperienced starting pitcher in Farmer. I hope the Tigers don't get out their funk tonight when they start this series vs the Pirates at home.
    I am backing the Pirates. GL

    Guy has moved up in the minors pretty damn quick, sounds like a no play tonight. Plenty of other games on the board with more available information

    Just curious, is this the first time watching a MLB game? All hits/runs don't happen in first/second/third innings. Sometimes its spread out and sometimes in one inning or late. Its coming soon. The Pirates are wearing him down. Just a matter of time before he cracks.

    Of course it is not but for once i would like to have a good start and not have to sweat it out toward the end.

    5 Runs already! I've got Pirates over 4. GL hoping for more obviously. This kid is garbage and Detroit is desperate so they called him up early hoping he would spark them up. Sorry but Pirates are playing tonight and more runs are coming. Grab a seat and relax.

    Guess how often the team that scores first (1 or 2 runs) wins the game...

    Yea i am glad they got to him last inning was hoping Detroit would have at least got 1 there though . Hopefully they keep pounding him now though . I need 9 for a push so 4 more at least for that.

    Halfway point and 5 runs better then what it was looking at first . Be nice if Detroit will contribute a few runs too.

    Alright i can relax a bit now . Worst that can happen is a Push but i want the win. Would like to see Pirates score another in there so Solman gets the win too.
