Porcello dealing today against the O's

[butter674]

Don't expect a repeat in his next start. He's in the fifth right now but usually the fifth/sixth is his trouble spot. If he gets out of this game allowing no runs I will fade him next start and consider and over play.


Mike Illitch will trade his hair piece for a closer.

He's actually pitched well his last several starts

[butter674]

He has which is why, in my opinion after watching him for the last couple of years, is that he's due for a,bit of a slip up. This is a lean with no other basis to back it up until game day.

[HOT WINGS]

6 of last 7 starts have been quality starts. He is in a zone right now. The sinker is sinking for him and staying out of the middle of the plate. Getting ahead of hitters consistently is helping him a lot

[butter674]

Leyland isn't helping him by leaving him in for the 7th. Porcello would not pitch more than 6 if tigers had a bullpen right now.

Not saying he hasn't pitched well but he is what he is, a 5th starter not a,front of the rotation guy. My opinion is a fade in his next start.

tigers are screwed

coke is about to come in ...

[butter674]

Calling Todd Jones....

Tigers should know their players and porcello clearly tires after 5/6 innings and he has since he came into the league as a high school phenom. Now he s on the hook for 2 guys with coke in. Tough luck start for,porcello. Just like all the other tiger starters

[butter674]

Phil coke is to pitching what Rosanne is to the National Anthem.

I just had to speak didn't I?

I just had to speak didn't I?

You were right, porcello pitched to the best of his abilities which happens to be 6 innings.

Glad to see Jason Grilli wasn't needed here and was brooded away for a diet coke a few yrs ago.

good way to jinx the game with this thread bud

[Smoke]

Butterknife you will learn not to speak so soon

Butterknife thanks for the jinx win

Butterknife I was on the o holes

[butter674]

Jinxes are for kids, qypsies and people who hold a losing ticket. Sorry if you played porcello and the tigers on the road.

Yea thats why no one talks to pitchers during a no-hitter right. Next time wait till the bubble bursts. And keep your poor inside 1st inning intel bets to yourself.
