The Blue Jays beat Buck Farmer, lead by three home runs and NINE RBIs from Edwin Encarnacion, and the entire Tigers team into an absolute conniption! This was the worst beating I’ve seen in a long time.
Even Alex Wilson struggled and it looks like The Mighty Miggy is slumping!
This is very ugly!!

Sorry Matt Boyd but Josh Donaldson hit this pitch into a conniption.
The Tigers fell to eight games under .500. They couldn’t do much against R.A. Dickey.
Matt Boyd looked okay. He was inconsistent. Some innings good. Some not so good. All in all not bad but for a young guy.
VerHangen and Feliz were not bad out of the pen.
The Jays are just rolling and are now my pick to come out of the A.L.
I hope Miggy is not going into a slump. He hasn’t looked great the last two games. I know that’s a tough thing to say but he’s pretty much what I look forward to when I tune.
Randy Wolf pitched a gem. Unfortunately, Matt Shoemaker did him one better. For some reason the Tigers just can’t hit Shoemaker, even the Mighty Miggy.
No conniption shots today.
The Tigers dropped another game and another series. There wasn’t much to get excited about other than Wolf’s pitching and two nice throw outs by Alex Avila. A Squared Money displayed a Bazooka and Kinsler helped him out on the back end with a nice pick and tag on the first one.

JV’s third no-hitter would have been a nice saving grace to an otherwise dismal season. It was no to be. However, I think it is safe to say Verlander is back to being a legitimate ace. He was smokin balls, all night. He had legitimate no-hit stuff. He made one mistake to a .188 hitter and didn’t get any luck. That’s the way this season has gone for him. The Tigers did get him some runs so got his second win of the season.
Yes my friends, Miggy is that damn good and for the last two seasons, J.D. is just a notch, maybe two below; he’s pretty damn good too.
Miggy, J.D. and Castellanos each hit conniption shots. Do you remember yesterday when I asked why would the Angels pitch to Cabrera in the eighth? Why would they pitch to him with first base open today? They must don’t know. They got burned today.
I’d like to see Miggy win the batting title at .350 +. I’d like to see J.D. drive in 100+ runs. I’d like Castellanos to get to 20 home runs and JV finish with an ERA at 3.20 or less. These are the things that keep me watching.
Jose Miguel Cabrera is that damn good. Let’s hope he stays healthy.
Nebraska, I wish I could have joined you Pal. I miss you! You didn’t by any chance cough up $12 for 3 chicken fingers did you? 🙂
