Even in an early blowout, Leyland fcuks up use of the bullpen

How many games on this roadtrip do you think it will take the Tigers to score another 8 runs?

Ha...I'll be shocked if they get 8 baserunners tonight. Darvish has command issues, but I expect the Tigers to swing early and often.

Making Texas use their bullpen for eight innings last night could be a factor in this series. I don't expect much from the offense tonight though but we'll see.

Hope you're right, but I just think the only thing making him mediocre this year is his walk rate, which I doubt the Tigers will take advantage of.

It was nice to see the Tigers go to the bullpen early, and make them work in some long innings. They didn't have many quick inning other than that one 1-2-3 inning. I don't care how used to the heat you are, your body still gets worn down in that heat.

I really hope that they can come back with the same sort of mentality that they had last night, and get to the bullpen again early. Don't see it happening, but would like to see them get to them early again.

It sure was nice seeing them look like a real ball club again last night. How long will it be until we see it again?
