Pitchers: Montero K. \[DET\] (0-0), Quintana J. \[MIL\] (1-0)

 

Montero is a big fat zero,  

BUT  

Quintana is our bonanza!

 

  

 

Tigers will be pussy cats!

 

Brewers will swing the heavy bats!

 

Tigers fans will be saying, "Drats!"

 

That's the pregame facts!

Their manager said the Tigers wanted to give all their starters an extra day of rest

Honestly surprised they didn't have a lefty they wanted to bring up to face us with our struggles vs lefties.

I hear the plan is that they are just going to have Montero wear a Randy Johnson mask.

Cole Ragans mask probably would work just as well.

baseball reference lists Montero at 6'1" and 145lbs.  Unless that is a typo, that is insanely light for that height. A light breeze would blow him over.

He split last year between AAA (13 starts) and DET (16 starts/19 games) and was at AAA this year prior to this game.

Here he is a week ago. I'm not buying 145.

Must be like when they renew your driver's license and they just use the previous numbers... for 10 years. 

[Jim French Stepstool]

Not the greatest of track records when facing a relative unknown.

But if he's really only 145, I think a strong dose of off-tackle runs should wear him down.

[treego14]

Nifty DP!

Yippy!

[yourout]

Q not real sharp early.

[Brian]

I hope his arm isn't giving him problems.

[liveforoctober]

26 in the first. We might be seeing Henderson today after all?

[liveforoctober]

Turang is listed at 190lb and he looks about 2/3 the size of Montero ha

[Underachiever]

Mitchell almost did a Hingle McCringleberry after that triple

[liveforoctober]

Almost wanted Joey to swing at that 3-2 pitch for fear of an inevitable Dunn ground ball here.

[RobertCrawley]

Got it Dunn.

[Underachiever]

The torpedo bat works for a squeeze play

Good way to warm it up.

Jackson likes to swing at that first pitch.

Maybe he thought they were asking for kgs instead of lbs?

[RobertCrawley]

He needed that.

So do we.
