Ausmus said RHP Michael Fulmer will start Monday if the Tigers play a makeup game against Cleveland.

Justin Upton chose an odd time to watch three strikes in one at-bat.

Beltran-esque, circa 2006

Ha, right -- which sent St. Louis to Detroit and started what is now ELEVEN years of unfinished business.
Figured this team was good for 86-88 wins and a shot at the wild card. Given all the injuries, I'd say they overachieved.
Sorta too bad they won't play game 162 against Cleveland. Fulmer was due to start. Had he thrown 3.1 scoreless innings, he would have qualified and squeaked by Sanchez for the ERA title at 2.99.
Looks Verlander led the AL in Ks and WHIP. Wasn't expecting that.

Ausmus and the Tigers seem really thrilled with one another.
Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila said he saw no reason to give manager Brad Ausmus a multiyear contract.
Before Friday night’s game in Atlanta, Ausmus was asked about Braves interim manager Brian Snitker. He joked: “I’ve been an interim manager for three years.”

@BradGalliAl Avila: "To hire a rookie guy, how we did it back then, you look back and say, 'Maybe we could have done it differently.' I'd admit that."
Cool!

@beckjasonFulmer, offseason plumber, said he might place trophy in office at his house. "I don't really do any desk work in my home," he said.
