Tiger fans had to deal with this for about the past 8 years. The one weakness of Dombrowski was building a bullpen.

Why would Clay have not gone to Detroit before the rest of the team?

JD would have easily made it to 3B if it was not called an out.

Martinez ran back to 1B because the umpire said it was out.

The 1B umpire called it out when it wasn't out. Just review it and get it over with.

The Tigers would have moved the game when the Lions schedule came out unless of course the Lions ended up paying at a different time because of the game.

Then the team loses the DH and the pitcher would bat.

Yup. Tigers and Lions never play games at the same time because it would be a logistical nightmare.

They have the right to voice their displeasure but the home team has the right to select the start times. This happens to the Tigers too. Cleveland is notorious for doing these things. Tigers have been doing this for years and the first ones to complain the loudest are the Red Sox and the man who started it.

You mean Dave Dombrowski who started it? Thursday day games are popular in Detroit and thousands of fans bought tickets and made arrangements for this game. There is also a Lions game at 7:30. The baseball universe doesn't revolve around the Red Sox. This wasn't some move to punish Dombrowski or the Red Sox. Whether it was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th game of the series, it would have been played during the day and Dombrowski knows this. Did Dombrowski ask Baltimore to move their game to the day time?

I am sorry discussing the team the Red Sox are playing emasculates you.

There was an altercation but Cabrera was the one with physical marks. He was accused of breaking his wife's phone. Cabrera was arrested and Dombrowski bailed him out. Castellanos, Iglesias, and Maybin have been good position players but are injured. The rotation has also been better. Verlander has been back to his old self, Fulmer is one of the better pitchers in the AL, and Boyd has pitched well of late. Norris is also been ok and is a top prospect.

JD Martinez has only been worth 4 and 5 WAR the past two seasons and currently has a 935 OPS but blows goats. By the way, Cabrera is not a wife beater. His wife beat him.

Its been that way for a few years and yet Dombrowski who started this and denied other teams request to move the game asked to have the game moved. I guess he thought his old team owed him a favor? Did he ask Baltimore to move their game? Who has a night game on get away day?

This is the time to play the Tigers. Castellanos, Iglesias, and Maybin are out with injuries. Cabrera is injured but will likely play. Upton has been useless. The only real threats are Kinsler, the Martinii, and possibly Cabrera.
