Well when your bullpen has a collective ERA of about 12.50 such things will happen.

You know, the no-hitter may have been busted up in the 7th inning, but at least the game ended up being a shut-out.

Score another victory for the good guys!

Here is a list of current Tigers relievers with a season (any season) of 40+ innings and an above average ERA:
- Joakim Soria
- Al Alburquerque

Mark Reynolds' 2009 season where he hit 44 dingers and struck out 223 times and committed about 35 errors made me love him forever.

He doesn't even hit dingers anymore. The Cards not only play him basically every day but regularly run him out there are third base. It's kind of astounding given how good they are. The Cardinals have really really really good pitching.

He's been playing every day, but at first not third for the most part. I've actually been surprised how competent he is at defending, although he's been struggling mightily at the plate lately.

Yeesh that is an ugly lineup the Cards are fielding for Game 1. If the Cubs can't beat the B team then pack it up.

Your other option on the roster that can play 3rd base: Pete Kozma

At least when Reynolds makes contact it goes a long way

He has a good arm and that's pretty much it.

He's the best at being jacked as gently caress and drilling line drives right at fielders.
