JonStephen Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 it has to do with players realizing their talent and playing to the best of their abilities.....something a good manager can always get out of his players. plus, their pitching has been stellar this year (credit that to Pudge also for calling a great game)they dont necessarily blow teams out, they just win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfitz73 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 - The pitching is finally coming around (although that ballpark helps)- Jim Leyland- Magglio Ordonez is actually on the field this year and not on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonStephen Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 well he won the 1997 WS with the Marlins actually, you could compare the tigers to the '03 Marlins. veeerrrryyy similar teams. not saying the tigers will win like the marlins did (who'd they massacre again? oh yeah), but I am saying that both teams were young, talented, and found ways to win with good coaching, good pitching, and good play on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
