More to Fister's struggles?

Number one almost 50 per cent of pitching is mental. The Tigers should make the playoffs and if Fisher is still struggling he will be bullpen bound, because in the playoffs you need less starters.

The guy put together seven straight starts that ranged from good to excellent. Isn't this a bit of an overreaction to one bad game?

He's laid a few eggs this year too, not just this game. I think the fear is that his injury never completely healed itself, which is of great concern. After Verlander, Scherzer and him, there's the ever consistent Porcello and Sanchez who has blown donkey nuts so far against AL opponents. The Tigers really need Fister to be at the top of his game right now -- and if they can make it, in the playoffs.

i would say that he doesn't need too much to fix his inconssitent pitching outing, rather he would need to skip a start then give him his normal schedule as it was before, a little rest should fix his problems in the mound!!!

tigers starters had struggle but at least they are better than the halos rotation, plus the tigers have a little more spark in every game from their offense something where the angels did lack in the whole season long,,,

as we all know, in no place or sports can't win if their offense its a wrecked end, in the angels position can't be accepted any excuse any more, poor offense in 2011??the owner brought in slugger pujols, not enough durability in their rotation?? the GM brought in CJ WILSON, inconssitent at the lead off spot?? the GM brought up the sensacional mike trout, where its the borken spell? where its the misperfect connection in the halos roster???the pitching coach got old in his tactics as a pitching intructor, the hitting coach can'y overcome the puzzle left by the previus hitting coach, and the manager mike sciocia can't win a inconssistent amount of games with all this inconssistant matches between hitters and pitchers,,,,

but everybody has a strong side in their own organization, yankees have the resiliants from cashman and great eye in the type of trades that he brought in the yankees house,, experience its much more important at the end,,,

the tigers brought in a firstbaseman a hitter who has a 300avg plus a good offense when its need more,,,

victor martinez its around the corner and could be activated at any time soon...

the rangers have everything that its needed in their offense rotation and bullpen, good hitting coach a well balanced pitching coach and a cool manager who hasn't lose his concentration in his job as a manager,,,

the reds are a very silence team, but they could become a championship team before we all notice them,,they have good bullpen and a solid rotation things should be interested at the end of the season,,,,

the top team and organization that has everybody's attention???THE NATIONALS,, yes it appears that this team could become a treat for the rangers and either the giants or dodgers and whoever are the wild card berth team? the braves are a hot team this year, so far,,,

in the american league we have,,, the rangers yankees tigers and either the baltimore orioles and the tampa rays,,, at the end anything should happen,,,

the big collapse from a considered teams, the indians, the angels the phillies, the red sox,the d'backs, the toronto blue jays,,,,

top contenders become a top pretenders,,,,

big spenders hit the wall made it with stone and stealth where nobody can traspass the wall,, excuses?? apoligies? nothing its acceptable,,,

when a team or organization fails to achieve their goals and dreams should and most be consecuences regardless who its a top of the front seat,,,

the small teams,, who nobody would and could give a nickle for them,,, the A's,,, the rays,,,and now the giants?? should it be the giants??
