Yeah I think he will get a chance at the big leagues again this year too.
Minor league games are a lot of fun. I went to quite a few Great Lakes Loons (low A Dodgers affiliate) games when I was in college at Central Michigan. The Park was only about a 15 minute drive from my apartment. I got a chance to see last season's NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw pitch very early in his career. I have never gotten a chance to see a Mudhens game but maybe I will make the short trip to see one of Below's starts this summer.
Wow, I didn't see that ...
Looks like Luis Marte who had made the team is injured and that leaves a spot for Below.
I suspect if he pitches well, he will stick and someone else will go down if Marte comes back up.

Tigers open by hosting the Red Sox at Comerica Park this afternoon. I get to Telework today so I'll have the game on in the background...along with the Masters, of course!
Justin Verlander just through the first pitch, officially marking the start of the baseball in Detroit.
Good luck everyone! Here's to another exciting year of baseball in the AL Central.

Pitching duel going on in Detroit. Verlander is looking sharp early, but we've left some men on base. Anyone at the game right now? Claude...I just know you're sitting there trying to stay warm.
What's going on with Peralta...he has bounced 2 or 3 balls to first base already. Things are going to be interesting with Cabrera at 3rd base...made an error and fell on his keister while fielding a pop-up in foul territory.
It's nice to get the win in extra innings, but you hate to see Valverde blow Verlander's Jim Dandy 2-hit shutout through 8-innings.
Yep. I was at the game. Despite the cold weather I still got a little bit of a sun burn on my face. It was well worth it to be part of the opening day party! They also got a really impressive new scoreboard video screen. I will also be at Sunday's game with much better seats.
Edit: that picture doesn't do it justice. It just a humongous big screen TV.
It was the Tiger's first walk-out Opening Day win since Hall-of Famer Harry Heilman did it in 1921. Stiil, I would have liked to have seen Verlander get the Win. I just hope we don't see Valderde start a trend with his 1st blown save since 2010. He certainly kept us "on the edge of our seats" last year.
Yup, keep track of JV's games that he pitches well enough to win and doesn't get it this year... see what his record could be ...
It's not too often that he doesn't pitch well enough to win, but if he stinks up the joint and the team bails him out, then well add to that column at the end of the year as well.
As of yesterday, Saturday close to it, sounds like more tickets available for Sunday's game on Easter Sunday
