Toledo: Postponed Bowie 4, Erie 2 Erie only mustered 3 hits so there isn’t much to say about the offense. Virgil Vazquez was knocked out after 3 innings after giving up all 4 runs. Eulogio De La Cruz pitched 3 innings without a runner reaching base. Lakeland 6, Clearwater 5 (14 innings) Clete Thomas doubled [...]

30.04.2006 3 comments

It’s good to be a Tiger fan. That’s not a sentence that has been said very often over the last decade, but at the end of a 16-9 start to the season, everything is positive. While there will be probably be a ton of factoids in tomorrow’s paper, here’s what I was able to dig [...]

Game 25: Twins at Tigers

30.04.2006 4 comments

PREGAME: After outscoring the Twins 27-1 in the first two games of the series, the Tigers look to complete the sweep. Kenny Rogers will face Kyle Lohse in the final game of the series. Loshe, like the other Twins starters, has struggled in the early going. Because the Twins bullpen has thrown 249 pitches over [...]

Louisville 6, Toledo 5 David Espinsoa has worked his way into the leadoff spot. Coming into tonight his OBP was 414. That actually fell a little as he doubled and walked in 5 plate appearances.

PREGAME: The Tigers go for two in a row against the Minnesota Twins at 1:05pm. Justin Verlander will try for his first Comerica Park win. He faced the Twins last year and lost at home, and of course was beat around by the White Sox earlier this year. He’ll be opposed by groundball pitcher Carlos [...]

Tigers Minor League Wrap – April 28th

28.04.2006

Toledo 5, Louisville Ryan Raburn, who has been playing more outfield, was the big stick in this game. He homered, hit a sac fly, added a single, and drew two walks. The pitching staff saw the return of Matt Mantei who appeared destined for retirement after a spring training injury. He retired all 4 batters [...]

Game 23: Twins at Tigers

28.04.2006 3 comments

PREGAME: The Twins come to town and have been struggling. Nate Robertson will be taking on Brad Radke. Radke is sporting an uncharacteristic 7.50 ERA. As has been the case several times this year, I hope that a struggling pitcher doesn’t find his groove against the Tigers (see Paul Byrd). Carlos Guillen, Pudge Rodriguez, Magglio [...]

Toledo 3, Indianapolis 0 Zach Miner, last week’s International League Pitcher of the Week, is trying to win the award back-to-back. He shutout the Indians for 8 innings and only 2 hits.

Series Wrap – Tigers at Angels

The Tigers only managed to take one of three from the Angels. Actually, they only managed to score in one of three games as the Angels handed Detroit their first two shutouts of the season. Once again Detroit got very solid pitching, but the bats that were showing signs of slumpiness in Seattle went completely [...]

Breaking down Bonderman

26.04.2006 12 comments

A Tiger season wouldn’t be a Tiger season without doubt about Jeremy Bonderman. In 2003 when he struggled out of the gate, there was much speculation that he was brought to the majors to quickly (which he may have been). He then shutdown Oakland. In 2004 after a particularly rough spell, there was talk of [...]
