Game 53: Yankees at Tigers

31.05.2006 10 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers have one last chance at their first 20 win month since August 1979. They are also scrambling to set up a split of this series, and avoid only their second 4 game skid of the season. And it won’t be easy. The Tigers will send out Nate Robertson to try and shut [...]

Zach Miner up, Hannahan down

31.05.2006 5 comments

So I was a little right about the Tigers looking to the minors for arm help. I just didn’t quite nail the execution of it. Zach Miner’s contract was purchased from Toledo and Jack Hannahan was optioned to the Mud Hens. Miner has pitched very well for the Hens with a 2.82 ERA in 9 [...]

Tigers Minor League Wrap – May 30th

Rochester 5, Toledo 0 – 11 innings Toledo managed only 4 hits, and Tike Redman had 3 of them. Redman added 2 stolen bases. Wil Ledezma allowed only 3 hits in 7 1/3 innings or work. He walked 3 and struck out 6. Bowie 2, Erie 0 If you thought the Mud Hens had a [...]

Looking for help

30.05.2006 4 comments

After being spectators for the first 50 games of the season, the Tigers long relief has been busy. Mike Maroth lasted only 1/3 of an inning on Thursday. After a reprieve with strong outings from Nate Robertson and Justin Verlander, they were again pressed into action on Sunday. Tonight, with Mike Maroth unavailable Roman Colon [...]

Game 52: Yankees at Tigers

30.05.2006 14 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers go in search of some suddenly elusive runs. As I’m sure you’ve heard they’ve been shut out by a pair of Johnson’s the last two games. Hopefully they’ll fare better against a Small, and perhaps a Wang on Thursday (there’s a joke in there somewhere). Aaron Small will take the ball for [...]

Justin Verlander named Player of the Week

30.05.2006

Justin Verlander was named American League Player of the Week. He shares last weeks honor with Carl Crawford. Verlander allowed on run in 16 innings of work against the Royals and Indians. He’s the second Tiger to win the award this season. Chris Shelton won it the first week of the season when everything he [...]

Tigers Minor League Wrap – May 29th

30.05.2006 1 comment

Toledo 3, Rochester 1 Ryan Ludwick singled and walked twice while Don Kelly, Alexis Gomez, and Tike Redman added doubles. Jorda Tata seems to have settled in as a Mud Hen with another strong start. This time it was 4 hits over 7 innings with 2 walks and 3 strike outs. Incidentally the Hens were [...]

Game 51: Yankees at Tigers

29.05.2006 9 comments

PREGAME: A Memorial Day afternoon tilt against the Yankees in front of a sell out crowd? Good times indeed. The pitching match-up is a dandy as well with Jeremy Bonderman taking on Randy Johnson. The last time these two hooked up, it was a 10-2 thrashing by Detroit. It was also the only game the [...]

Tigers Minor League Wrap – May 28th

28.05.2006

Toledo 3, Rochester 1 Colby Lewis 4 hit Rochester for 8 innings allowing one run on a homer. He walked none and fanned 4. Don Kelly tripled and walked. Altoona 3, Erie 1 Erie only managed two hits so there isn’t much to talk about on that end. Humberto Sanchez went 6 innings and allowed [...]

Game 50: Indians at Tigers

28.05.2006 6 comments

PREGAME: It’s hard to believe that we’re at the 50th game of the season already. After the 4 game set with the Yankees we’ll offically be at the one-third mark of the season. It is an interesting match-up today with Kenny Rogers taking on the man he replace in the rotation – Jason Johnson. Johnson [...]

Game 49: Indians at Tigers

27.05.2006 25 comments

PREGAME: Justin Verlander will try to extend the Tigers win streak to 8. Now here’s the thing. The last time I went to a Tiger game where they were looking for their 8th straight they got beat handily by the Reds (amazingly that was only 8 days ago). And the last time I saw Verlander [...]
