Game 28: Tigers at Yankees

30.04.2008 114 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers look to get an early grip on the series in New York. Jeremy Bonderman will look to not walk everyone. He’s allowed 13 in his last 2 starts and 21 in 27.1 innings this season. Somehow he has a 4.28 ERA but it won’t stay that low if he can’t find the [...]

Jason Grilli traded!

30.04.2008 44 comments

The Tigers have dealt Jason Grilli to the Colorado Rockies for Zach Simons. This frees a spot for the activation of Francisco Cruceta who will join the team tomorrow. I’m surprised on a number of levels. That the Tigers would part with a pitcher given the woes of the starting rotation. The starters aren’t going [...]

Game 27: Tigers at Yankees

29.04.2008 118 comments

PREGAME: It will be two pitchers going tonight with a combined ERA of 15.51. That combined is added of course and not the average of Kenny Rogers’s and Phillip Hughes’s lines. Hughes has nearly as man walks as strike outs (10 versus 11) but that bests Kenny’s 15:9 ratio. The Tigers trot out their full [...]

Off Day Discussion: Thoughts on Comerica Park

28.04.2008 52 comments

It’s the first day off the Tigers have had in awhile. In the interest of sparking discussion that deviates a little bit from “The Tigers need to bench Gary Sheffield in favor of Brandon Inge” (which given the historical feelings about Inge I find to be a surprising sentiment) I thought we’d talk about the [...]

Game 26: Angels at Tigers

27.04.2008 95 comments

PREGAME: It’s the rubber game against the Angels after two pretty well contested battles. For the Tigers tonight is noteworthy because it will be the first time that the Tigers have their full projected lineup together. It will also be Carlos Guillen’s first start since his Mariners days at third base. On the mound it [...]

Indianapolis 6 Toledo 7 Jeff Larish doubled, tripled, and walked twice. Erick Almonte was 3 for 3 with a homer and two walks. Derek Wathan was a homer short of the cycle. Yorman Bazardo allowed 3 runs in 4 innings on 6 hits with 1 walk and no strike outs. Casey Fossum allowed 3 runs [...]

Game 25: Angels at Tigers

26.04.2008 60 comments

PREGAME: Armando Galarraga makes his 3rd start in Dontrelle Willis’s spot in the rotation. In the first two he has allowed 4 hits, 4 walks, and only 2 runs in 12 innings. For the Angels it will be Dustin Moseley. Moseley allowed 7 homers in 92 innings last year, but he’s already at 4 in [...]
