Zumaya and Willis rehab progress

17.04.2009 6 comments

Joel Zumaya is taking his rehab up I-75 to Toledo and Dontrelle Willis will join up with Lakeland next week. Zumaya hasn’t been particularly effective or accurate in his 2 appearances in Lakeland, and I’m a little surprised he’s moving up so soon. I thought they would have at least wanted him to throw on [...]

Game 2009.010: Tigers at Mariners

17.04.2009 119 comments

PREGAME: When one looked at the Tigers early schedule, it was full of teams that finished in the bottom half of their divisions in 2008. The Blue Jays, the Rangers, and the Mariners. So far some of those teams have been pretty good, including the Mariners that are 7-3 and the run-preventingest team in the [...]

Off day open thread – statistical nuggets

16.04.2009 56 comments

With no game on the schedule today, I figured we could open things up a little bit. Discuss whatever you’d like in this space. But…to seed the conversation a little bit here are some early season statistics to ponder: Justin Verlander has only stranded 42.3% of runners Fernando Rodney and Bobby Seay have combined to [...]

Game 2009.009: White Sox at Tigers Redux

15.04.2009 88 comments

PREGAME: The weather didn’t cooperate yesterday, but things look much better for today with things drying off around game time and even a little sunshine. The rainout did have one effect and that was to provide the Tigers with a match-up that at least looks more favorable on paper. Instead of going up against the [...]

Rotation shuffle

14.04.2009 6 comments

With today’s rain out, the Tigers have changed their rotation, or have they demoted Zach Miner to the bullpen? The two different stories have a different feel to be sure. First though, the upcoming pitchers are: Galarraga, Verlander, Jackson, Porcello. That’s what we know for sure. The Tigers are effectively skipping Rick Porcello this turn [...]

Game 2009.009: White Sox at Tigers

14.04.2009 12 comments

PREGAME:  This is more of a theoretical game post, because the chances of this game being played are pretty slim. But…if they do play it will be Rick Porcello making his home debut against John Danks. Porcello was hurt by a couple homers in his first start against the Blue Jays. He surrendered 7 other [...]
