Is Bonderman ready?

31.05.2009 4 comments

Jeremy Bonderman has shown some positive signs in his each of his rehab starts, but tonight’s was probably his best effort. He lasted 8 innings and threw 98 pitches, 66 of which were strikes. He didn’t allow a run and scatttered 6 hits and no walks while fanning 5. I haven’t heard reports on his [...]

Game 2009.049: Tigers at Orioles

31.05.2009 38 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers are running out kind of a different lineup today. One without Miguel Cabrera or Placido Polanco. They didn’t really do much last night, but still… Edwin Jackson will try and get the Tigers a series split. Detroit hasn’t played particularly well in this series, and Jackson throwing a bunch of 0’s on [...]

Charlotte 4 Toledo 2 Wil Rhymes and Don Kelly both went 3 for 4. Dusty Ryan homered, his 6th of the year. I think it’s time Ryan comes up and plays 2 days a week in lieu of Dane Sardhina. Brooks Brown went 8 innings using 97 pitches. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, [...]

PREGAME: Enough Luke freakin’ Scott already. This series is not going well and I’ve reached my Luke Scott limit. The offense has been comatose for the last two days. The pitching has been meh. I blame it all on Luke freakin’ Scott. If anybody can slow him down it has to be Justin Verlander right? [...]

PREGAME: The Tigers will hand the ball to Dontrelle Willis tonight. Willis has been solid in his last 2 starts and will look to keep it going. He’s still walking a few too many (8 in 17.1 innings with only 9 K’s), but it is a vast improvement from where he was. Dontrelle’s career has [...]

PREGAME: When Detroit travels to Baltimore things seem to get interesting. There was the game where Dmitri Young had 2 homers and 2 triples. Or the time that Craig Monroe hit a grand slam in extra innings. Last year there was the game the Tigers put up a 6 spot in the first only to [...]

POSTGAME: This was one of those “taking care of business” games where the Tigers came out and excelled on several fronts to take the series. Offense, defense, pitching, it was all working. Fortunately I’ve been able to say that quite a bit lately.

Earlier today Big Al of The Wayne Fontes Experience shared that he’ll be undergoing back surgery tomorrow. His description paints a picture that ain’t so pretty: In other words, my doctor [...]

got some hits, but oh those GIDPs. The Tigers hit into 3 of them, one of them even on a hit and run. The double plays negated the benefit of getting the leadoff men on and they also prevented the Tigers from running up Greinke’s pitch count. And then Greinke just got better as the game went on and tallied 8 K’s with no walks allowed.
