Game 2009.062: Tigers at Pirates

13.06.2009 54 comments

PREGAME: So it’s just the Tigers now. No more Red Wings or Pistons or Lions. Just a singular focus on the Tigers. Tonight the Tigers will face Zach Duke. Duke walks very few hitters, so he finds himself pitching deep into games on a regular basis having gone at least 7 innings in 8 of [...]

Game 2009.061: Tigers at Pirates

12.06.2009 50 comments

PREGAME: I can’t help but wonder if there are more Tigers fans in the stands tonight that Pirates fans. I think Tigers fans would be well represented with many planning to make the relatively short drive to see their team in a gorgeous ballpark. But with Game 7 tonight, I’d guess many Pittsburgh fans would [...]

Ryan Perry rejoining the team?

UPDATE Again: Now it’s official. Bondo to the DL for continued rehabilitation. UPDATE: While there still hasn’t been an official announcement from the team, it does appear that Jeremy Bonderman is hitting the DL. I’ll update with more as I know it. The Free Press is reporting that Ryan Perry is not with Mud Hens [...]

Clete’s Out, the Cougars Cry

11.06.2009 19 comments

Following today’s game Clete Thomas was optioned to Toledo and Don Kelly was called up in his place. Beck quotes Leyland on Thomas and the decision: “Thomas has to work on shortening his swing,” manager Jim Leyland said. “This is not a punishment. This is a player that we love.” Kelly is versatile. He is [...]

Game 2009.060: Tigers at White Sox

11.06.2009 99 comments

PREGAME: The Tigers have already won the series, but they really have a chance to put an exclamation point on it today. With Edwin Jackson on the mound, Tigers fans expect a dominating pitching performance because we’ve been so spoiled this year. Gavin Floyd is on a roll of his own though. In his last [...]

Willis will start Sunday

10.06.2009 13 comments

The Tigers have made a decision, at least for the time being, to stick with Dontrelle Willis in the starting rotation. Jeremy Bonderman will head to the bullpen…for now. Keeping Willis in the rotation is probably the right decision if Bonderman is the other option. Of course I kind of agree with Lee that perhaps [...]

Game 2009.059: Tigers at White Sox

10.06.2009 105 comments

POSTGAME: The Tigers had lost 4 games in a row, people were freaking out and the Twins were only a couple games back. Then Edwin Jackson pitched a complete game 1 run effort striking out the heart of the Angels order to end the game with 98mph heat. That started a run of 5 wins in 6 games culminating with Justin Verlander pitching a complete game 2-1 effort and punching out Josh Fields (who came in for Paul Konerko when Verlander jammed him on a ground ball) with 98mph heat. I like symmetry.

The rest of the draft

10.06.2009 17 comments

NOTE: I added in all the day 2 picks and did some Googling for half of them so far. Feel free to use this post to make comments. I’ll drop it off the top spot in a day or two. After the first round, there are like lots more. The Tigers made 2 additional selections [...]

Game 2009.058: Tigers at White Sox

09.06.2009 184 comments

PREGAME: There’s a lot going on tonight. The MLB draft, the Red Wings trying to clinch the cup, and my refrigerator isn’t working. So this is a pretty short game post. Basically this as lopsided of a pitching match-up as you’ll see. Mark Buerhrle against Dontrelle Willis. Party on. Detroit vs. Chi White Sox – [...]
