Jose Iglesias to the 7-day concussion DL (the other Iggy, of the Pop variety, turns 70 today).
Joe Jimenez is back from Toledo, and Justin Upton is back in the lineup.
Today’s Lineup:
- Ian Kinsler, 2B
- Nick Castellanos, 3B
- Miguel Cabrera, 1B
- Victor Martinez, DH
- Justin Upton, LF
- Mike Mahtook, RF
- James McCann, C
- Andrew Romine, LF
- Jacoby Jones, CF
- Andrew Romine, SS
Pitching: Justin Verlander vs Hector Santiago
Victor an actual 2 our RBI.. Wow…
Good to see Upton back… Another early Robbie!
Watching ..
McCann.. Jones.. Romaine bat continues to be painful.. All three need McCanns wife to pitch extra soft toss to them.
Kinsler can join them.. He’s hacking!
I wonder what’s worse having 5 guys in your line up hitting under.206…..or the 4th highest guy in your line up is hitting. 211..
.
we are really lucky the starting pitching has been pretty darn good!!..
Wow, McCann hits one!
See I told you his wife could fix McCanns swing!!!… Now there 4 or 5 other guys she needs to help!
JV can’t find plate, Brad watches.
Let me say, I’d go with Jimenez with no outs.
Great spot for the new guy, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out and Dozier at the plate. Good luck young man.
It was Polanco, bloop single.
What can we say?
Let’s see we lead the MBL in walked batters… JV walks 6…We are good at at least one thing
Can’t hardly wait for Brad and JV to tell us how good JV’s stuff was again tonight!
TAM, MIN & CWS are three of the lower-tier AL teams: DET’s record against them thus far: 3-6 …just sayin
financial perspective: Cabrera, JV + Upton = $78M in ’17; TAM entire team = $70M, MIN entire team = $108M
Cab + JV + Upton + VMart + Zim + Sanchez = $131M those 5 player ’17 salaries eclipse 15 MLB teams’ entire payroll… teams that include, HOU, CLE, COL & PIT… as the saying goes, “money can’t buy you love (or a winning team)”
