Game 2010.155: Tigers at Indians

What a tremendous finish to the home schedule.  Tigers end up with their best Comerica record ever, 23 games over .500.

Freep had a particularly candid article about the future a few free agents.  I’m pretty sure the writing is on Laird’s locker, not the wall.

stephen – did you “acknowledge” Inge?

Galarraga has been beat up pretty bad his last two starts, which have shot his ERA up from 3.89 to 4.44.  Two shut-outs to end the season and he’d break 4.00.

Game 2010.154: Twins at Tigers

What a game last night.  JV has been something else these past few outings.  It took two errors in the ninth for the Twins to plate a run, and he finished with his second complete game in as many tries.  Apparently, he’s developed a new curve over the past few starts.

Pavano is 17-11 this season, with a 1.16 WHIP.  Incredible.   A large part of this has been his ability to get ground outs, as his 1.49 GO/AO ratio is the best it’s been in 10 years.

Bonderman needs two good outings to keep his ERA under 5.

Game 2010.148: Tigers at White Sox

JV looks to continue his recent White Sox domination – over his last 4 games he’s 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA.  That’s 23 hits, 5 ER and 25 K in 32.2 IP (courtesy of Dan Dickerson).  I’d love to see Verlander ensure another series win over the bad guys.

Lucas Harrell on the rubber for the White Sox.  He gave up 4 on 6 hits against us 2 weeks ago in 4 innings, but none of them were earned.
