Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. The Tigers will try and help you celebrate with a rain-truncated sweep of the Indians. That responsibility will fall in large part on the arm of Max Scherzer.
Scherzer is probably just happy to not be facing the Twins. In his 4 starts not against the Twins he has allowed 11 runs. In two turns against Minnesota he has surrendered 16 runs. He’s never face the Indians.
Mitch Talbot goes for the Indians. He sports a 2.88 ERA and I have no idea how. In 34.1 innings he has 15 walks and only 12 strikeouts and he’s given up 5 homers. And aside from 1 start against the White Sox where he induced 19 ground balls, he isn’t keeping the ball on the ground either. Lefties are only OPS’ing him at a .593 pace due in large part to a .163 BABIP.

Amazing… the same line-up two days in a row…including BB & AA.
This is the line-up I like best.
It looks like maybe an early exit for Scherzer again today.
He’s all over the place
Boy, Scherzer needs to just throw some strikes.
Let’s put it this way, thankfully Scherzer isn’t pitching vs. the Yankees.
We will see how our pitchers perform against the big boys next week.
Don’t know what’s more surprising this year. Bad starters, great offensive production or the reliable bullpen.
or all of the above
Maybe now it’s time to send Scherzer down and bring Gallaraga up.
unfortunately Laird has done too good of a job tutoring Avila becasue not only does he catch well like laird but he hits like him also!
I shouldn’t have put HITS like him I should have put bats like him
Brilliant.
how about Jackson …can he play this game or what..I know he will have some downs but so far his ups have been pretty darn good!
A-Jax is looking like a sweet pick up. Certainly has the tools and looks fast. He has scored 25 runs already this year.
Billfer, Im kind of missing the edit button.
Inge has 15 RBI which I guess is good ,but hasn’t he come up to bat with about 200 guys on base this year?????
Two walks to start the inning…..lets see if they come back to bite us in the a$$……as they most usually do!
Three walks to start the inning…..we are f____d!
Raburn in …….for defensive purposes.
Laird in…….for offensive purposes!
how bout Laird hitting for Avila whats the point???
and Brandon that pitch wasn’t even in you usual check swing strike three zone !
the Bobs outdid themselves that inning three whiffs ! wow must be those pink bats
How about a double steal.
Same result as in the first game with Minnesota. The Tigers can hit, but make way to many errors including mis-judging the outfield walls. Our pitching today was the same battery that lost against Minnesota with same results. As a season ticket holder for years, I hope Leyland is able to figure this out. Also it won’t be to soon to get Guillen back.
to Leyland’s credit he even tried pinch hitting one or two of the BOBs for other BOBS, but to no avail. This years BOBS are far worse that last years and Everett didn’t even play
Now the REAL season begins…..having to play some REAL baseball teams!
