Smokey says I’m sitting some of the slumping guys in the lineup on Sunday so he plays Raburn .206 for Dirks .286.. and Sizemore .206 for Santiago .293…why does that make perfect “Leyland ” sense…….fire him today please!
Mr X
I got no problem with the line-up. When a good lefty pitcher is starting against us, I’d expect to see Leyland use a heavy right handed line-up. From 2008 to 2010, Paul Maholm has dominated lefty hitters. He has a .552 opposing OPS vs Lefty hitters and .815 vs Righties.

How about the “Mendoza brothers” Inge Raburn Sizemore all in the lineup today. Luckily the UM regional softball game is on so you can flip back and forth to players who can actually hit!!!
Mr X
I heart Peralta. Looks like he’s having a breakout year.

attaboy.!!…Jhonny

We won the Raburn Roulette

Chris Resop is pitching under an assumed name, that last name is clearly made up. It spells “Poser” backwards.

Mr. Inge, you are under arrest.

Inge reinforces the Mendosa Bros Stat line
Mr X
Porcello had a OK no-hit bid there.
Mr X
Tailor made double play. Nice job Porcello.
judpma
Does Porcello know the “Blowpen” will not help him today???? its 8 innings or nothing
judpma
thats the last thing I thought would happen….wow out of a jam
Coleman
Rick Porcello at the plate > Sizemore, Raburn, Inge
judpma
that officially confirms the fact that Porcellois a better hitter than any of the Mendoza Bros..Inge,,Raburn,,Sizemore and Jackson
Mr X
Man, that home plate umpire sucks. It seems like every bad call goes against the Tigers.
Mr X
Raburn !!! Oh no, just a little bit foul.
judpma
lets see….. a lead off single with 3 of the Mendoza Bros coming up in arow,,,,that had zero possibilities of success…….
Mr X
Raburn almost went deep. He had the distance, but it hooked foul. It probably missed the foul pole by <10 feet.
Coleman
Yes, that was his prettiest strikeout of the day so far.
judpma
The starting pitching does it again…I wonder if any team has more quality starts than the Tigers…seems like there is one almost everyday
Coleman
Nooooo! Leave Ricky in! He barely has 80 pitches!
JOE Z
so upsetting
Mr X
Another great game for Porcello. That’s 6 games in a row for him, where’s he’s given up 2 or fewer runs.

Welcome to the Blowpen

That was a good old-fashioned Todd Jones Rollercoaster save
Mr X
What a roller coaster that was.

Leyland on Benoit returning to the 8th inning role after a hiatus of 1 game.
“I’d have liked to go a little bit longer [working him along],” Leyland said, “but with some of the kids struggling, I’ve just got to hope he gets the job done.”

And he will use him there, because that is what 8th innings are for. I’m actually surprised he didn’t take Porcello out after 7 innings yesterday.
