It looked like another blowout in the making yesterday with Boyd’s first inning, but he pulled it together and ended up pitching a good game, and giving Detroit a chance to win. Unfortunately: Johnny Cueto vs. Detroit bats. Even Ian Kinsler was blanked.
You know Norris and Boyd have a little bit of a competition with each other. Boyd just pulled in front.
Brad Ausmus complained about Johnny Cueto’s delivery both during and after the game, which provoked a huge shrug.
In other, more interesting news, Miguel Cabrera is fixing to come back. Apparently there was a rehab assignment discussed, but Cabrera says he doesn’t do no rehab.
In preparation for Cabrera’s return, Tom Gorzelanny pitched batting practice to him. These things write themselves sometimes.
Today’s First Time We’ve Seen This One Lineup:
- Anthony Gose, CF
- Jose Iglesias, SS
- Ian Kinsler, 2B
- Victor Martinez, DH
- JD Martinez, RF
- Tyler Collins, LF
- James McCann, C
- Jefrey Marte, 1B
- Andrew Romine, 3B
Last night McCann and Iglesias both out, tonight both in. They are now forever linked.

Anibal Sanchez, future Home Run Detby pitcher.
With Cabrerra coming back and Victor hitting .100 why bother. Its not like he will see any pitches. Martinez is the guy who needs rehab anyway!!!!
How stupid can we be on the basepaths?
I’d answer that, but there are space considerations here.
Good one, Coleman!
Time after time, it becomes frustrating to watch.
No sense even getting into the “quality hacks” Detroit hitters are taking….
The Gopher strikes again.
And again. Sanchez left in too long again.
8 hits in two days and Marte has half of them…wow what an offensive juggernaut…and everyone blames the pitching. I bet they have gone 60 games 1 or 2 runs!!!!!!!!!
[…] By Coleman […]
I basically watch very little of these games after watching 99% of the first 80. But I do check Tigers live to hear Ausmus say nothing. He attributes the Tigers being the worst baserunning team in baseball to the fact that they are too aggressive. We are talking about a team that can barely make it to first base on a ground out. They lead the MLB in pickoffs because they are “too aggressive”, or he says MAYBE its a lack of concentration!! Maybe!! you kidding me. He has NO EXPLANATION for why the Tigers play like they do!!!..He has no idea why Sanchez has given up a MBL leading 28 dingers. ..
He is clueless. And Al Av says hes our guy. ASSMUS is so far over his head that he doesn’t know he’s over his head!!.
Oh and I have to mention Craig Monroe FINLLY DIDN’T say this team is fine..they are ok..he says that every single day……well today he stated…”this team has to play better baseball!!….hellloooo!
This just in: The Tigers lead the entire MLB in the following catagories:
Runners thrown out at home (16)
Runners thrown out stealing (36)
Runners picked off the bases
Fewest Sacs(8)
Most home runs allowed
And we really don’t have to wonder why they play like they do.
Couldn’t edit….
HOME RUNS allowed 130
Triples allowed 37
Sacs were actually 13 not 8
Headed to Houston for the three game series…maybe we will see Cabrera play? http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2015/08/11/detroit-tigers-miguel-cabrera/31492441/
0-2…now 2-10 rest of month!
