Last night was starting to look like more of the same, then all of a sudden the Tigers, who had been making Conley look like Koufax the first few innings, had their own private Home Run Derby, inaugurated by Jose Iglesias.
Now the Tigers have a chance to sweep this two game series, and the four-game season series. For all the Tiger woes this season they are 39-29EC (except Cleveland). Maybe it’s just a Cleveland thing, and they aren’t so bad otherwise.
Today’s Lineup:
- Kinsler, 2B
- Maybin, CF
- Cabrera, 1B
- V Martinez, DH
- Castellanos, 3B
- Upton, LF
- Moya, RF
- Saltalamacchia, C
- Iglesias, SS

Bottom of 1..this is looking better by each batter..so far!

Now in the second…were gonna need way more than 4….
That’s some alert base running by Kinsler, it got us a run. And Miggy almost took the pitcher’s head off, I’m starting to feel a little sorry for the guy.

An Aviles type hit.
Why not play Moya every day. ThiS LH..RH..is BS. Studs of the game hit everyone. So you get it in his head that he can’t hit Lefties. Plus the guys u play in his place only hit a buck and ahalf anyway. He has to learn how to play D and how to grind it out EVERYDAY…Brad you listening…oh I didn’t think so.
Tigers look great against any team….NOT named Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Oakland, Washington, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,Texas,Houston…and so on!
Salty is having a day.
McCann got to wear his (golden) sombrero all day today… nice to see Salty and the rest of DET offense show up today after yesterday’s impressive showing.
It would be nice to see DET ride a wave to AS break, but I anticipate more of the same bi-polar-ness, if/until DET pitching improves. 11 road games (4 – TAM, 3 – CLE & 4 – TOR) before ASB…its anybody’s guess – I could see 7-4 or 4-7…gonna depend on pitching.
The biggest improvement Casty has made is laying off that pitch breaking low and away. Also he takes some outside pitches to RC field….in contrast McCann is that Little Leage chant..”swing Batter Batter Swin”. He goes out of the strikezone constantly..can’t lay off that low and away……maybe he will learn.
+1 on the Casty observation. Maybe he can teach Upton.
Yup..Upton and McCann swing at as many balls out of the strikezone as they do in the strikezone. Casty used to but has learned.
8-3 a chance to get Lowe some mop up work…nope lets pitch Ryan and Wison so they won’t be available..Lowe could have pitched all three, maybe, and saved 3 arms…..even in games that mean nothing Brad doesn’t learn anything.
After the Cleveland blowouts, two good wins in the battle for .500..
