Game 13: Twins (6-6) at Tigers (2-10)

Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers, Apr 14, 2008 7:05 PM EDT


Nick Blackburn (0-1, 2.25) vs. Jeremy Bonderman (1-1, 3.97)

We'll find out soon enough whether Jim Leyland's clubhouse rampage (I'm sure he would love seeing it described that way) kick-started some urgency into these Detroit Tigers.  They're only back home for a quickie two-game series, but taking two from the Minnesota Twins here would make up some ground in the AL Central.

And what better way to begin a series than by putting your winningest starting pitcher on the mound?  Never mind that Jeremy Bonderman is the only Detroit starter with a win.  Then there's the whole problem with the Tigers having just two wins for the season.  Semantics! 

Nick Blackburn has only allowed three runs over the 12 innings he's pitched so far.  He's given up 12 hits in those two starts, but has also struck out 11 batters.  When Blackburn faced the Tigers in Detroit last September, however, they smacked him around for six runs and seven hits in just two innings.

So much for Carlos Guillen sitting out a few games for that strained hamstring.  He's back in the lineup tonight at first base.  Placido Polanco will also return to his usual spot after getting yesterday off because of a sore back.  And Brandon Inge gets a break after having to catch.  Starting lineups will be posted in the comments.

Twinkie Town provides your SB Nation opposing view for this two-game series.

Scoreless first inning for Bondo!

That might never get old.

And it's nice to see the other team hit into a double play for once.

yeah

it would also be nice to see Polanco and Sheffield hit a ball to something other than a Twin glove

Any time the name "Dr. James Andrews" is in a sentence or paragraph about a player, it ain't good.

Rod Allen = The New Yogi Berra?

Did you catch what he said during Jason Kubel's at-bat?

"A lot of times, you'll see hitters that want to use a little bit of a heavier bat, but they want to take some of the weight out of it. Therefore, the end of the bat's cupped."

Wha... ?

by Ian Casselberry on Apr 14, 2008 7:30 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Huge Insult

Yogi was a great ball player which made him funny, and there is a video of Rod Allen on youtube chasing a pitcher through the outfield in a japannese baseball league, which makes him an idiot.

Another error comes back to bite

If Pudge catches that foul behind the plate, they're out of this inning without giving up a run.

Did you see that?

Minnesota's shortstop gloved a ball that was hit deep in the hole. No, Everett didn't get to make a throw, but...

Have we seen Renteria do that this year? Can he anymore?

by Ian Casselberry on Apr 14, 2008 7:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

At this rate...

...I'll be paying more attention to the Red Wings tonight.

Will anything EVER go right for the Tigers? One dropped foul pop, and it' suddenly 2-0 Twinkies?

After Pudge's kick ass spring, I thought he might have a resurgence, but he's been...Well, awful at and behind the plate. Not quite how you want to start your campaign for a new contract.

He will always remail a mystery to me. The way he hit in the summer of 05 & April 06 I thought he would have a long, long career in Detroit. And then he completely lost it. Too bad, I liked watching him hit back then.

Cabrera

C'mon, man - that was a routine throw to third base, and he sailed it. It has to be the way he's gripping the ball or something.

And I'm sure everyone was thrilled to see Guillen jumping in the air for that throw with a gimpy hamstring.

Renteria

You know, I don't understand the venom some people have had (other than like, Mlive syndrome) toward him. He's one of the few bright points this season and singlehandedly kept the Tigers out of two no-hitters.

Maybe fans expected him to be a superstar, between what was traded to get him and moving Guillen over to 1B.

R & R

Cabrera and Guillen need an extended period of rest. Might as well do it while we're losing. Otherwise, they're going to play at 80 percent all season.

Seay was their best reliever thus far. And he couldn't get out of that jam. Rally officially squelched.

And for the tenth game in a row, the Tigers give up runs the very next inning after scoring runs.
