Game 75: Tigers (35-39) at Padres (32-44)

Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres, Jun 22, 2008 4:05 PM EDT


Justin Verlander (3-9, 4.55) vs. Randy Wolf (5-5, 4.16)

What better way to finish off a series and a six-game road than by sending your ace out to the mound?  And Justin Verlander isn't just an ace in name only these days; he's pitching like the staff stud, too.  Though he only has one win in his last three starts, Verlander gave up just six runs in 22 innings.  The no-decision he took on Monday against San Francisco was the first time he hadn't won in Interleague Play.

Gaslamp Ball also reminds us that Padres fans love to be reminded of the 2004 draft, when San Diego could've selected Verlander #1 overall.

Before tripping up in his last outing, Randy Wolf had put together six straight quality starts.  But the quality of competition should probably be considered, as each of those six opponents is currently under .500.  Against the Yankees on Tuesday, Wolf gave up seven runs (five earned) on six hits. 

With Jon Paul Morosi writing about the Tigers possibly adding a veteran fifth starter (though he nixes any thoughts on acquiring Derek Lowe), maybe Wolf is someone we should all take a closer look at today.  He's a free agent after the season, and especially compared to someone like Lowe, has a pretty affordable salary ($4.75 million.)  Wolf hasn't pitched in the American League before, which is a concern, but he's always posted good strikeout numbers (77 in 88 2/3 innings this year).

Lineup notes: Ryan Raburn plays second base today, while Marcus Thames returns to left field.  Pudge Rodriguez is also back behind the plate.

St. Louis

The Cards lead 2-0 after 6 at Fenway. Redbirds looking for a sweep. Hopefully, the Tigers can do to a hot St. Louis team what they did to a hot White Sox team. Also, Pujols may be available for the Thursday game but will likely not play until the start of the Fri/Sat/Sun Cards/Royals series.

How does Pudge hit 8 or 9 home runs in spring training and have just one home run this season?

by MSU4LIF on Jun 22, 2008 5:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The only HR he hit came with an assist, too. The ball hit the right fielder right in the glove and bounced over the fence. I was thinking about this a couple days ago. I had expectations of more power coming out of spring training.

"When trainling after 8, SD is winless this year",

until they met Todd “Roller Coaster” Jones!

I joke, keep the faith brother!

Jones took a liner to the right leg/knee (looked like)

See

Last year Jonesy said that he knew he was painful to watch in the ninth, so what the fans should do when he comes in is go make a sandwich. When they finish, he’ll be done, one way or the other.

No one, it appears

Gerut hit a ball right back at Jones, got him on the side of the right knee.

Easy for me to say

But maybe it’s fortunate that the ball chopped off the grass first before hitting Jones’ knee.

I was going to say…

His control seemed pretty good after getting hit.

That could be what Rodney throws at for five minutes each day.
