Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Jul 1, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Nate Robertson (6-6, 5.23) vs. 
Scott Baker (4-2, 3.57)
First things first, Miguel Cabrera is out of the lineup tonight, which was probably expected. But no news seems to be good news, as far as a long-term injury. Maybe the Tigers are waiting to see how Miggy responds in warm-ups and workouts before making a final decision. Marcus Thames gets the start at first base tonight, with Clete Thomas in left and Matt Joyce in right.
Somehow in his last start, Nate Robertson escaped without allowing an earned run, despite giving up 11 hits to the Cardinals in 6 1/3 innings. It was one of the most Houdini-like performances you'll ever see. In two of Robertson's last three starts, in fact, he hasn't allowed an earned run. (In between, he gave up five, which is the Nate we're more familiar with, but give the man his due.) And he has pitched very well against these Minnesota Twins, winning three of his last five starts with a 2.67 ERA. In his last two appearances in the Metrodome, Robertson has just two earned runs in 14 innings.
With Robertson starting, our old friend Craig Monroe should be in the Twins' lineup. Especially since Nate owns Jason Kubel (0-for-11, five strikeouts), as La Velle E. Neal III points out in his Star Tribune blog. (Hat tip to Mack Avenue Tigers) Monroe has actually been terrible against lefties this season, however, batting .103/.175/.155 in 63 plate appearances.
Scott Baker is on a two-game winning streak, giving up four runs in 12 innings. And in his 11 starts this season, he's given up more than three runs only once. One problem he's been running into, however, is high pitch counts that have taken him out of games early. (And given what we've seen from the Minnesota bullpen in recent match-ups, the Twins would probably prefer to keep their starters in there through seven innings.) Baker is winless in his last five appearances against the Tigers, which includes two starts this season. The last time he faced Detroit, Baker had to leave after three innings with a groin injury.

Cabrera
Sure he hasn’t been great this season but I think he’s only missed one game up until this point. A day or two off could do him some good in a lot of ways.

I disagree about Nate not having a good season. He struggled out of the gate, as did all of our starters, sans AG, but he gave us two great starts that started this little winning streak and his last outing wasn’t horrible. A little disappointed, sure. But he has always been up and down.

If that number held up...
Look at the two seasons that are right below where Marcus would be (14th all-time). Mantle had 54 HR in ‘61 and Greenberg had 58 HR in ‘38. Also, I knew this before but it is astounding to me every time I think of it; Greenberg had 183 RBI one year. Say what you will about that being a situational statistic but that is incredible. He is NEVER mentioned among the greatest hitters of all time, but he put up just rediculous numbers.

I feel like leyland is in the back of the dugout banging on the top of his upside-down magic hat.

is it too much to ask that they win every game?

White Sox win.
Borowski, not satisfied with merely blowing a lead, blows the game.

It was a valiant effort. That’s OK, come back tomorrow afternoon and take the series.

Hey if we have 9 games left against the White Sox, and we’re 6 games back, how many to we have to win to take the lead?

odds are they’ll lose at least one time we win in the next 3 months.

Bah. Just one of those games.
Still, the Tigers made the Twinkies nervous. Wouldn’t have happened a couple of months ago.

The formula is pretty clear
Just push the Twins starter to leave in the 5th or 6th and attack the bullpen before Nathan.
Unfortunately, Nate gave up too many runs for that to work tonight.

he was terrible tonight. he’s very luck to only give up 6… i guess every pitcher has one though, what happens tomorrow is what matters. do they take the series? that’s the goal.

If we can take 2 of 3 in the twinkie-dome...
I’ll be pretty darn happy.
Get it done.
