Game 91: Twins (50-41) at Tigers (46-44)

Minnesota Twins @ Detroit Tigers
Kevin Slowey (6-6, 3.78) vs. 
Kenny Rogers (6-6, 4.60)
How will last night's thrilling comeback by the Tigers carry into today's series opener? Will the Twins be dragging the hangover of yesterday's 18-5 loss at Boston? These are but a couple of questions to ponder going into this afternoon's game. But the question that might be the most mysterious, one that I just haven't been able to find an answer to, is why today's game is being played at 1:05 p.m. EST?
Is today a holiday that I'm not aware of? Is there something big going on in Detroit tonight that figures to tie up all the traffic downtown? Do the Tigers and Twins both have to leave town before coming back to play again tomorrow night? Did someone in the MLB scheduling office accidentally put a "1" instead of a "7" on the start time?
It's not that I have a huge problem with this. I love afternoon baseball played during the week. I just can't stand not knowing why this game is being played when it is.
Onto the game itself. With the exception of one bad, five-run inning in his last start, Kevin Slowey has been pitching a lot of scoreless baseball lately. Like 21 innings' worth. Slowey's last start against the Tigers isn't included in those 21 innings, but he didn't allow any runs in that game, either. Detroit only managed four hits against him in six innings.
Last Friday in Seattle, Kenny Rogers pitched seven terrific innings and was maybe one batter away from making it through eight. Unfortunately, Jose Lopez hit a two-run double and broke the game open for the Mariners. Rogers may have found a long-term benefit for himself, however, by "inventing" a pitch for himself during the game. He began throwing a cutter that runs inside on right-handed hitters. We'll see if Rogers uses that pitch more frequently today.
A series win would send the Tigers into the All-Star break on a high note. A sweep would give them second place in the AL Central. But Detroit are 4-7 versus the Twins this season, so they'll obviously have to start playing better against this incredibly pesky, vexing division rival.
Twinkie Town has your SB Nation opposing view for this four-game weekend series.

Afternoon Game
The only reason I can see is that today is Christmas in July at the ball park. Maybe Santa Paws has to get back to the North Pole tonight or he has another engagement.

Very creative reason.....
I bet the Tigers spin it that way. We shall see. I don’t think this promotion was on the schedule at the beginning of the season, was it? Maybe with the afternoon start, they created it afterwards?

The Santa hats
The Tigers should’ve worn those on the field today. It can’t look any worse than those camoflage uniforms the Padres wear.
Of course, Van Slyke and Lamont would need plastic Santa helmets to protect themselves. But I’m sure those are available somewhere.

Big difference from a few years ago, when September was a barren time, as you realized the next generation of Tigers weren’t much better than the guyys who wore the uniform all year to a losing record.

It's an interesting question.
Obviously, Ramon is not going to hit .350 with regular AB’s, but I think that he could be a solid hitter at the bottom of the lineup. Meanwhile, Edgar isn’t hitting at all, and Ramon is so much better defensively that I really don’t think that you can justify playing Renteria every day based solely on his career production. Remember, his one year in the AL with Boston was awful.

What I guess I'm trying to say is...
That I would be in favor of a platoon situation at short while the team tries to get Edgar healthy. Make it known that neither player has the position locked down. If the players understand that the position is up for grabs, they’ll both play with a sense of urgency.

That's the big question, isn't it?
But even if Santiago only hit as well as Renteria is currently (.250 something), he would be the better option at SS thanks to his much better range and fielding ability at short.
Ramon may end up forcing the Tigers’ hand in regard to SS… Though I doubt it wouldn’t be till after the season, when the Tigers need to decide if they should pick up Renteria’s expensive contract option. At this point, I don’t think they will, which opens up SS for Santiago.

Renteria's option.
It would be $11 million for 2009, but would cost the Tigers a $3 million buyout to decline the option.

I despise Todd Jones. But hey, a win would be a win. Gotta move him out of the closer role though.

1 out with bases loaded
And we have two consecutive strike outs?
What is so wrong with shortening up on the lumber, getting a pitch up in the zone, and putting it in the outfield?
Please tell me Larish (outside of a great day) took a big hack on that 0-1 count.

To be fair, it is not like they struck out against Todd Jones. Nathan is an all-star every year for a reason.

I hear what you're saying...
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m trying to watch the gamecast of yahoo….so I’m really out of the loop.
But it didn’t appear that Nathan had his best stuff today, no?

I need take the day off during day games.....
Watching a game via gamecast is like a long, slow, drawn out heat attack.
I’m in my mid 20s but I feel like I’m 90.

This is unbelievable. More than $100 Millon dollars for this ball club, and they can’t score a run with one out on bases loaded against a pitcher who is obviously having a bad day. I don’t get it. I admire Leyland for staying collected, because I sure couldn’t.
Go Tigers!

Morneau
is 4-4 when he comes to the plate.
Did Dolsi hang one?
Why did he even give him a pitch to hit?

This is what we get for never giving up hope - heartbreak.
I went into a meeting with the score 6-2 in the seventh, and I returned to numerous IMs from a colleague containing numerous expletives.
This is the type of loss that ruins seasons.
How much longer can we rely on Jones? He’s been really bad lately, including last night when I lucked into a win.
I’m about to throw in the towel. No sense getting excited when we’re seven games out and the White Sox don’t lose.
I hate the fucking Twins and White Sox.

Pretty much how I feel. This is the most uninspired ballclub I have ever seen. If they don’t care then why should I? I’m haning in there though, at least until another Todd Jones explosion.
