Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners, Jul 6, 2008 4:10 PM EDT
Nate Robertson (6-7, 5.56) vs. 
Ryan Rowland-Smith (2-1, 3.05)
One week after finally surpassing the .500 mark for the first time this season, the Detroit Tigers fell back below it after their second straight loss to the Seattle Mariners, who have the worst record in the American League. Winning today would salvage a series split. Baseball Musings has a post today showing how much the Mariners have improved in 15 games under interim manager Jim Riggleman.
Ryan Rowland-Smith makes just his second major league start today, filling Felix Hernandez's spot in the rotation. In his first start, he pitched a scoreless three innings before giving up three runs in the fourth. Fatigue was surely a factor, as that was the longest Rowland-Smith had gone into a game this season. He's apparently not fully stretched out for a starter's workload yet, so a patient approach from the Tigers might chase him from the game relatively early.
Nate Robertson has been a batting practice machine in his last two starts, giving up 11 hits in each of those appearances. Against the Cardinals, he somehow allowed only one run in that barrage. Robertson couldn't pull the same escape act against the Twins, however, giving up six runs. In his last three starts against Seattle, dating back to last year, Robertson has allowed at least four runs. At Safeco Field back in May, he served up two home runs to Adrian Beltre, but the Tigers' lineup bailed him out by scoring seven runs for him.
If you missed it, the All-Star lineups were just announced. Detroit will have one representative at Yankee Stadium, with Carlos Guillen being named to the squad.

The Tigers' lineup
It really looks a lot worse without Maggs. They are so much more dangerous when he is healthy.
by Grant E. on Jul 6, 2008 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The big problem....
Is that putting in this many subs means the guys ahead of them get nothing to hit. Joyce affects Sheff, etc. Having 2-3 semi-dead spots in the lineup actually can make 4-5, depending on who is hitting where.
Maybe having Clete behind Edgar will help. The back four of our order looks pretty scary, and I do not mean that in a good way.

I don’t have time to look up the numbers as I am watching the Tig’s and the Indy Car race, but the Tigers have to lead the leage in Runners Left On Base..no?

Tigers are averaging 7.2 runners left on base per game. That’s 7th in the AL and 15th in the MLB.

still only the 4th inning
and this is a “bullpen start” from Seattle, so we’ll see a few more pitchers for the Mariners. I agree, though, the Tigers have missed several opportunities so far…

that we have no runs to show against a bullpen start. there just seem to be a few too many automatic outs in the line up lately.

Backup catcher on the mound! Come on now people!

And tossing a knuckle ball, naturally.

Could've run a bit faster for my liking
But I know he’s hurt.

Only in a season...
With hemmorhoids, pillow injuries, amazing stretches of offensive ineptitude and who knows what else I am forgetting, we are facing the backup catcher. Who throws a knuckle..
Unreal.

WHOO!!!
Yeah, baby! Don’t send that back-up catcher stuff against the Tigers!

They should've won this thing...
About six innings ago. Now let’s finish this thing off.

Jonesy just likes to work with a degree of difficulty

The rollercoaster pic is suppose to come up before the inning starts
UGH!

Despite not getting that roller coaster pic up...
Jones pulls it out. Wow. I need a nap.

Ballgame!
Actually, it was almost two ballgames. Big win however we can get it.

Nothing like...
hanging a loss on a backup catcher. Well done, guys. Great job by the arms-15 innings of 1-run ball helps out the old ERA.
Nice to be coming home and not facing CC on Tuesday. JV will not be sad to see him go.

Yeah
I have much the same feeling
by Ian Casselberry on Jul 6, 2008 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Remember last year...
when Jonesy said that if we did not like the way the Tigers were playing, we could just watch the Lions?

All in all...
Between tennis and baseball, I’ve been in front of the TV for the last 11 1/2 hours or so.

This felt
Shakesperian. Like a great drama that is resolved by a jester getting hit in the head with a cantaloupe.

See ya Tuesday
And let’s get some COPA magic going.
