Spring Game Thread: Braves at Tigers
Javier Vazquez vs.
Jeremy Bonderman, 1:05 p.m. EST
If today's match-up has a familiar ring to it, Javier Vazquez and Jeremy Bonderman faced each other on television 10 days ago. Here we go again.
Bondo's appearance comes after Jim Leyland announced yesterday that he was "highly unlikely" to make his first turn in the rotation, which probably would've been in Detroit's fourth or fifth game of the season. With Opening Day just over a week away, he has a lot of stamina to build. Depending on how Bonderman performs today, a trip to the disabled list to begin the year could be a possibility.
For your viewing purposes, Bondo should be done with his work for the day before many of you switch over to CBS for the Michigan State-Louisville game at 2 p.m. EST. (And judging by how many Spartans we have in the BYB Brigade, along with how many picked MSU in the BYB Bracket Blowout, I imagine that will draw some interest. If it's anywhere near as good as last night's Villanova-Pittsburgh game was, hoo boy.)

sorry
that was meant to sound like Garth from Wayne’s World

I'm guessing...
that just his lifetime all-time team? A lot of guys missing (e.g., KALINE)

it was MY ALL TIME TIGERS TEAM
not THE all time tiger team..
I don’t know if I could prefaced it any better than I did… I guess some Tigers’ fans have reading comprehension issues

nope
just didn’t read it. checked in on it when I saw Ian’s comments. Sorry. I figured that’s what it was when I saw the players

I didn't mean you personally
I don’t appreciate being called an idiot when I never saw Kaline play, only highlights
to put Darrell Evans in over Cabrera too when Evans couldn’t hit over .240 is a bit foolish

apology
I owe you one. a) for not reading it all b) I didn’t see all the comments of people calling you out for not having Kaline etc. haha my bad dude. I like the idea of the post for sure. You’re not pretending to know everything and giving a list of players you never saw. I like that. Sorry

anderson
It’s tough to walk Garrett Anderson. Thankfully is close to impossible to walk Francouer.

I bet Bondo was working on something with that pitch.
by Ian Casselberry on Mar 29, 2009 2:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
either that
or his blood is showing some sort of problems that we’re not aware of

Today's non-baseball thought
Playing in domes for anything but the Final Four needs to stop.

the lighting in that dome sucks

Infante isn't a good enough hitter
as we all know
by Boney on Mar 29, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Detroit makes too many national league players
Santiago, Raburn, Inge, Infante
wtf

Velocity
I wish they had the gun up for the viewers to see… I bet he’s still throwing slow. That pitch to Franc looked like batting practice
by Detroit4lyfe on Mar 29, 2009 2:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
so I guess Willis can't pitch today or
is his DL stint not starting until Opening Day?
by Boney on Mar 29, 2009 2:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
looks like Granderson's hands are starting lower..
wonder if that’s an adjustment from Lloyd…

going to switch to the Spartans game.. if anyone is watching the Tags game — updates on here?

Inge-tastic!
That sounded like a home run as soon as he made contact. 2-run shot, Tigers take the lead.

far as I remember
Galarraga appears to be on tap for the home opener. So the 3 and 4 spots are the ones that are open.

Guillen's fielding
Hate to say it… looks a lot like Barry Bonds at the end of his career. At least he’s getting to everything.

not to get ahead of myself
but april 6 could be an eventful evening…
