Detroit Tigers at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 23, 2009 10:05 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (1-0, 2.14) vs. 
Matt Palmer (0-0, -.--), 10:05 p.m. EST
One more dance remains with the Tigers in Pacific Standard Time (until they travel out to Oakland at the end of June) before we can return to watching baseball at a more normal hour tomorrow.
Edwin Jackson comes off his first win of the season after shutting out the Mariners through eight flu-plagued innings last Saturday. Right now, he looks like far more of an ace for the Tigers than Justin Verlander has. Detroit could probably use another longer outing from Jackson after having to use four relievers last night, but Eddie Bonine and Nate Robertson haven't gotten much work lately, so maybe we could see them tonight. (On the other hand, if we see either of those two, will the game be going well for the Tigers?)
In seven career appearances against the Angels, Jackson has a 1-2 record and 5.73 ERA. All four of his starts versus LAAnaheim have been at Angel Stadium.
Matt Palmer arrives from Triple-A to take over for Darren Oliver, who last pitched this turn in the Angels' rotation. Unfortunately, Oliver may have been stretched out a bit too far in four innings and 62 pitches (he never pitched more than 2.2 innings last year), and ended up with a sore arm. But instead of going back to the bullpen, Oliver is actually headed to the 15-day DL. In two minor league starts this season, Palmer went 1-1 with an 11.74 ERA. (He was 0-2 in three major league starts for the Giants last year.)

Over-Dramatic
I’m calling it right now (albeit sarcastically) that this next series against the Royals is a must win series for the Tigers, it could decide the division race

My apologies if this has been discussed before, I was late to the party this year. Which April in the D song is worse, this year or last years?

They play/played both of ’em WAY too much, though

that last years edition seems worse because of the terrible April the tigs had vs this rather good one

i propose turning his initials CG into ciggy, and that way, you got a lineup (not in that order) of Ciggy, Miggy and Maggs.
Other than the fact it sounds like a law firm out of an Adam Sandler flick, it’s got a decent ring to it….

I’m going with … hmm. Inge is going to slow down but A-Rod has health issues. Probably A-Rod still.

Mario
got so excited for Torri Hunter (“what a year he is having”)
He wasn’t that excited for Inge and his numbers are better…

I can see Maggs hitting his 18th single
and Miggy Smalls(!) homering.
Let’s make it happen!

Well, tonight we saw the Jackson we'd been warned about
He certainly got no help from his defense, but it was a rough night.
by Ian Casselberry on Apr 24, 2009 12:02 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, he wasn't throwing strikes in the tough spots
But damn, the defense.. no favors at all from them
Lots of infield hits too

OK why is my gamecast frozen at 3 and 2 on mathis?

so it’snot just me? I thought I’d screwed it up by trying to watch the clip of Inge’s bomb
by ahtrap on Apr 24, 2009 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because of Inge's error
Ball went into the camera well, and two runs scored. Gamecast is probably trying to sort it out.

Good analysis by Rod on Cabrera at 1B
If Cabrera has his other foot on the bag, he might be able to block that ball and get it down.

Not a bad throw by Inge
Pretty clean one hop on a great diving stop….Cabrera looked like an inexperienced first baseman on that throw…

They keep mentioning that the Tigers will get to KC at like 5:30am…for a 7:30pm start….against Zack Greinke…who has been PHENOMENAL this season…
Chalk it as a loss already?
by longview on Apr 24, 2009 12:09 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
no
you’d have chalked this game up as a win, the tigers against a guy with an 11 ERA in the minors. So why chalk up a loss against Greinke?
by MackAveKurt on Apr 24, 2009 12:10 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
we’ll probably smack greinke around tomorrow, watch

Their pen is awful

Not to make a judgment too early...
but other than his clutch double play yesterday, I’m really not seeing the major defensive improvement thus far at shortstop.

Strangely,
I’m not that worried about KC, if only because Gordon can’t play and kill us.
