Game 20: Yankees at Tigers

N1021806296_2438_tiny by Kurt Mensching on in News Comment 509 comments

New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers, Apr 28, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


  Phil Hughes (0-0, -.--) vs.   Edwin Jackson (1-1, 2.77), 7:05 p.m. EST

Phil Hughes makes his season debut, getting the call up from Triple-A to take Chien-Ming Wang's spot in the rotation, as he was placed on the DL with a hip problem.  It's too bad the Tigers didn't get a chance to face Wang and his 34.50 ERA before that diagnosis. 

Hughes was 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, striking out 19 batters in 19.1 innings, so he was probably deserving of a promotion even if there wasn't an immediate need for him.  Two career starts against the Tigers have resulted in an 0-2 record and 10.24 ERA. 

After three good starts (two of them outstanding), Edwin Jackson stumbled in his last outing versus the Angels.  His defense didn't help with two bad errors, but poor control and patient Anaheim hitters resulted in him throwing a lot of pitches and lasting only five innings.  Jackson is pretty familiar with the Yankees, having faced them frequently with the Rays.  In nine starts (13 appearances) against them, he holds a 2-4 record and 5.72 ERA.

And with that, I leave you in the hands of Mr. Kurt Mensching, who will be running the show here while I'm in Seattle.  I'll see you next week.  As always, thank you for stopping by and taking part in the BYB experience!

The evil Cabrera has been hitting well lately

and Gardner’s struggled at the plate a bit. I don’t think he’s injured.

From Stripes section. I sent the link of her photos to one of my bestest friends who is also a life long Tiger fan….this was his response,

I haven’t been impressed with Lyon. Someone said in the poll thread that aside from that first game he pitched in for the Blue Jays, he’s been fine. The problem is he’s been walking too many and he’s gotten a lot of great help from the defense. There’s only so much these guys can do, and Lyon is starting to become exposed.

Say what you will about Lyon...

…he doesn’t strike guys out and gives up hits, but he WAS a strike-thrower in Arizona and he didn’t give up a lot of home runs. That seems to have changed for some reason, and now it’s time to ask why (mechanics, hidden injury, etc).

By the way, I don't know where Mario & Rod are getting their stats from...

but due to the slew of different relievers in the seventh inning, all the runs charged to Robertson and Lyon are earned runs, so actually it’s just 2 unearned runs, not 8 (personally I would rather go with the 8 unearned runs cuz our bullpen ERA is going to be killed now)

What makes it worse is the 11-0 final score….I’ve been to a Yankees 11- Tigers 0 game, back…must have been 1998, because me and my brotehr went to watch Saving Private Ryan in the theaters, and then went to Tiger Stadium and watched the fat toad (Steinbrenner’s words) Hideki Irabu make like the stud he was supposed to be, but never was and completely shut down the Tigers.

And me and the bro, given the movie we’d just watched, really didn’t even give a crap, we had heavier stuff on our minds….
