PrintDetroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, May 12, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (3-2, 4.08) vs. 
Kevin Slowey (4-1, 5.50), 8:10 p.m. EST
After basking in the glow of a weekend sweep in Cleveland, the first-place Tigers see if they can keep the winning train chugging along in Minneapolis. As we know painfully well, however, the Tigers have their troubles at the Metrodome. Last season was no exception, as they went 3-6.
Suddenly, Armando Galarraga has become the black sheep of the Detroit starting rotation. He's lost his last two starts, allowing 11 runs in 11 innings (sending his ERA from 1.85 to 4.08), along with five walks versus five strikeouts. (Toss in three home runs, as well.) However, Galarraga really only had that bad first inning in his last start, giving up five runs. In his remaining five innings, he only allowed one run and three hits, so maybe he figured something out.
The Twins might not really be the best team for Galarraga to face when he's struggling, though. Last year, Minnesota was the one team he couldn't beat. In five starts, he went 0-4 with a 5.46 ERA. That includes going 0-2 at the Metrodome.
Kevin Slowey, meanwhile, looks like the opposite of Edwin Jackson, with his 4-1 record, despite a 5.50 ERA. The Twins' lineup is scoring six runs a game for him. The one game in which they only scored run for Slowey, in his last outing, is the one which he lost. But he's giving up a lot of hits, more than eight per start, so the Tigers should get quite a few scoring chances tonight.

I am already
starting to feel the terror build in my stomach for Dontrelle’s start tomorrow. The one thing keeping me somewhat hopeful is this line from a baseball prospectus article a few days ago:
“those who have watched Tigers left-hander Dontrelle Willis’ last two minor league starts on his rehab assignment are convinced that he is over his control problems and ready to succeed in the major leagues again.”

@beckjason on Larish earlier today:
Jeff Larish just hit BP ball a few rows into RF upper-deck seats at Metrodome, then almost did it again. A handful of fans are going nuts.
Shit...
I hate the Red Wings. I don’t get the game tonight.

No thanks...

Can't let Slowey off the hook tonight
They need to chase this guy by the 4th. The Twins seems to often have a starter struggle in the first against the Tigers, then settle in, can’t let it happen tonight.
Oh snap!!
I found it. I still don’t care at all about the Red Wings but I’m no longer filled with rage.

Wow...

explanation
Larish tagged up. That means that the out at first was no longer a force out. Therefore they needed to tag Larish, not just have the throw beat him to the bag.

anyone else worried about Armando?
his last few starts and the first couple innings tonight haven’t been exactly stellar
Well, I would totally agree with you
but, with BFF Willis on his way….all of our problems are over dude.
scare me too
I’m hanging my hat on this quote from a Baseball Prospectus article:
"those who have watched Tigers left-hander Dontrelle Willis’ last two minor league starts on his rehab assignment are convinced that he is over his control problems and ready to succeed in the major leagues again."
He's fallen in love with the slider
And for whatever reason, he either won’t or can’t locate his fastball.

Maybe JV should drop some subtle hints

I'll stay on a little while longer
so I can say I believed in him when noone else did
http://old-english-d.blogspot.com
what is winning the poll BTW, sorry Ian I forgot to check from your link
http://old-english-d.blogspot.com
I like Clete as much as the next guy
but please get him out of the 3-hole (even though he got a hit there). Put Granderson at 3. Roll Polanco and Thomas, or Anderson and Polanco in the top 2 spots.
It’s frankly a little embarrassing to have a nobody (at least for casual baseball fans) hitting third.
The Cult will visit your front lawn tonight
But I’ll call them off. I actually agree with you. Clete’s not the right guy for the 3-spot.

In body language lingo, it means he's nervous

To be fair to Armando
he gave up 5 runs in his first 4 games. So its not time to dump him yet, but the last 3 starts (including this one) HAVE been troubling.

it appears not--only when the ball comes straight at you and hits you in the middle of the glove
and you then miss the play is it an error

Is it too strong to say...
that I hate Joe Crede? Sorry, just turned the game on. I really wish the Tigers had signed this guy strictly so they wouldn’t have to face him anymore.
Whinge
Merrium Webster word of the day (yesterday) – to complain fretfully. That was Brandon last year.
"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti
I disagree
I don’t think he was complaining fretfully. I thought he was good about the situation. Go ahead and rag on me for saying that, but I’ll stick by him.
I hated him last year!

i'm to the point
where I say you gotta manufacture some runs and drop some sacs. I dislike the sac and know the %s as much as the next game, but they gotta find a way to push some runs across when they get guys on base. This ain’t working right now.
ha ha--yes, if that happened (for us) it would be one positive to the Metrodome
http://old-english-d.blogspot.com
they're down 4-0
Otherwise I’d agree. manufacturing a few runs still leaves you behind, and cost you outs. They need to start pound Kevin Slowey and his mediocre stuff.
well
so far tehy got two baserunners on with no outs and scored 0 runs off it. Get a run in the first, a run in the fourth, different picture

and look at who was up
Is Clete Thomas so good he can’t bunt? Brandon Inge? we’re not bunting with Cabrera here.

but Cabrera appeared to be ambling down the line instead of running it out
http://old-english-d.blogspot.com
They need to not hit into double plays
not drop down bunts. How frustrating. I hate the Twins and their Mickey Mouse ballpark.
hey, if they dropped a bunt once in awhile
They wouldn’t hit into the DP. Of course, you don’t bunt with Cabrera. But I’m just saying.

i dont think we're gonna win tonight
no clutch hitting and the American League has figured out Galarraga
I'll second the first portion of your comment. I'm going to wait a bit on the second.
He hasn’t been sharp his last 3, but I don’t buy that he’s been figured out yet. Mauer hits just about everyone and Crede hits absolutely anyone connected in any way with Detroit.
disagree on the second part
Galarraga just isnt’ locating worth crap the last few games

unfortunately
that doens’t mean he will begin locating again. we just can’t say either way. But it just seems a lot more Galarraga’s fault than what batters are doing

No one rocks a check-like swing like our boy Larish. His jack the other day looked the same way, no big follow through.
He kind of reminds me of Pedro Guerrero, in how his swing doesn’t follow through all the way.

He’s just starting to work out. Doesn’t look like he’ll be back soon. Last year it was his trammie, this year his chest, muscles. He seems to get injured quite frequently. Probably won’t be back to full strength till later in the summer.

With the exception of the home runs (which certainly aren't the Twins' MO)...
…The Twins sure have taken advantage of plays that weren’t made (first the two double plays that weren’t turned, then Perry electing to not get Gomez in a rundown). Otherwise the score is only 4-2.

If Dontelle’s start follows the script of his other “return” starts, he’ll walk quite a few but manage to pitch around them and the bullpen will give up the game. It’s the second game where it’ll catch up to him.

yeah
I can watch the Tigers upcoming opponents if I want.
I mostly just watch the A’s with it.

I like the Bosox
They’re usually on Sunday evenings so I check ’em out. But not on MLB TV

Let's see if Oakland can keep this up and score in every inning...

MLB.tv is funny...
For some reason, they think I live in Indiana, so I get blacked out of Reds, White Sox, and Cubs games, but not Tigers or Indians

Jason Beck just tweeted it
Tigers designate Juan Rincon to make room for Dontrelle on roster. Rincon has 3 days to decide whether to go to Toledo.
