Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers, May 2, 2009 3:40 PM EDT
vs.
In theory, today's game is "nationally televised." But let's not kid ourselves here. Unless you live in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, or ... FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA?! (For Pronk or what?), you probably aren't going to catch this one. The Tigers are buried in the midst of their longest losing streak of the season, which, at three games, could be worse, right? But let's end it right now, mmmkay? This is not a habit to start, and losing baseball makes us all sad!
The baseball gods saw fit to flip the script last night, when they tagged Armando Galarraga with his 1.50 ERA (at the time) with a loss and handed Carl Pavano (9.50!) the victory. ... Will they continue to play such games when the Tigers send Zach Miner to the mound with more than twice the ERA of Cleveland's Aaron Laffey? Right handers have a .681 OPS against the left-handed Laffey. Left-handers should probably take the day off. Fortunately, the Tigers sluggers are mostly righties. The other Indians' storyline today is a lot of transactions in the past day or two. The main one? Highly-touted outfield prospect Matt LaPorta is joining the team after bashing a 1.024 OPS for Triple-A Columbus in April. Hey, at least he's not a lefty!
Oh and I forgot to mention last night, our SBN Indians counterpart to check out is Let's Go Tribe.
(Lineups added 4 p.m.)

Treanor done for season
Jason Beck, on Twitter (@beckjason): Matt Treanor had right hip surgery Thursday to remove bone spur. Tigers say it’ll most likely be season-ending.
He expects Sardinha to be the backup from here forward.

I agree… I have MLB extra innings, so I’ve heard announcers all over the league for the last 5 seasons. I have to say the Indians team is in the top 3 of most annoying, biased, and stupid announcers in the league.

There’s a lot of technical stuff I could get into, but basically every station (Fox, NBC etc.) only has X amount of bandwidth they can use at a given time. This is just due to the limit of the television infrastructure across the nation. My guess is your Fox affiliate is throwing more horsepower at their HD feed, which makes their SD feed suffer.
by john.kmiecik on May 2, 2009 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think it's quite that
one fox station is from green bay, the other is from marquette. The cable company picks up the green bay feed because if the packers don’t get on tv people storm the cable office with pitchforks and torches. (the congressman has even interceded, or at least taken credit for it) The Marquette station just sucks. (Our ABC is worse, no HD plus constant freezing and audio problems!)

I’ve had an HDTV for three years, but have not yet lived somewhere I can get any kind of HD signal (not even free OTA stuff). Thankfully, I’m moving over this next coming week. Comcast will be called, and I better be watching HD Tigers next weekend.

Where I live in Indianapolis I don’t have a choice. Comcast is all I get. ATT Uverse is not available (and probably won’t be) and I live on the river so there are too many trees in my backyard for a dish. Comcast = Satan.

I’m fine with Comcast. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories. I need them for internet anyway. My apartment won’t let me attach a DirecTV dish to my balcony, it has to be on a tripod. Then I have to give my apartment complex a $100 security deposit for said tripod (yeah, it’s a racket). Then I have to carry insurance in case the dish falls over and hurts someone below.

He would have been out of the inning with NO runs allowed,
if Raburn could actually field any position.
by Zappatista on May 2, 2009 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so, truthfully, there should be 5 unearned runs on the board for the Indians, and instead, Miner gets all the blame?
by ahtrap on May 2, 2009 5:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes
First, Raburn trips. Then he recovers, gets under the ball, and it pops out of his glove. It’s not like he tried to make a hard play and failed. There’s no way that was anything but an error. All 5 should be unearned because there were two outs.
by MackAveKurt on May 2, 2009 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
probably tired some
he wasn’t keeping the ball down as well. still would have been out of it with a 5-0 lead if raburn hell onto it.

officially, no, it was scored a hit. But that 5 spot in the Cleveland 5th? The third out popped out of his glove, and this was after he fell on his way to catch the ball.

Not sure what Zoom did. He got two guys out.

Looking back at my comment...
I didn’t mean to include Zoom in there (started out saying something else, and didn’t completely erase the thought), though he still gave up the go-ahead run.
