LINEUPS



 

Last year's Cy Young Award winner, the Indians' Cliff Lee, faces this year's great big ball of confusion, the Tigers' Justin Verlander, in the rubber match of today's series between Detroit and Cleveland. If the two pitch to their potential, this game could be over by the second period of the Red Wings' game. But both have been shaky this year.

The Tigers have not won a series at home since sweeping the Rangers their opening weekend. Since then, they've split with the White Sox and dropped 2 of 3 to the Yankees. Can the Tigers reverse that trend today? We'll find out!

Let's Go Tigers!

Wow

Tigers attendance is down 24% from last season. I guess that’s to be expected after a year that was sold out pretty much daily, to a year where 10 games have been played mostly in bad weather while the economy crumbles a year after the team finished in last.

Yesterday’s 35,000 or so was promising though. Hopefully it picks up before ESPN freak out about fire sales.

Oh wait, too late.

a struggling pitcher facing the Tigers

i’ve seen this storyline before, and i’m not too happy with the way it’s been turning out

http://www.fromthecopa.blogspot.com/

by rock n rye on May 3, 2009 1:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

well, he's not struggling so much now

He’s allowed 3 earned runs in his last 22 innings. So hopefully that storyline doesnt apply.

Update on Raburn's fielding error from yesterday

@beckjason: The Raburn play from Saturday has been changed to a 2-base error, making those 3 runs on Miner unearned.

that might mean 8 consecutively

not just 8 straight outs. Either way, the fact that I googled “most consecutive outs by strikeout” proves that JV is dealing

And wow; Raburn sucks.

Yeah, I’m surprised Dusty Ryan wasn’t brought up

by MrPants20 on May 3, 2009 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

tigers wanted him to play regularly

in Toledo. They probably believe Sardinha has plateaued. It makes sense.

by MackAveKurt on May 3, 2009 2:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Free Ryan Raburn

has a different connotation this year. Last year it meant play him more. This year it means cut him loose.

I had that same thought yesterday haha

by MrPants20 on May 3, 2009 2:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe they were trying to showcase Raburn for a trade...

since he’s out of options to the minors. I don’t think that has worked.

and it also puts an extra baserunner on in a close game. Concede the run, don’t give them a chance to score more.

with two outs, I do

with one out, I’m sketpical, but it sets up the double play. With no outs, I don’t like it. If the batter is Victor Martinez, maybe.

in a 1-1 ballgame

I’m worried about the guy on third, not the guy I’m putting at first.

by ThaWalrus9 on May 3, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

in a 1-1 ballgame in the ninth

but in the seventh, I still want to prevent the big inning and take the out. It’s the same reason you hate to see your team sacrifice. You don’t want to give up an out.

by MackAveKurt on May 3, 2009 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you've only got 6 more outs to go

You’ve got to be most concerned with not falling behind if you can avoid it. There’s not right answer, just personal preference.

Carlos Guillen

his BABIP (batting average on balls in play) was .239 coming into today, and he’s got 4 flyouts today. That suggests he’s been getting unlucky so far this year.

Outstanding effort.

Well done! Took the series against a division rival!

Glad to see...

us winning games like this one today. Last year we could only win if we pounced all over the opposing pitcher early. Really refreshing to see us hang in there, ride a quality pitching performance, pick up important runs late, and close it out with our bullpen. This kind of game never would have happened last year.

From the Indians' SB Nation gamethread:

“no chance. This guy is ON.”

Yeah, Verlander was dealing today.

Pitcher from Seattle. He needs to be a Tiger. I wanna see a fellow Lithuanian-American in the D. Send Miggy, Porcello, and Iorg. I don’t care. This needs to happen. And 3-3, woo
