PrintDetroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, May 30, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (5-2, 3.55) vs. 
Jeremy Guthrie (4-4, 4.90), 7:05 p.m. EST
The last two nights, the Detroit Tigers have made rookie pitchers named David Hernandez and Brad Bergesen look brilliant. In 13.2 combined innings, Detroit's lineup has scored just three runs. So does this mean Jeremy Guthrie should expect to have a good night? Or might a little bit of familiarity help the Tigers swing the bats with some authority again?
Guthrie was very good in his last start, however, holding the Blue Jays to one run over seven innings. That broke a streak of seven games in which he allowed three runs or more, with a 1-4 record. In four career appearances (one start) against the Tigers, Guthrie is 1-0 with a 4.85 ERA, giving up 17 hits in 13 innings.
As we know, Justin Verlander has been outstanding in his last six starts, going 5-0 with a 0.85 ERA, and striking out eight batters or more in each game. On Memorial Day, he shut out the Royals for seven innings, limiting them to five hits. But when it comes to playing the Orioles, it just comes down to one thing. Can Verlander get Luke Scott out? The two have faced each other only six times, with Scott batting 2-for-6 (.333) with one RBI. But hey, no home runs. And right now, that's saying something.
Over the past two games, it's like the ghost of Babe Ruth has taken over his body (which is entirely possible, since Ruth was born in Balto), compelling him to blast four home runs out of Camden Yards, drive in nine runs, and boast a ridiculous .714/.750/.2.429 average. Hopefully, Scott was blinded by the shaving cream pie he took to the face after last night's game or ate some bad crab cakes in the last 20 hours or so.
Jim Leyland has Curtis Granderson batting fifth once again. Given how the offense has performed in this series so far, maybe it's time to put Grandy back at leadoff. Here are your starters:

Never Fear.......
Cobb’s Conquistadors is here!
After last night’s game I picked up Freakin’ Luke Scott on my fantasy baseball team in the Bless You Boys Fantasy Baseball League, thus the hex has now been put on Mr. Scott and he is diestined to go 0-4.
I’m taking one for the team and expect kudos tossed my way upon the Tigers win tonight.
good job
I think I jinxed Willis by adding him in another league. I dropped him just in case it was me who was to blame.
by Kurt Mensching on May 30, 2009 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Commendable but
I think you are just trying to add to your total moves. He’s aiming for 100 before the All Star break!
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
Yes......but
The Commish never set a limit……..I like streaming and picking up who’s hot and dropping who’s not ……got burnt this week though…..dropped Varitek due to having Wieters stashed and V hit two home runs the next day……..oh well…..I’ve been moving on up since A-Roid has come back……knock on wood.
No there is not limit, I just thought it was funny. No worries….
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
I thought about putting on a limit
But I’m in a league with that, and it doesn’t appear to have helped in terms of more trades getting made or whatever. If someone wants to stream, I think he or she should be able to.

Clete Thomas
Where is the logic moving Clete from three hole, to lead off, to the seven hole to lead off every other game…….is that suppose to make a rookie comfortable?
I don't think lineups make a big difference
that said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Grandy back at #1. I’m not liking this constant lineup shifting.
by Kurt Mensching on May 30, 2009 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions
okay, he can stay at the 5 spot
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
how to stop luke scott
throw a beanball at his head, but make it look accidental. if he doesn’t respond, do it again. When he charges the mound and gets tossed, well, there ya go!
So I'm watching the UM-UGA softball game in addition to the Tigers
and they just did the introductions for the Bulldogs. After every player introduced herself, all I could think was “Marla Hooch……………….what a ball player”

Missed the post about Votto, but
Kahlil Greene was put on the DL yesterday for “anxiety disorder”……
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
I guess I should have paid more attention in English classes
I never knew that anxiety disorder was a synonym for hitting .200. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

Breaking info recovered since last night:
Apparently Matt Wieters was with his wife in their van a few years back fooling around…he spilled a little bit of his bodily fluids on the back seat…that van is now what we mere mortals refer to as ‘Optimus Prime’.
