Game 63: Tigers at Pirates

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 790 comments

Detroit Tigers at Pittsburgh Pirates, Jun 14, 2009 1:35 PM EDT


  Dontrelle Willis (1-3, 6.60) vs.   Ross Ohlendorf (5-5, 4.82), 1:35 p.m. EST

After Armando Galarraga and Nate Robertson pitched like batting practice machines last night, the Tigers put their chances for a series win over the Pirates in the left hand of Dontrelle Willis. 

Though Willis didn't pitch all that well on Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs, five hits, and five walks in five innings, he showed some impressive determination (or pride and stubbornness) by insisting upon staying in the game after hurting his knee (and clearly limping around on it between pitches).  Between that, and the current state of Detroit's starting rotation, Willis has given himself more chances to prove he can provide a meaningful contribution to the Tigers' playoff drive. 

And I think everyone's looking forward to seeing the D-Train swing the bat today.  In 404 career plate appearances, Willis has a .234/.280/.359 average, and shown some surprising pop with eight home runs, five triples, and 35 RBIs.  Swing away, Dontrelle!  Swing away. 

Pitching for the Pirates, Ross Ohlendorf is winless in his past four starts, giving up four or more runs in three of those games.  In his last outing, however, he pitched pretty well, allowing three runs over six innings, but Pittsburgh's bullpen eventually coughed up the game.  Ohlendorf faced the Tigers last year while with the Yankees, throwing five strikeouts in 3.1 scoreless innings of relief.

UPDATE: Here are today's starting lineups, clothed in 1909 throwback uniforms:

Lineup?

I try my best to defend Jim Leyland every time he does something unconventional… but I can’t take his lineups anymore. Don Kelly batting leadoff? Josh Anderson (.248/.285/.325) batting third?

Are we trying to lose this series?

by trross1200 on Jun 14, 2009 1:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I had the same exact thought.

Some of these lineups appear to be pulled out of a hat. Polanco, Thames, and Ordonez don’t need frequent rest. Our AAA left-handed bats don’t deserve to start against every right-hander.

how to restructure the rotation

Willis is released and Miner takes his spot
Bring up Clay Rapada (who has been killing it in AAA) to fill Miner’s spot in the pen

Also, French has a 3.53 ERA for the Mud Hens and although his K/IP concerns me, he is our SP if we are looking to fill from within.

but it’s a long season and with the extra day tomorrow….why not. I would rather have them at the end, especially with the pitcher we put out there.

NO,

I would give my verterans who need days off, the freaking day off when we don’t have a chance in hell to stop the other team from scoring secondary to shitty pitching.

That better?

I would have pulled the D-train after the first set of walked batters with bases loaded, before we start hemorrhaging.

he wanted to give a little extra defense in the outfield. It was a routine day off for Polly, but Maggs has has three already this week.

Or maybe Maggs is feeling a bit sore.

just to clear it up

I bungled the language, but yes, verlander and jackson shouldn’t be eligible to become free agents on their own until after 2011. they are arbitration eligible for 2010 and 2011 seasons.

Club control means the club can lowball them for the first three years more or less. Then 3 years of arbitration follow.
