Game 64: Tigers at Cardinals

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 678 comments

Detroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 16, 2009 8:15 PM EDT


  Justin Verlander (7-2, 3.02) vs.   Adam Wainwright (6-4, 3.49), 8:15 p.m. EST

After a disappointing series loss in Pittsburgh over the weekend, the Tigers continue Interleague Play in St. Louis.  (Are the Tigers allowed to play the Cardinals at Busch Stadium during the regular season?  When's the last time that happened?)

For some more on the Cardinals, check out Will Leitch's column at Deadspin today.  Cardinals Nation is preoccupied with the possibility of losing Albert Pujols.  Tony LaRussa is ticked off with his front office for not getting better players to help Pujols.  And if the team's not making an effort to win, both LaRussa and Pujols might decide to move on. 

But let's talk about tonight's game.  We have a match-up of pitching aces, facing two lineups struggling to score runs.  So we should expect a good ol' slugfest, right?

Adam Wainwright leads the Cardinals' pitching staff in wins, ERA, and strikeouts.  He opposes the Tigers for the first time since... striking out Brandon Inge to win the 2006 World Series.  Wainwright picked up the win in his last start, despite giving up 11 hits in seven innings, thanks to a 13-run outburst from the Cards' offense.  (Contrast that with Wainwright losing his previous outing, despite giving up only two runs and three hits to the Rockies.) 

Justin Verlander was outstanding in his last start, allowing one run and six hits to a White Sox lineup that's knocked him around in the past.  Was that his best game of the season?  It's probably in the discussion.  But the fact that it's difficult to say for sure indicates just how well Verlander has pitched this year.  He's allowed one run in his last 17 innings.  Verlander last faced the Cardinals in 2007, pitching eight innings while giving up two runs and five hits.

Here are tonight's starting lineups (with a pitcher hitting eighth for the Cards!):

As much as I love Curtis hitting 4th or 5th…. Don Kelly batting first?

Did they ever explain why Clete was sent down?

by anaaki on Jun 16, 2009 7:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

"Shorten his swing up"

Was Leyland’s explanation. It doesn’t sound like he’ll be down for too long.

by Tagne13 on Jun 16, 2009 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I don’t expect him to be gone long. Something had clearly gone south with his swing, he was something like 2 for 23 in June at that point (with one grand slam, admittedly) after being phenomenal in May.

He’ll be back.

Leyland appears to still be reluctant to use Thames for whatever reason

He should be behind Migs playing LF with Grandy leading off.

I would also like to see Josh Anderson more consistently… his speed is a real weapon.

Evening fellas

So glad to hear that Willis isn’t pitching Saturday. I’ve got tickets for me and 12 of my friends, and I wasn’t looking forward to that at all.

Miner? Some random minor leaguer? No one has really stood out to me from @billfer’s minor league recaps.

trade talk on radio today

apparently 97.1 was trying to start a Porcello, Wilkin Ramirez, and Clete Thomas for Roy Halladay trade rumor today.. Toronto is shopping Halladay I guess, but this doesn’t make much sense to me since we’d still have a shitty #4 and #5 guy and would be left with two less prospects… but figured I’d fill you guys in on what I heard.

I will say, DD needs to get creative and figure a trade out because we need help in the rotation and it’s not coming from within

Doesn't matter

He’s a terrible defender. That’s the fourth ball that he hasn’t gotten to tonight. A league average RF would have at least gotten 1 or 2 of those!

Their job is to generate discussion

and from what I’m hearing, there was a lot of intelligent conversations about this. Personally, I think it’s ridiculous long term, but an interesting idea for this year and maybe next year. Halladay would instantly make our Top 3 the best in the Majors, maybe ever. Porcello is 20 years old and has proven he’s filthy good for a few months, but he’s young and you never know with young pitching. Look at Andrew Miller. Plus, from what I’ve understood, Porcello might not even be a factor in August or September this year if we shut him down because of too many innings. In terms of winning this year, that deal is not that bad, but I would never pull the trigger on it because I’m a big picture type guy

Not much with that particular play

But he is by far one of the worst defenders out there. That was the fourth ball he let drop in tonight. A league average defender could’ve gotten to at least one or two of the balls that maggs let drop in tonight!

by TIGERSFAN40 on Jun 16, 2009 9:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Look...

It’s not like these guys are a bunch of talentless hacks. I said this back during Spring Training, the Tigers have all the ability in the world. It’s going to boil down to realizing that potential, and right now they’re simply not doing in. As much as everyone wants to complain right now, I KNOW that Maggs and Polanco (and Laird, to a lesser extent) are much better hitters than what they’ve shown, and Armando Galarraga is a much better pitcher than what he’s shown recently. There’s obviously no easy solution, but there’s gotta be one that doesn’t involve kicking these guys to the curb.

by SabreRoseTiger on Jun 16, 2009 9:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Then it would come down to the manager, wouldn't it?

The players have talent, no doubt. Could it be that Leyland doesn’t really know what he’s doing and 2006 was dumb luck?

Oh, I am sure he can....

and that may be the only thing that will get him released, which needs to happen. It pains me to say that. I really do like Nate, he’s a nice guy but he’s got nothing.

Problem is....

The Tigers are not the Pistons….I will fall off this bandwagon so fast, Leylands " no contract extension" ass head will spin!

on a lighter note-

Pudge ties Carlton Fisk for most games caught today (and he is hitting .257 with 5 HR)

There is a cycle...

Struggling offense puts a lot of stress on the pitching staff. They try to do too much, and the result is an eventual implosion.

Verlander has been absolutely carrying this team on the days he pitches. He just ran out of gas tonight. He’ll be fine next time.

Brad Penny

is being shopped by the BoSox, or better yet Cliff Lee may be up for grabs in a couple of weeks. Anybody think the Tiges make a move for either of them…

Cle Will Never Trade Lee.....

…..to a division rival…..and isnt Pennys ERA higher then Dontrelles?

by BennieBladesFan on Jun 16, 2009 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Penny

About 2 runs lower, but he doesn’t kill the team… He pitches mediocre, but its a dependable mediocre… Is that a sad argument or what…

by busta on Jun 16, 2009 10:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

from wikipedia

On June 14, 2009, Lee took a no-hitter into the 8th inning vs St Louis, striking out 6 and walking 2. Lee allowed 3 hits in a complete game shutout, improving his record to 4-6 and his ERA to 2.88.
