Game 65: Tigers at Cardinals

Detroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 17, 2009 8:15 PM EDT


  Edwin Jackson (6-3, 2.24) vs.   Todd Wellemeyer (5-6, 5.50), 8:15 p.m. EST

So maybe the Detroit Tigers were rusty after Monday's off-day?  That's one theory we can take into the second game of this series with the St. Louis Cardinals.  You can offer others in tonight's GameThread at your discretion.

Can Edwin Jackson stop the bleeding and stanch the wound that has been this three-game losing streak?  He wasn't as dominant in his last start as he'd been in the previous six, struggling with his control (issuing four walks) and racking up a high pitch count.  But he still gave the Tigers a chance to win after five innings, by holding the White Sox to just two runs.  (By the way, either no one noticed or you were to polite to point out that I had Justin Verlander's won-loss record and ERA posted for Jackson last week.  I didn't notice until the next day.  Sorry about that.) 

Todd Wellemeyer is totally killing one of my fantasy teams winless in his past three outings, allowing 15 runs in 18 innings.  A big reason for his problems, according to MLB.com, is that his fastball is averaging around 91 m.p.h., and he was hitting 96 m.p.h. last year.  In his last start, Wellemeyer gave up 11 hits to the Marlins, his second-highest total of the season.  (Of course, so did Adam Wainwright, and look how he did against the Tigers last night.)

The top of tonight's Tigers lineup is a welcome change, especially at the top of the order, where Jim Leyland has bacially been crossing his fingers for far too long now.  Curtis Granderson bats leadoff, with Miguel Cabrera hitting third, and Marcus Thames in the cleanup spot.  Enough of serving the lefty-righty mistress.  Put the best eight guys on the field. 

(I'm also kind of tired of the lineup widgets not being available until 30 minutes before gametime, when they're often available elsewhere much earlier.  So we're posting 'em in the comments like we used to.  And if I don't get to it, anyone else is welcome to do so.  Booyah.)

Finally, I forgot to mention last night that Viva El Birdos (whose former steward, Larry Borowsky, is responsible for bringing me onto BYB) has your SB Nation opposing view for this series.

I'm checking out the 25 man roster

on the Tigers website, Christopher Sedon is listed, well, sorta, must be a mistake. In any event….

If Lucas French or Alfredo Figaro get called up to pitch Saturday, which is possible, who do you think gets sent down?

Christopher Sedon

is the guy they drafted in the 9th or 10th round. He’s listed on the 25 man roster with no number.

He's a second baseman

Why would his name even be on there? Is he on there until they assign him to a minor league team. Huh? Anybody know out there.

who do we have coming up next inning?

by Motown'sFinest on Jun 17, 2009 10:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Got him!

Laird can throw the baseball real hard.

by explosivo2k2 on Jun 17, 2009 10:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree

As I said earlier…. why take him out? His pinch hitter probably won’t get a hit either… may as well keep him in, take the out and have him go another half (assuming he gets through this one unscathed)

I'm not totally sold that Jackson should be done

our bullpen HAS to be dead right? he’s pitching well, and we’re only down a run. I say let him get the 7th inning as well

by Ohio Tiger on Jun 17, 2009 10:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I disagree...

I think Pineapple Express should pinch-hit for him to help generate some offense.

what blew my mind

was Pittsburghers (?) were all over the place this entire weekend. We kept asking them why they were on a Wings blog when they should be hanging out celebrating with other fans?

I know that’s what all the Wings fans I know were doing last year. Just bizarre.

(And they were mean and illiterate – a bad combination.)

Hey Cardinals fan

everyone I know who took this facebook quiz came back with the result we are best suited to be cardinals fans.

So either it’s rigged, the Tigers are the AL’s Cardinals, or we’re all the the Cardinals closet and not admitting it.

I’m not sure which yet.

and more to do with the fact that Grandy is the only one actually hitting the ball tonight
