PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Detroit Tigers, Jun 20, 2009 4:05 PM EDT
Dave Bush (3-3, 5.31) vs. 
Alfredo Figaro (0-0, -.--), 4:05 p.m. EST
The actual fireworks were canceled last night at Comerica Park after rain delayed the game past midnight. But the Detroit Tigers' bats provided plenty of boom for the home crowd. Can they keep up the scoring this afternoon against the Brewers?
Dave Bush posted his worst performance of the season in his last start, giving up eight runs, six hits (two of them homers), and two walks in just 3.1 innings versus the Indians. (Though Milwaukee's offense let him off the hook with a no-decision.) That extended his winless streak to five games. On the road this year, Bush has a 2-2 record and 5.89 ERA. He hasn't faced the Tigers since 2005, when he was with Toronto. But in those three appearances (two starts), he finished with an 0-1 record and 10.89 ERA.
Welcome to the big leagues, Alfredo Figaro. Your mission, should you choose to accept it - and the Tigers really need you to do so - is to give Detroit the reliable fifth starting pitcher it's been searching for since Spring Training. Fresh off the bus (okay, it was probably a plane) from Double-A Erie, Figaro compiled a 5-2 record and 4.10 ERA in 11 starts with the Seawolves. It's going to be a warm day in Detroit today, so it'll be interesting to see if Figaro can get the Brewers to keep the ball on the ground.
As you might have guessed from the start time, today's game is part of FOX's national coverage. Or should that be regional coverage, considering Tigers-Brewers is third on the broadcast totem pole, and probably restricted largely to the Detroit and Milwaukee markets? A match-up of two first-place teams isn't a better game than Cardinals-Royals, FOX? Boo.

I’ll take it.

Meh

Crap since the Mets have their own station here, and it’s a waste to have them take up what could be a chance to see the Tigers on TV.

White space is restful to the eyes.
“Dapper Don” sounds like a 60-year-old man, but “Diamond Don” sounds like a crime lord.
Any other options, I wonder.

Precisely on Dapper Don. 60-year old rich man.
Diamond Don sounds tough, plus, baseball diamonds and all. Out of all options I have heard, I like that the best.
AHA! I have heard that before!
Thank you for putting the two together for me in my brain.
I have one more “n” on Kramer though.

The St. Louis-KC game is being rained on now
so we will get Tigers for a bit, but do they mean to tell us, those who live IN MICHIGAN, that we would have watched the KC game!?!?!?!?!
I am beyond confused and worried.
I better get to see my Tigers (full game)
or you all will be extremely happy you don’t watch the game with me in person
maybe with a tire iron?

what was with that random scott podsednik mention?
does he have him on his fantasy team or something?
He can be very proud of his debut.

yeah a lot to like
he’s annoyed with himself, but when he gets the debut and nerves out of the way, I bet he doesn’t leave as many balls up and cuts down the hits against him. It looks promising.

“I’m very respectful of Scott Boras, but I’m not going to listen to his (nonsense),” Leyland said
“This is about Magglio Ordonez and a manager trying to do something that he thinks may help and get him right,” Leyland said. "Is it the right thing? I don’t know. But that is what this is about. And I’m not going to take shots from people in the newspaper that are untruths.
“If it’s the truth and I’m wrong, then go ahead and punch me in the jaw, but don’t give me this (nonsense).”

how much of figaro's success ...
Do you attribute to the fact that other teams haven’t seen him and don’t necessarily have an in depth and accurate / reliable scouting report?
I happen to think that this is why Armando was so successful in his first year and now is barely an effective innings eater.
hard sayin
he’s got some nice movement and seems to be keeping the ball down better and throwing strikes. He does have quality pitches and a minor league track record.

I don’t think they are going to let him get his vesting at bats.
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
I don't think he can until the Tigers actually cut him.
But, I could be wrong. I don’t think anybody can tell a club to start somebody though.

is it squandering when you score two runs in an inning? I think it’s worth a pass….

Squandering is getting squat after setting up a good opportunity. If scoring results, then no squandering was done.

They’ve only got one starter they can trust more or less every time out, Gallardo….
Bullpen is usually decent enough, although there have been a couple of blowups recently, what with the Indians getting 12 and 8 runs (even though the Brewers won those games), and Hoffman was pretty lights out until last week….
This is more a Tigers bat resurgence, I agree with Dee about getting Thames’ bat back in the lineup.
