Game 70: Cubs at Tigers

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 638 comments

Chicago Cubs at Detroit Tigers, Jun 23, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


  Carlos Zambrano (4-2, 3.44) vs.   Edwin Jackson (6-4, 2.39), 7:05 p.m. EST

Following a weekend sweep of the Brewers, the Tigers try to keep their four-game winning streak going against another NL Central team.  The Cubbies are in town!  (And they limp into Detroit with a 13-19 road record.)

Carlos Zambrano is winless in his past two outings, despite allowing four runs and nine hits in 15 innings.  (He's gotten the win in only one of his five starts since returning from the DL.  Yet the Cubs won four of those games, which tells you how a starting pitcher's number of wins doesn't always reflect how well he's playing.)  In six appearances on the road this season, Zambrano has a 3-1 record and 2.58 ERA. 

Though his last start wasn't his best effort of the season, Edwin Jackson was largely victimized by the Tigers' then-slumping offense.  In six innings, he gave up three runs and seven hits to the Cardinals, while tying a season-high with seven strikeouts.  At Comerica Park, Jackson has a 3-1 record and 3.00 ERA in six starts.  Detroit's lineup hasn't scored more than three runs for Jackson in five straight starts.  How about giving the guy at least four tonight?

Magglio Ordonez "indefinite" hiatus ends tonight, as he's back in the starting lineup.  However, he's batting seventh, behind Brandon Inge and in front of Gerald Laird.  (In seven career plate appearances against Zambrano, Ordonez has a .200/.429/.400 average with one double and two walks.)  Ramon Santiago gets the start at shortstop, batting ninth.

Bleed Cubbie Blue has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series.  (Did Sammy Sosa really taper his jersey sleeves to make his arms look bigger?)

I like this lineup!! I know a lot of people might kill me for saying this but I really think Anderson brings another dimension to the lineup. I would rather see him in RF instead of Maggs.

Since Edwin is pitching (we seem to never score when he is pitching) I say a fair number is 3 runs. So over? or under? I say under but I am hoping I am wrong.

i’d start CLETE over Maggs.

But to answer you: Anderson provides nice defense and I suppose doesn’t hit any worse than Maggs so he wins out

If you don't mind me rudely interjecting

I completely agree. The thing I love most about Anderson is his speed. He’s a 40 SB guy if he plays everyday, IMO.

I don’t wanna blame Maggs, but the Tigers needs to have a huge offensive game with him in the lineup, and soon, otherwise….the coincidence is just that, I’m sure…but….y’know?

Well now

If Maggs hadn’t started, they wouldn’t have replaced him with Anderson, and then replaced HIM with Raburn.

That Leyland. He sure can strategerize.

What's going on at the CoPa?

It’s loud there. Could barely hear the man of the hour.

you'd think something good happened

instead of a near loss and a desparation offensive substitution.

what a guy!

"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti

Dear Bless you Boys gang

Please forgive my misspelling of Ryan Raburns name…. I have always done that to Ryan. Somehow it doesn’t look right without that “y” . Ok thanks I will never do that again. He is my new hero, for the week. :o)
