Detroit Tigers at Houston Astros, Jun 26, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (8-3, 3.31) vs. 
Wandy Rodriguez (6-6, 3.18), 8:05 p.m. EST
Following an undefeated homestand against the Brewers and Cubs, the Tigers travel to Houston to take on one more NL Central team and complete this season's slate of Interleague Play. And in the process, they'll also get to see an old friend in the opposing lineup.
Pitching for the Astros, Wandy Rodriguez comes off what was probably his best start of the season. In seven innings at the Metrodome, he held the Twins to one run and two hits, adding eight strikeouts. That broke a personal five-game winless streak. At home this year, Rodriguez has a 3-2 record and 2.15 ERA in seven starts. He faced the Tigers in 2006 at Comerica Park, giving up seven runs and 10 hits in 6.2 innings.
Jim Leyland decided to break up Justin Verlander and Edwin Jackson in Detroit's starting rotation, in order to keep the Tigers' bullpen fresher for the other three starters' turns. So tonight, Verlander switches places with Alfredo Figaro, who will start tomorrow.
Verlander gave up two home runs to Milwaukee in his previous outing, but kept the damage to a minimum and ended up outpitching Yovani Gallardo in a battle of aces. He also compiled eight strikeouts in his 7.2 innings. Verlander has won eight of his last 11 starts. In his one appearance against the Astros during that same 2006 series in Detroit, he shut Houston out over eight innings, allowing just three hits.
With no DH in the National League park, Marcus Thames will be in left field tonight. And with the pitcher in the lineup, Magglio Ordonez moves up to the sixth spot in the batting order.

That Verlander guy is pitching again tonight
I’m not sure where he came from but I think he may end up being pretty good.

So Kurt
a waiver means that a team waives their rights to a particular player and therefore they are no longer obligated to keep him on the 40-man roster???
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

waivers is essentially a waiting period — a couple days where other clubs can claim the player. If no one claims he, you can send him to the minors.

He might have figured that Wandy was unnerved enough that he would throw a pitch right down the middle for a strike after the two walks, though. I could understand that logic.

When I’d catch a game at my mom’s, I would have to take periodic breaks from the horror. I asked how she could watch such bad baseball, and she said “growing up a Cub fan, you develop an immunity to this kind of thing.”

There was this Cubbies fan behind me. He was critiquing everyone. He heard me ask the guy next to me what Lily’s WHIP was. And of course he interjected and said to me All you need to know is your pitcher’s WHIP is really bad and ours is really good. So I just said Oh, ok. And about an hour later, I turned and asked how do you think Lily’s WHIP is now?

just thought I would mention
Zach Miner was pitching great today. He was hitting all of his spots even though the inning wasn’t 1,2,3. 6/7 pitches to Lee were in his “blue zone” where he wasn’t hitting well, and Berkman’s was as well. All of Tejada’s pitches were well placed, low, and it resulted in a groundout.
Also, a GIDP is great.
Hopefully his confidence continues to grow and he keeps getting people out.

Ha! I love it! We're all so afraid the jinx of losing willl overtake us
that every little misstep or mistakes makes people crazy. At least we take turns, going crazy. Look at poor Bennie, he can’t he even make himself join the game thread so he won’t be a jinx in his mind. We are a ridiculous lot, at times. But it’s fun!

we had 4-0 lead
and now it’s 4-3
by VegasTigers on Jun 26, 2009 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, yes, TECHNICALLY ...
But it was an early, early lead and the Astros have been gaining the rest of the game. It’s getting to the point where you are hoping the clock runs out before they catch up completely.
I’m much, MUCH more nervous watching hockey. This is nothing. :)
