PrintBoston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers, Jun 3, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Josh Beckett (5-2, 4.60) vs. 
Armando Galarraga (3-5, 5.50), 7:05 p.m. EST
After losing the first game of this series to the Red Sox (and watching their home ballpark overtaken by a squirrel), the Tigers are currently 4-8 against AL East teams this season. Is it possible that the team watched video footage of that furry varmint in the clubhouse later on and found themselves inspired by its persistence, its refusal to surrender against an unfamiliar environment and grabby human overlords? Okay, maybe not.
Josh Beckett hasn't lost in his past five starts for Boston. And during that streak, he's allowed three or fewer runs in each game. In his last two outings, Beckett has given up only one earned run in 15 innings. So the Tigers appear to be catching him at a pretty bad time. Who has the most success against him in the Tigers' lineup? It might be Adam Everett, batting .333/.333/.778 with one homer in nine at-bats versus Beckett.
For the Tigers, the hope is that Armando Galarraga had a breakthrough in his last start. For the first time in his past six appearances, he gave up fewer than four runs and showed good control. Staying in the strike zone so consistently, however, probably resulted in the 10 hits he allowed, the most he's given up in his Tigers career. Galarraga has also served up a home run in six straight games, so if you're sitting in the outfield tonight, you might be getting a souvenir.
Jeff Larish gets the start at DH tonight, with Magglio Ordonez back in right field and Clete Thomas moving over to left.

change the lineup again
I think if Mr. Granderson isn’t batting 1st, he should be hitting 3rd, Miggy 4th, Maggs 5th.
big dillema
I don’t know if I want to listen to Mario and Rod, or see what these ESPN fools have to say tonight
Armando is in for the long haul tonight
I would think the bullpen is fairly weak after last night’s debacle
Beckett is such a chump...
Hopefully this is one of those games where he dogs it.
Beckett....
Kurt, I have to call you out! You can’t start Beckett in Fantasy when he’s playing the Tigers! C’mon! Ha.
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
you say that because you want to preserve your lead!
it’s win-win from my point of view!

the yahoo update just said grounded out to catcher….and granted, I haven’t been able to watch Tigers games for the last 6 years, but “magglio” and “bunt” aren’t two words that go together in my head…. :)
unfotunately
Magglio and “grounded out” go together too well, especially when there’s a runner on first.

Required Ortiz comment:
He needs to be put out to pasture.
Former Tigers prospect on the move
Gorkys Hernandez and some other folk moves from Braves to Pirates for McLouth.
The skeptic in me says...
… if anyone can break Big Papi out of his slump, it seems like it could be Armando Galarraga
Yup.....
….At least he makes contact once a game

Problem is though,
that’s an awful small sample size and he is most certainly a streaky hitter facing a top tier pitcher…at least my two cents!
he's off the bench
of course it’s a small sample. it’s also proof that he’s being used in a way that results in success.

looks like an awful wide strikezone tonight.

Good thing Davidson is giving Beckett a strike zone the size of my garage door tonight.
Because, really, he needed more help against this lineup.
who's idea was it
to infest Tiger baseball with a member of the lions?
no offense
if it were you I’d be cool with it, or your namesake that is, Bennie was cool
Looks like he bought those Tigers duds
once he got in the park.
I like how they gave him a prop

he and daunte are gonna make golden corral sorry they came to town
Last time I went to an Ol' Country Buffet...
I watched as a little kid scraped the corn off his plate back onto the buffet.
Yeah
Drafted in the 3rd round by the Browns, I think.
isn't it funny..
how much different this game would feel right now if it were still 0-0? Armando looks like he’s settled down nicely, but it still feels like we’re in huge hole. if it’s 0-0 it feels like a pitchers duel. now it feels like we’re trying to climb mount everest.
Probably because we’re playing an actual talented team instead of the normal hit or miss garbage we play in the central…sucks.
I miss playing the West
wasn’t that sweep of the first place Rangers fun?

Hitting Beckett Should....
……Be easier then a guy like JV……Hes just a two pitch pitcher…….Just gota be more aggresive…..They are taking so many pitches…..Early in the year when they were hitting they wernt worried about counts and the other pitcher

he has Jeremy Bonderman disease
he’s allergic to the first inning, it makes him break out in home runs
I dont get....
…..Why we arent hitting this guy…..Hes just fastball curveball…..I think they are just thinking to much…..Just need to relax…..Hes just another pitcher
I'll bet Beckett's necklace
still has vomit in it from their last world series win.
I was about to respond
but there are too many ways to get kicked out of here dangling at the end of that one
anybody catch Leyland on the pre-game radio show?
He was extra surly about the offense tonight
I'll bet the only time he's happy
is while he’s eating bbq chicken while smoking with the door closed in his office, by himself.
do you think that works?
I’ll give it a try if it does.

Early In The Year When We were Hitting.....
…..We wernt worried about counts and working the pitchers pitch count…..they swung at pitches that looked good and didnt think twice about it….they seem so tentative now….never swing at 1st strike they see….Always taking….Gota be aggresive
I agree
Larish was a walking example of a batter on his heels during his last AB

missed your question, was out of the room, my answer is now above
Looked like Galarraga tried to get out of the way
Like Rod said, Green was out of the baseline.
by Ian Casselberry on Jun 3, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions
if you can't get Nick Green out
you can at least block him
just curious
what was their take on the interference? did they say that he ran into Armando on purpose?
Said it was absolutely the right call
Looked incidental but the rule is anything to slow the runner down, intentional or not, is interference
i get that that's the rule
but there should be a loop-hole when guys clearly draw interference on purpose. I hate the red sox.
Too bad
he didn’t channel his inner Farnsworth and just pile drive his ass.

Yinka was this Nigerian guy who played for the New Jersey Nets. He’s sitting on the bench next to Jayson Williams, sees Laettner’s “C” and asks him what that stands for. Williams asks Dare what he thinks it stands for.

no
that was after they ran him into the boston bullpen… he then escaped and hung out by the fountain for a while. He made friends with a seagull, and they hing out on the track together for a bit and then he took off into right field again… and was then trapped in the boston dugout and who knows what happened to him after that. we were all rooting for him telling him “run run” he was definitely the highlight of the game…
