Game 57: Tigers at White Sox

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 592 comments

Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Jun 8, 2009 8:11 PM EDT


  Jeremy Bonderman (0-0, -.--) vs.   Jose Contreras (0-5, 8.19), 8:11 p.m. EST

After winning the first half of today's doubleheader, 5-4, the Tigers attempt to take two from the White Sox.  If you didn't already hear the news, Ryan Perry was optioned to Toledo after this afternoon's game to make way for Jeremy Bonderman.  With three relievers used in Game 1, let's hope that's not a move that comes back to hurt the Tigers this evening.  (Though Bobby Seay threw only six pitches, and Fernando Rodney only eight.)

We get our first look tonight at the new, lower-octane Bondo, who will try to get by with less velocity but perhaps more finesse.  Will he be a right-handed Kenny Rogers?  Not exactly, but it'll be interesting to see how often (and how well) he employs the change-up he used frequently in his minor league rehab.  In 15 career starts against the White Sox, Bondo has a 5-9 record and 4.40 ERA.  At U.S. Cellular Field, he's 2-4 with a 4.69 ERA in seven appearances.  

Jose Contreras has been in the minors for the past month after losing his job in the White Sox's starting rotation.  Before he was sent down, Contreras was brutal in six starts, one of which was a loss to the Tigers.  In five starts with Triple-A Charlotte, however, he posted a 3-1 record and 2.70 ERA, with 27 strikeouts and 16 walks in 33.2 innings.  So did Contreras figure something out in the minors or did he benefit from the Triple-A competition?

Curtis Granderson moves back down to the fifth spot for this game, with Josh Anderson batting leadoff and playing left field.  Miguel Cabrera is the designated hitter, with Ryan Raburn starting at first base.  Magglio Ordonez gets a rest, with Clete Thomas taking over in right field.

South Side Sox has your SB Nation opposing view for the evening.

What are the expectations for Bondo tonight?

I don’t have high expectations, at best a five inning, three run performance. i just hope the Tigers can get to Contreras.

I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

But don't worry...

Perry’s not using an option unless he’s down there 20 days+, which probably won’t be a problem since he’s gonna be a major leaguer forevah!

Cabrera

I have a not-so-secret man crush on El Caballo… but I feel like the Tigers need to bite the bullet, put him on the DL, and bring back Larish for 15 days.

I feel like we are in a better position to do that now… before the All Star Break, with a four game lead in the Central, and with Thames back. The not[so-attractive alternative is to have a gimpy Cabrera continue to struggle in the field and at the plate all while risking further injury to his massive leg.

Hamstrings are the worst…

by trross1200 on Jun 8, 2009 7:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

Seeing him today, at the least he needs to sit out the rest of the series…

Why on EARTH did he play yesterday is the real question? Would DD just give Leyland the goddamn one year extension already so we can quit this 132-pitch-Cabrera-limpin’ bullcrap?

He speaks much better now than he did a couple years ago. Seems a little more comfy speaking in public. All I care about is his pitching. And right now he “ain’t” doin too good.

This is an odd statement...

but U.S. Cellular Field is one of the most obnoxious ballparks in the majors. Not necessarily the fans, but the ballpark itself.

So I didn't see

Did Galarraga get a no decision earlier? Who got the win? Zoom Zoom?

Yeah,

he vultured one…..after giving up a tying run in the bottom of the inning…

Vultured!

I was trying to come up with that word earlier. Thank you.

Yeah, Zoom got the win.

Galarraga was pretty good. Zoom gave up game-tying HR to Konerko, then the Tigers scored in the ninth.

I watched the game

just didn’t pay attention to who they gave the win too. I thought ‘Mando did a good job. Looks like he’s making the adjustments he needs

I’m not sure. Willis doesn’t look like he deserves it, Bonderman didn’t look ready, but considering it’s a game in chicago he could have had the same results two years ago, so who knows about him.

If

he can be more consistent, he could stay in rotation. Even JL said he’s never sure what Willis is gonna do from start to start

The thing about Willis...

Is that in his last two starts, his struggles have been different. Against Baltimore, he gave up a bunch of hits but only walked two. Against Boston, he walked a bunch of guys and didn’t give up any hits. So he’s not struggling in a consistent area. I don’t know what to make of that, though.

he’s putting a lot of pressure on himself. And I am sure the front office has something to say too. I mean its a huge investment

I'm probably the only one

who like like to ultimately see Miner back in the rotation but I realize Leyland is intent on having him in his current role

by Tagne13 on Jun 8, 2009 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If he is left with no other choice...

He will put Miner back in the rotation. But both Bonderman and Willis would have to struggle.

Yeah, but...

By the end of the season, most teams do not have the same five guys in their rotation that they broke camp with.

I wrote an entire blog post on it, asking for Miner to be back in the rotation. Ideally, he’s in it rather than Bonderman or Willis!

he's hitting fine

started the season bad but he’s been hitting and getting on base quite a bit sense. But the knock on him is more about his catching skills than his obviously nice batting skills

he has like 9 HR too if I'm not mistaken

something the Tigers could use right now

I know

Dane does a good job catching, but we need another catcher that can hit too. I miss the good ole days before pudge went south… both at the plate and to Texas

If you figure that the Combo.....

…..of JV Jackson and Porcello can win 2 of 3 games that they pitch and you can get Galaraga or Willis/Bondo combo to split thats 3 out of 5 and that should acrry us to the playoffs rather easily…..thats why we need to get the bats going and everything will be fine…..We can then run JV and Jackson out in games 1 and 2 in the playoffs….that gives us a shot

by BennieBladesFan on Jun 8, 2009 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I figure this

Twins struggle on the road and have a lot more road games to go. White Sox apparently suck when not hosting the Tigers. So I’ve heard anyway.

Tigers should be considered the division favorites, but it’s definitely not going to be easy.

I know we disagree....

….alot but you have to admit that with JV and Jackson going thats two games that we have a really good shot at every 5 days…..the other 3 are toss ups……If the sticks get going it will surely help the pitchers in those contests…..I think this team has enoigh right now….short of maybe one more arm in the pen…to make the playoffs in this division
