Game 58: Tigers at White Sox
Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Jun 9, 2009 8:11 PM EDT
Dontrelle Willis (1-3, 6.84) vs.
Mark Buehrle (6-2, 2.91), 8:11 p.m. EST
With the Tigers and White Sox splitting yesterday's doubleheader, we now basically have a three-game series. And it's beginning with what looks like a starting pitching mismatch.
I realize I was harsh on Dontrelle Willis after his last start, but still feel that the Tigers cannot afford to keep him in the starting rotation. Obviously, I hope the D-Train proves me wrong. He seems like a great guy who his teammates love, he answers for himself after pitching badly, and it would be nice to see him succeed because it's been so painful to watch him fail.
(And it's even more uncomfortable to read writers like Joe Lapointe and Dan Shaughnessy describe Willis's fidgety physical behavior while answering questions, inferring that there might be problems that extend beyond baseball.)
Can Willis pitch worse than he did last week against Boston? It's difficult to imagine, considering he gave up five runs without allowing a hit. But as was argued in that day's GameThread and recap, Willis didn't miss wildly out of the strike zone. Different calls on a few pitches might have made a big difference, but he clearly let that get to him. And U.S. Cellular Field isn't a ballpark that often allows struggling pitchers to escape any mistakes.
Starting for the White Sox this evening, Mark Buehrle might be the starting pitcher on the All-Tigers Killer team. A month ago, he faced the Tigers in Chicago and held them to one hit over eight innings. (It was the most dominating performance against them since, uh, last night.) In 26 career starts against Detroit, Buehrle has a 14-8 record and 2.86 ERA. He kind of owns the Tigers.
Here are your starting lineups:
EDIT: Oh, and... GO WINGS!

Podsednik had a HUGE lead cuz Brandon Inge was nowhere near him. With the way the ball bounced right back to Laird, most runners would be out easily.

Buehrle didn’t ALLOW the go-ahead run to score, but the 4th (and 5th) and go-ahead run was CHARGED to him, and unless I’m mistaken, he was in line for the loss. Why is the blown save rule different? Baseball rules are stupid.

Well, hopefully we don't have too many more of these...
Now let’s get some sleep and get back to stellar pitching tomorrow.

By the way...
Minnesota is going to win tonight and Cleveland is all of a sudden in fourth place.

No team brings out the worst in the Tigers like the White Sox do

I can't believe they won this.
I guess the Sox just wanted to lose this one a little bit more.

The first comment of the night was the most appropriate!
NCDee, “This is going to be a long night.”
I am glad I went to bed and they still won. I am even happier that I did not have to endure Rodney “live”.
