Detroit Tigers at Oakland Athletics, Jul 1, 2009 3:35 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (8-3, 3.40) vs. 
Dallas Braden (5-7, 3.26), 3:35 p.m. EST
After turning cold on Monday night, the Detroit bats showed some life last night with 12 hits. Can the offense keep it rolling, give their starting pitcher some runs, and get the Tigers out of Oakland with a series win?
Dallas Braden is winless in his past four starts, despite allowing two earned runs in each of those games. He gave up a lot more than that last time he faced the Tigers, however. During that May series in Detroit, Braden was knocked around for six runs and nine hits in five innings, one of his shortest outings of the season. In five career starts against the Tigers, his record is 1-2 with a 9.13 ERA.
Justin Verlander wasn't at his sharpest last Friday versus the Astros. Houston deserves some credit for a game plan that called for taking a lot of pitches and wearing Verlander out. (He threw 116 pitches in 5.1 innings.) But by only allowing three runs, he kept the Tigers in the game. And they probably would've won, had Joel Zumaya not decided to walk virtually every hitter he faced. Verlander has faced the A's six times over his career, compiling a 3-2 record and 2.61 ERA.

Can’t wait ‘til the game starts, and I actually have an excuse for why I’m not accomplishing something/anything at work today.

FSN undergoing technical difficulties?
They have Spotlight: Jim Leyland on instead of pregame show. At any rate, I must miss most of this game. Work does that to you, and believe me, the suspense will drive me nuts.

Possible on both counts
Having been in the future by accident, I am not sure of the repercussions of me coming back in time and discussing my experiences.
And if I am correct, I will in fact lay down some numbers for you.

but can you lay down a bunt?
because the Tigers are having troubles doing that when they try and might need an example

No, but I can pop one up to the pitcher
Though that accomplishes nothing. Doesn’t even move the runner up.

Like, divided between fans and coaches
That would make significantly more sense.
by Kmann on Jul 1, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wish they'd make up their minds
Is the all-star game strictly for the fans? Fine, then let them be idiots with their voting. They can have Josh Hamilton.
But it’s not strictly for the fans. World Series home field advantage is affected, players’ contracts are affected, possibly MVP voting or even some hall of fame voters may look back to see all-star appearances.
So it is a bit bothersome.
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 1, 2009 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Very good point.
I’d rather not leave home field advantage up to bosux fans. Just like they don’t want to leave it up to us.

I finally get to watch a game!
Albeit, because I had to come from work to meet with the Animal Control dude that I called this morning. I got bit by a big, mangy, dirty, ugly freaking mutt of a dog last night.

I am actually glad the dog bit me. It was going for little Maybin! She is a Jack Russell/Beagle mix who only weighs about 20 pounds. The mutt was probably close to 80. He would have killed her, but not for my quick reaction to snag her up!

by demondeaconsbaseball on Jul 1, 2009 4:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I liked the bunt...
looked like he was bunting for a hit, but even if it didn’t work, it still got the runner to 3rd with only 1 out.
by Ohio Tiger on Jul 1, 2009 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
actual answer?
Leyland knows Braden is a pitcher who doesn’t give up a lot of runs, so he believes Polanco has the ability with the bat to make the kind of contact to get Everett home.
Not saying I agree, but that’s his thought process I’m sure.

by Battlewagon on Jul 1, 2009 4:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
Squandered another chance to get Everett in from scoring position… he could have scored from second on a single- it’s not like Miggy was on 2nd.

Concur
Too early in the game to be taking the bat out of one of the team’s HR leaders. If he was trying for a hit, fine, Curtis has the wheels for that, but not a straight sacrifice.

Well the old Animal Control fella was here, so I feel this is apt. (It's also how I am feeling about this game....)

Just a random one.
I don’t want to be anywhere near close enough the mangy mongrel that bit me! Also, this dog is actually much cleaner looking. (Unfortunately for my health….:(

a pronounciation update
The guy who broke the Ni story to me commented on my blog that people are mispronouncing the name. (thanks to the tigers or AP)
he says it’s Ni Foo-duh, or Ni Foo-teh , rather than Foo-Tay.
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 1, 2009 5:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
you mean pronouncing it "itchy" isn't right?
by wepri31 on Jul 1, 2009 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
try “scratchy” and you may be closer
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 1, 2009 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, you can still call him Foo-duh Nee or Foo-teh Nee if you like. it’s just the “tay” sound is the problem apparently.
I don’t know these things myself, but the guy lives in the region so I’ll trust him.

You should just go to the bathroom
and stay there for a while.

…you might want to stay in there ’til Friday…or maybe Tuesday, depending…

You guys see the little league grand slam the Brewers hit yesterday?

espn highlights from the game are here
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4298658&categoryid=2521705
Bases loaded, Ryan Braun hit a deep, but pretty routine fly ball. The mets center fielder drifts over, but a couple of yards from his destination, he starts slipping all over the place, then does a faceplant, while sticking his arm out desperately.
3 runs score, the third when the catcher fails to catch a ball that got to him in plenty of time, and then Santana tries to gun Braun, who took a huge turn around third, and he throws it into left field.
’twas hillarious

You guys see that Pook was released.....
I always liked C-Mo…..just not his batting average, or his strike out rate, or his fielding. But the man, yes.

three strikeouts to end it, huh?
Even with a walk and a wild pitch in there, still beats our usual 9th inning, close out the game pitching performance…
