Jarrod Washburn (7-6, 2.87) vs. 
Luke French (1-0, 1.89), 1:05 p.m. EST
Oh, we've got a battle of left-handers this afternoon at the CoPa! Can the Tigers get themselves a series win before the second-place (and closing in fast) White Sox swagger into town for four games this weekend?
For the Mariners, Jarrod Washburn has won his last three starts, giving up a total of two runs and 13 hits in 22 innings. He also walked just two batters in those three games, so batters have to hit their way on base against him. That worked for the Indians in Washburn's last outing, as they smacked eight hits. But the Tribe couldn't drive many of those runners in. (Sound like a familiar problem?)
The last time Washburn faced the Tigers, however, they demolished him for nine runs and 12 hits in just 2.1 innings. In 14 career starts against Detroit, Washburn has a 4-8 record and 5.51 ERA. At Comerica Park, he's 3-3 with a 6.21 ERA in seven appearances.
Luke French pitched well enough to win last Friday night at Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, Joel Zumaya and his aching shoulder blew up in the seventh inning, costing both French and the Tigers a win. But in his three starts since getting called up from the minors, French has given Detroit a dependable fifth starter, allowing four runs in 16 innings. (Six walks are a bit of a concern, however.)
As expected, Brandon Inge is back in the lineup today, batting seventh. And Dusty Ryan is making his first start at catcher since July 4. Hopefully, Dusty's not too rusty.

I have to be at work at 4:00, and if the game is not over by then, the suspense will drive me crazy.

I will tell you what will happen.
The Tigers will score run one. The other team will score more than one, likely less than 3. The Tigers will lose.
gotta wonder
whether the Tigers have ever lost 3 out of 4 games by a 2-1 score ever before?
I know we played a couple of back to back 2-1 games against the Angels a few weeks ago, but I think the Tigers won one of those, right?

Granderson's home splits
Good Lord, if ESPN Gameday is to be believed, they are horrible – 228/297/371. I had no idea – what is up with that?
Magglio changed his batting stance.
He seemed to be reaching out with the hands more, with more bat wiggle too.
He's not hitting as many ground balls.
I have noticed that. He’s still not getting hits with regularity, but his outs have been more of the flyball or strikeout variety.

"11 of Cedeno's 16 RBIs have come with two outs"
Rod: “He must be somewhat of a clutch hitter”
Or…perhaps it’s the fact that the opposing pitcher notices Ichiro standing in the on-deck circle?

i think that's a point in Cedeno's favor
Pitchers are going after him, and he’s getting the job done

Is there a term for a .100 batting average? Not that Ryan is there…although, if his average dropped by 21 points after the first at bat, he might yet make it by the end of the game

Washburn’s pitch count has to only be at, like, 30 right now. And he is now starting to vary his outs.

I’m really happy about our pitching though (Seay’s mistake a small exception).
Oh for sure......
…..Just need some hits……thats all we need

Santiago is going to pinch-hit for Dusty Ryan?
Really? That’s our best option?

It never fails...
The opposing pitching coach comes out to the mound and suddenly the guy paints the corners

9 times out of 10
When a manager comes out after 6 straight balls, the next one’s a fastball down the pipe.
Apparently that called third strike merited a lot of replay...
But no analysis whatsoever

Am I alone in thinking
they should pinch run Anderson for Brandon, what with his knee problems?
by kendra.michelle on Jul 23, 2009 3:37 PM EDT reply actions
except that inge has... knee problems
I would say it’s a good idea too
not that it will matter apparently
It DID matter!
I’m sure he ran hard as hell no matter the pain though
by kendra.michelle on Jul 23, 2009 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions
I know, I wish they would've put Anderson in
Then in the 9th they could move Raburn to 3rd and put Anderson in LF.

was outside.....
…..but to close to take with 2 strikes

I don't wish that on anyone.
But I wish Hawk to never speak again sans dying. He annoys me so, so much.
Curtis is going to get some high bids tonight for that triple

By the way...
Rafael Betancourt has been traded to the Rockies.

Last time a team got such bad run support through the whole rotation...
…the Senators were starting Walter Johnson 5 times in a row.
Buerhrle's 1st pitch to Pena
I’ve seen a slider in that exact same spot 4 times today — only time it was called a ball was when Ni threw it last inning.
Well...ya know..he's going to "walk in to one, every once in while...."

Thanks for stressing that Mario...it is appreciated.

4 out of 5 ain't bad
unless you’re talking about losing by a 2-1 count 80% of the time

FAIL.
Back to drinkin’, smoke’n, snot’n, shoot’n……

…..with a Buerhle perfect game coming in…..Its not gona be a fun weekend for tigs fans….Chi has all the mo
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions
not so fast
Baseball is not a game of momentum. We should be able to split with him and ej and we avoid buehrle. What worries me is the trip to texas. This does have all the makings of a tailspin, but baseball is funny. When something seems obvious, it often is not.
by rook34 on Jul 23, 2009 4:07 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I agree.......
…….But to say baseball isnt a game of momentum isnt true…..Im hoping for a split for sure……Just not very confident
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions
momentum is tomorrows starting pitcher
This isn’t football.
by rook34 on Jul 23, 2009 4:17 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I'm sad.
And I am also livid at the offense’s lack of anything resembling consistent hitting these past two series.
2 series?
….how about sine June 1st!!!!!
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions
1st was fun while it lasted......
…Admit it…..no one thought wed be in 1st on July 24……We did good…..Was a good season.
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:04 PM EDT reply actions
Im not being negative......
…..It has been fun…No doubt.
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions
True.....
…..Im stil hoping but with no hitting….You aint going to win…..im stil watching everynight as I have since early 90s……just not looking good

These Tigers are going to fight and they're going to claw and they're going to keep trying until the last out.
They are struggling right now but I believe this is just a hiccup. The Tigers will recover.
Gabe Kapler breaks up the perfect game
well, game day had him hitting a double, but now they have him out, so the comment I was gonna make about why can’t today’s tigers hit like former tigers is totally moot

It's like the patchwork jalopy is finally coming apart
This one hurts worse than any game all season. We got good pitching AGAIN, and still couldn’t generate any offense. And it’s not like we were facing anything that hard — 87 mph fastballs up the gut?
It’s like something that’s been alive since 2006 just died today.
Baseball’s a funny game — it can have its highs and lows. Who knows — we could come alive this weekend and emerge 4 games ahead. But the despair is too great right now for me to believe that. And Chicago is on a big high — why is it the worst fans in sports get all the happy, when our time in the sun is so fleeting?
Oh man....
…Chicago is going to be on fire this weekend after the perfect game
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:11 PM EDT reply actions
Man Oh Man....
……We need 2 or 3 bats and a 3rd baseman becasue Inge does not look good….We are in so much trouble.
by BennieBladesFan on Jul 23, 2009 4:16 PM EDT reply actions
Tied with Chi heading into July 24th.....
…….69 games left….best record in those 69 games wins divison……..us vs Chi town……lets get it started tomorrow!!!!
