PrintDetroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Jul 3, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
Luke French (0-0, 0.00) vs. 
Kevin Slowey (10-3, 4.41), 8:10 p.m. EST
Following a 1-2 stop in Oakland, the Tigers travel to Minneapolis to play the team right behind them in the AL Central. Will Detroit return to Detroit on Sunday night in sole possession of first place? Or will the Twins be alongside them in the top spot?
Much like the Tigers' pitching staff did when they visited Busch Stadium, the Twins' Kevin Slowey wilted in the St. Louis heat during his last start. Pitching just three innings (one of his shortest outings of the season), Slowey allowed five runs and six hits, including two home runs. (Maybe we should cut him a break on those homers, however, since both of them were from Albert Pujols. Sometimes, when you're faced with awesome, you just can't stop it.)
Slowey's record against the Tigers is 3-0 with a 4.57 ERA in four starts. A win tonight would give him the most victories in the American League.
Luke French makes his first start for Detroit tonight, the primary thinking being that a left-hander could be useful against the Twins' lineup. But it's not like French didn't deserve the promotion anyway. In his past three starts with Triple-A Toledo, he allowed four earned runs over 23 innings, with 26 strikeouts versus three walks. (Yet he didn't pick up the win in either of those games, which tells you how the Mud Hens are playing right now.)
With Toledo, French has compiled a 4-4 record and 2.98 ERA. He appeared in two games with the Tigers back in May, coming out of the bullpen to pitch three innings, posting three strikeouts and three walks.
Twinkie Town has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series. We hope your holiday weekend is off to an excellent start.

also, i'm amazingly tired
4 vs 4 kickball in a full field. i played second base/shortstop/right/center/left field. went 8/9 (with a lineout my only out) and scored 4 runs. my team won 9-8 in 5 innings. so tired…
is that what you guys do until it's broomball season again?

we normally play frisbockey
ultimate frisbee with hockey nets as goals. great fun. today was a pep band scrimmage honestly. it was percussion vs BAs (tubas). us Concussionists won the day.
also, broomball is life
Tech is a strange, quirky place
Good to see you’re enjoying it.
By the way — and I know you don’t need me to tell you this — your band is a hell of a lot smarter than NMU’s. When they show up at sporting events, they seem to feel like they’re the star of the show and they have no idea how to properly integrate with the game.
As a Big10 alum, I could only shake my head at how ill-timed and out-of-place their musical selections were.
Tech’s pep band, I know, is a lot better than that.
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 3, 2009 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions
that's for sure
i’m actually the head “taunter” for the band. actually, last year when FSD televised the football game at the dome, our band was invited. we got there only to find out that northern’s president decreed we could not bring our instruments into the building for fear of taking their home field advantage away. so we brought in small chunks of wood, cowbells, anything we could get our hands on. and we were LOUDER than the NMU band, WITH their instruments.
also, broomball is life
I covered that game — did a column though, didn’t do the game story.
That’s a shame they didn’t let you take your instruments in, too. Because big D1 football games frequently have both bands in attendance. You would think, having the FSN — and “national” audience — crew there, having both bands playing their teams fight songs at the appropriate times would only show the rest of the state how great rivalry it is.

with or without a goalie?
I like the concept…the place I’m moving to has a city park nearby, and I know they had a field set up with mini-soccer goals…could definitely be used for something like what you describe, if we got enough people.

Aroldis Chapman
I believe DD should make a serious play on trying to get this kid. Imagine the rotation if he were to be as good as he sounds, Verlander – Chapman – Jackson – Porcello – (to be determined), for the next 5 years.
I find it quite interesting
Thought he looked pretty darn good in the WBC. But he’ll end up on one of the coasts, I’m sure : /

AKA the Metrodome.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
I hate to see him go and it's sad to watch him struggle
I don’t think there is any kind of change coming from him at the plate. Only the front office knows what’s going to become of Maggs.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
I think it's a sad ending
But at this point of the season, you have to make a commitment to the team winning the division and, unfortunately, Maggs is more of a detriment than a help and shows no signs of turning it around.

Sorry everybody, but when I went over to break a right foot,
Joe Mauer was visiting and I got distracted. The Tigers will just have to win with him there.
Who's feeling good about the French Connection tonight?
I am. Don’t know why. I guess it’s because he has a cool name that I think he could be a good pitcher. Not sure how that logic works…
hoping for beginner's luck?
a la Figaro in his first start?
I’d take it.

I was coming out of the grocery store earlier and I heard a baby crying in the car parked next to mine. When I looked over, I saw it was in there ALONE. I called the police and right about the time they pulled up the father cam outside and he was arrested on the spot for child endangerment. Then the guy who was arrested, his mother came walking out of the family dollar, nest door to the grocery store and they cuffed her too and called CPS. I am very proud of myself. It was 11 months old and strapped in a car seat.

that’s terrible. i hate bad parents. too many people i know my age are parents that either neglect, abuse, or otherwise harm their children through incompetence
then the father
says I was only in the store like 5 mins… like that made it ok. dumbass.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
Prediction for Frenchy tonight?
I say 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 4 Ks
Not saying he’s a bad pitcher but he drew a pretty awful situation to come into tonight.
Hey
we’re moving into less and less K’s here…not good

10 1/3 -1 ER -2 Ks
Seriously though, remember a few years back when Halladay went 10 IP? The other guy went 9 IP and lost IIRC.
French does benefit from never having faced the twins, but I have a bad feeling about todays game, I hope I am wrong.

Did anybody see the pitch that gave the Cubs the win today?
That was surely a strike, Cubs got a gift.
Let's see here...
Is Kansas City still playing? Yes? I’ll go with them then, they have that one kid with the real hot stuff, Grenkie, or something.
Interesting stat from the game I’m watching right now. which team since 2000 has spent the most days in first place?
not too surprised

Good night of baseball tonight for me
Got the Tigers game on the television and the Sox/Royals game on MLB.tv.
If the Sox somehow get to Greinke tonight I might just believe in what they’re doing.
I'd give my right arm to pitch in a major league game
but it’d be a short outing, because I’m not sure I could get it to the plate with my left arm….

Remember back in '07 when Maggs would get into an 0-2 count
and then climb out of it and draw a walk? God I miss those days.
Miggy likes to get into early 0-2 counts, I’ve noticed. I can’t complain considering his .330 average but I’d like to see a tad more discipline at the plate. I’m just getting greedy, though.
I saw this in the transactions and just HAD to share

Not to start a contreversy
but I find it interesting that with all the hub-bub about Magglio and even Placido not hitting well at all NO ONE talks about Granderson. Is it just because of the home runs? I mean I don’t think it’s good our lead-off hitter is struggling to stay over .250
Maggs
was acquired to drive ’em in. I think this is why. Everyone expects more from him.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
and he's not driving. Period!

Agreed.
His line-drive percentage is way down from previous years, but he’s still hitting RHP well. I’ve been wishing he’d be dropped in the lineup against LH starters.
well his OPS is above .800, he’s getting on base more, driving runs in more, and plays gold glove level defense.
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 3, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions
no i think you are right
it’s because grandy has put up some power numbers (has any lead-off hitter put up MORE power?) and he is an above average defender
by Motown'sFinest on Jul 3, 2009 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions
I still think it's alarming
no one in the media has come out and mentioned this….he’s a good player, sure, but .250 doesn’t cut the mustard for me….not if you’re purpose is to get on base
agreed
ideally he would bat in the 2 hole or 3 hole

I know they are patriotic and all, but I hate those red hats. They don’t match, and they are blindly bright.
I don’t like them on any team. Just use the regular team colors for the hat, and place the special logo in place of the typical team logo. I don’t really understand why they’re red.
I do believe your'e right
I think some amount goes to charity at least.
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 3, 2009 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Obviously it's too early to judge
But if French can at least give us a sort of 5 innings 4 runs sort of deal every fifth day, where would you put our next biggest area to improve on?
Personally, I’m thinking it’s another big bat (and not, as most would say, a replacement for Galarraga).
ignore the 4 ER in 5 innings

51 pitches through 3 IP
But, his pitch count might not be the reason for his exit tonight…. Just guessing :)
Slowey will go 6 IP tonight
So Gardy can preserve the bullpen.
It’s always frustrating to see an opposing starter be on the verge of being yanked but then stay in for three more innings.
I get so excited

i got called away to make dinner for my girlfriend. back now to see a ridiculous lead. not expecting that. checking the box score now.
More on Granderson for Tagne
Got lost in the Tigers scoring runs and didn’t get back to your discussion.
If you want to talk about your leadoff batter getting on base, you don’t look at average, you look at on-base percentage. Granderson’s is third among regular batters in the Tigers lineup in that with 339 (.347 for the month of June)
339 isn’t ideal, but man, the entire team stinks at getting on base!
funny how he could never do that in Detroit

batting average really shouldn’t concern anyone anymore. there’s so many better ways to measure what you do for a team. getting on base, getting extra base hits, etc.

OK, I'm starting to think the Sox are for real.
They’ve got the best bullpen in the division, a VERY potent 3-4-5 in their lineup, and three proven starters in Danks, Floyd, and Buehrle.
I would much rather see the Tigers go toe-to-toe with the Chi Sox than the Twins in the Dog Days of Summer, if only to renew the rivalry of ’06.
Well despite him being from your town
I doubt the Sox would part with a guy who throws 97 for strikes

a reply from way earlier
about frisbockey. it’s 6 vs 6, smaller field game. usually you put cones to create a crease around the goal so there is a zone nobody can go into. you can have a “goalie” sort of, but they can only stand there and prevent people from throwing into the goal, but not actually get into the crease themselves. i have the rules online somewhere…
69 pitches after 4? an efficient 5th, and maybe French can go 6 for us?
