Game 83: Royals at Tigers

Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers, Jul 7, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


  Bruce Chen (0-2, 4.38) vs.   Justin Verlander (8-4, 3.54), 7:05 p.m. EST

Usually, we like to devote a paragraph to each starting pitcher in these game previews, to give you an idea of what might be expected in the game to come.  But I think I'm keeping it short and sweet tonight.  Because if the Detroit Tigers cannot win a game in which Justin Verlander starts against Bruce Chen... well, then the All-Star break can't come soon enough. 

Although maybe we shouldn't presume anything, as both Verlander and Chen are winless in their last two starts.  And neither pitcher has received very much run support, with the Tigers scoring five runs in those two games, and the Royals scoring three.  Verlander gave up seven runs in his 11.1 innings, while Chen allowed six in 12.1.  So clearly, Chen is on more of a roll.

The Old Tigers (i.e. '06 or '07) would rip Chen to shreds tonight

The new ones, I’m not so sure about. I still think we’ll win tonight because it’s a pretty overwhelming matchup. I would’ve preferred to see French tonight and Justin tomorrow but I guess that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

A question:

How long do you leave him in there? His PC is near 100, but with the All-Star break (where JV will throw only an inning or two), perhaps you can leave him in there a bit longer.

Honestly, I think it's about time to start moving Granderson down the lineup with lefties on the mound

He is batting about .190 against LHP this year. He’s been detrimental to our offense when there is a lefty on the mound and I think Leyland has been stubborn by keeping him in that spot.
