Game 135: Tigers at Rays

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 468 comments

Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays, Sep 5, 2009 7:08 PM EDT


  Armando Galarraga (6-10, 5.05) vs.   James Shields (9-10, 3.86), 7:08 p.m. EST

The Tigers repeated Sunday's pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Jeff Niemann with another low-scoring match-up last night.  The Rays would surely love to replay Monday's 11-run outburst for James Shields.  But they won't have Jarrod Washburn to knock around this time.

Shields hardly pitched a gem last Monday against the Tigers, giving up five runs (four earned) and 10 hits over seven innings.  However, after getting an early 6-0 lead, he could afford to just throw strikes and let the Tigers hit the ball a bit.  At home this season, Shields has a 4-6 record and 3.35 ERA in 15 starts.  Carlos Guillen got four hits the last time he faced Shields.  Can he swing that kind of bat again? 

Armando Galarraga was already set to be recalled from Triple-A today.  But the original plan was for him to pitch a rehab start for the Mud Hens last night.  Change of plans, thanks to Washburn's sore knee.  Before Galarraga was optioned to Toledo to rest his sore elbow, he'd pitched two consecutive starts in which he allowed two runs.  In one start at Tropicana Field last year, Galarraga gave up one and four hits in seven innings.

Lineup-wise, Alex Avila gets the start at catcher tonight.  Will he be able to shut down the Rays' running game the way Gerald Laird has.  (Avila got the start last Monday, but Tampa didn't have to steal any bases, as they were too busy scoring runs.)  Magglio Ordonez is in right field, while Ramon Santiago starts at shortstop.

Avila vs. Laird

Quick numbers. Avila’s first, then Laird.

Batting: .308/.400/.641 in 16 games 45 plate appearances — .220/.299/.327 in 109 games 386 plate appearances
Fielding (percentage/errors/chances/caught stealing): 1.000/0/68/13% — .996/779/3/43%

Doh.

Laird’s fielding was in the wrong order, but that should be fairly obvious that he hasn’t committed 779 errors in 3 chances.

it’s much easier to watch a sport if you’ve played that sport for at least a season.

i wasn’t a huge baseball fan until about 5 years ago when i got to tech. i played on an intermural baseball team and fell in love. since then i’ve watched the tigers a lot and learned all about the game.

Tampa has not even been close stealing the last 2 games

The Tigers have had to wait for the runner to get there to make the tag

It’s looking that way. The six Rays runs all came off Armando, the bullpen has gone 4IP so far with just 2 hits and no runs.

poor Syracuse football lost today. I need a Tiger’s win to cheer me up, and to knock the Twins out to make up for losing to Minnesota

Fine by me

That way we don’t kill ourselves and outlaw someone from working tomorrow. As I see it, only Bondo would be unavailable tomorrow due to pitch restrictuon.

Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!

all righty then

time to beat up on their Pen some more

by murrajo on Sep 5, 2009 9:36 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Okay, if everybody's pitching

then it’s only fair that everybody bats this inning.

by NCDee on Sep 5, 2009 9:36 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Does Pena still have more home runs than singles?

I suppose I could look it up myself, but what would be the fun in that?

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
