PrintDetroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals, Sep 9, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (16-7, 3.29) vs. 
Robinson Tejada (1-1, 3.61), 8:10 p.m. EST
The Tigers had their six-game winning streak broken by the Royals last night (blowing a three-run lead in the process). Can they get a new streak going with their ace taking the mound?
Justin Verlander has won his past three starts, the last two of which were victories over the Tampa Bay Rays and Jeff Niemann. His last start was particularly dominant, as he held the Rays to one run and four hits over eight innings, while the Tigers' lineup finally mounted some offense against the Tampa bullpen. A win tonight would give him the American League lead in that category, and might further build his case for the AL Cy Young Award.
Robinson Tejada fills Gil Meche's turn in the Royals' rotation, as he's getting a rest for shoulder fatigue. Tejada was outstanding in his last start, allowing just one hit in 5.1 innings, with six strikeouts and two walks. He hasn't given up a run in 13 straight innings, allowing only two hits during that span. Tejada has faced the Tigers twice this season, both times in relief. In 1.1 innings, Detroit got two runs and three hits against him.
Clete Thomas gets the start in right field, giving Magglio Ordonez the night off. Kind of a curious decision, as Maggs is 2-for-4 against Tejada. Could Jim Leyland be putting Clete out there to forget about not getting to that foul ball last night?

Predicting that detroit would lose the next four, the sox would lose the next four, and that the sox would have us right where they want us. Typical claseless sox stuff. Can you imagine dd or epstein or even beane being such an ass?

I'm guessing Kenny
is counting on Alex Rios to hit about .450 over the rest of the season and he is probably hoping Freddy Garcia gives him a sub 2 era. Even if both those things happen he is still forgetting how many games there bullpen is going to cough up.
I have a white sox friend too, he says their done!

Correction:
Verlander can’t tie the major league lead in wins tonight. Adam Wainwright won #18 today.

totally hotdogging it in CF and missing the ball

Good evening
Just got home from work. Dan and Jim were saying that the Royals have hit a lot of balls hard off Verlander tonight. Is that true? They are also marvelling at Tejeda’s command, which is uncharacteristic. How does one combat that?
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
put the bat on the ball in a centered orientation
but that’s only theory, so far no one has been able to do it outside of the lab
WTF?
How does Carl Pavano outduel Roy Halladay?

Ask the Tigers
they know the secret of making Carl Pavano look like an all star

Pavano has gotten the better of Verlander...
…but Verlander pitched horribly in that start. It’s not like JV lost 1-0.
And the Blue Jays have a better offense than the Tigers.

Pavano's 11-11, but 4 of those wins are against the Tigers
It’s not only one time I’m thinking of when I talk about Pavano

I know
I was just trying to draw the parallel with Pavano outdueling Roy Halladay. The other three wins came at the expense of Galarraga, and as I’m the only one remaining around here who still thinks highly of Galarraga, it doesn’t make for a very good comparison.

only the 4th inning, 5 more chances to take him down and out

Yeah but JV's only struck out four and he's thrown a ton of pitches
Tejeda has struck out seven. Contrary to popular belief, our offense IS better than Kansas City’s.

…but the media coverage on this seems rather excessive. If it was anyone on any other team, they wouldn’t be getting nearly the amount of press.

he shut out the angels for 5+ in his only start of the season,
and before that, he gave up 1 run in 14 innings of work in August. Not too shabby.
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Can I ask a question?
How do you know if the problem is that the pitcher is really on his game and hitting his spots or that your hitters are getting themselves out?
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
You don't
I guess if you’re a really adept scout.
President, Vice President and Secretary of the Casey Crosby Fanclub.
hitters getting themselves out
if this wasn’t a common event I might give them the benefit of the doubt…
The Rays are doing their now customary late inning choke job
They had a double play set up, and threw the ball into left field

Hi all
just tuned in to see the G$ steal a base with his overwhelming speed. I am, however, very disheartened by the score.
JV's lucky he hasn't given up more runs

It's only 1 run in the 5th

I'm finding that
a road sweep of a good Rays team is better than losing two to the Royals and there is still tomorrow with two more outs left in this game to come back
So with the exception of Galarraga and Rodney...
Our pitching was really, really good against the Rays. Now our pitching sucks against the Royals. This does not make sense.

Tigers pitching has given up 12 runs in this series so far...
This is a problem. The offense was fine last night, not so good tonight, but the pitching was bad both nights.
But in terms of Verlander losing to Tejeda? Hey, Pavano beat Halladay.
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
Sigh
That was just plain bad, what I saw of it anyway. Now I have to go do homework. I’m not sure whether that is more or less fun than watching what the Tigers just did. I’ll let you know.

at least we didn't get shut out
I’ve said it before, that was one of the most disheartening things from last year, the fact that not only were we losing, we kept getting shut out over and over.
That single run, in the long run, won’t mean much, but it’s something. And since it was a night that the offense had nothing to offer, you take the wins where you can.
We all would have taken 6-2 in September so far, and the way we got it, essentially stealing three from Tampa’s bullpen, I’m willing to overlook these two games. More or less…
