At Detroit Tigers
When: 1:05 p.m.
Where: Joker Marchant Stadium, Lakeland, Fla.
Media: none in Michigan
Tigers pitching: Armando Galarraga gets the starting nod. Also scheduled to take the mound are Phil Dumatrait, Zach Miner, Daniel Schlereth, Josh Rainwater, Jacob Turner, Andy Oliver and Phil Coke.
Yankees pitching: Joba Chamberlain starting. Also pitching are Phil Hughes, Andrew Brackman, Jason Hirsch, D.J. Mitchell, Grant Duff and Wilkins Aria.
Tigers lineup: Jackson CF, Raburn RF, Strieby 1B, Cabrera DH, Guillen LF, Laird C, Larish 3B, Sizemore 2B, Everett SS (One half of today's storyline fell through. Jason Beck reports Johnny Damon is out with a sore left big toe)
Yankees lineup: (BYB hive mind comes through!) Granderson CF, N, Johnson DH, Teixeira 1B, Cano 2B, Thames RF, Gardner LF, Mi Rivera C, Jo Vazquez 3B, R Pena SS
Curtis Granderson and Marcus Thames should get a chance to see their former team when the Tigers and Yankees tangle for the first time this Grapefruit League season.
I don't think any of us are eager to see Grandy in pinstripes. It's going to be a melancholy afternoon.
Note from Big Al: By the way, if any of the hive mind here at BYB run into the Yankees starting lineup/batting order, please feel free to post it in the game thread. I've yet to come across it...

The only thing I could find was on Freep.com saying that Grandy was batting leadoff and playing center and that Thames was also in the lineup.

Sorry
You are right Don’t know what I was reading
no worries
on the + side, since it’s nearly impossible to follow this, you could write damn near anything and I’d believe it!!!
Granderson rips off Yankee jersey to reveal Tigers t-shirt on underneath
And it has to be true because no one can prove otherwise…

I agree
Especially since I am using a very old computer with no sound as my other one is getting fixed
I just like the thought that while it might be cold and rainy here in Milwaukee
Somewhere in this world, my Tigers are playing baseball.

Galarraga
From all reports, he pitched very well in the Venezuelan winter league, and was expected to do good things upon his return. Hasn’t been very good so far. I believe that it’s mainly a confidence thing with him. He needs to be aggressive as he was in 2008, attacking hitters. His upside is what we saw in 2008. I don’t think it gets any better than that for him, but that would be a huge, huge boost to the Tiger rotation if he could return to form. But then, the same could be said of Bonderman, or Robertson, or Willis, and I give them all about the same shot of being productive in 2009. No better than 50/ 50 for any of them.
Usually I feel like that
without the “fight” part

Am I to understand that Laird hit his granny?
Geez. Oh, and good form on the Coke jokes up above. I’m tardy to the party, so I missed out.
hey folks
checking in. G$ just hit a grand slam eh?
so what’s more surprising: his newfound power or dontrelle pitching effectively so far?
I Like Pie
Willis as long as he keeps it up
After all Llyod got brandon to hit to contact, at least compared to usual, last year.
the Tigers mobile site has play-by-play
I can’t link it from my phone, but the mobile mlb site is wap.mlb.com.
I’ve been following along there. Apologize if I’m telling you guys something you already know.

Beck's version
top prospect Jacob Turner loads bases on two walks and a hit batter but escapes by striking out Mark Teixeira. Still 6-3 mid 4th.
Laird grand slam
Turner K’s the side after loading up the bases with a pair of walks and an HBP. 6-3 Tigs.
OFFICIAL_TIGERS Solo home run for Ryan Raburn! Tigers extend the lead to 7-3 in the fourth inning
THE POWAH!!!
Joba got tuned up like a fiddle
I believe Hughes has seen some action. Did you know that you can’t say ‘Hughes’ in French because all of the letters are silent? True story.
From Mark Anderson (TigsTown) twitter
Text from a scout that just saw Jacob Turner in #Yankees-#Tigers game; That kid has filthy sh**! He’s going to be really, really good!
of course, but it comes from girls
girls don’t poop remember? the food just evaporates in their stomachs, unless they’re lindsay lohan. then it just comes back up whenever it’s convienent

My small dog ate a bag of about 20 cookies a few weeks ago
and I can confidently report that …yes, it is possible to do both at the same time.
did u hear she is suing etrade?
for 10 million. says the “milkaholic” baby in SuperBowl ad was a shot at her.
such total BS
i actually laughed at that commercial when it came out. and i didn’t get any impression of making fun of lindsay lohan from it until she sued.
I Like Pie
yeah me either
shes just trying to make some easy money. I really dont think anyone saw that and thought “Lindsey Lohan”
or easy publicity
I can’t imagine etrade is worried

Hola, mis amigos
I’ve been following the game from my iPod while I was out. Is it just me or is BYB being really, really slow right now?

ok just checking
was feeling kinda pathetic there for a minute. hasn’t really gotten better though, that could just be me.

hey
completely unrelated to the tigs, i see on your blog that you have fencing as an interest. http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com/ (everyone go there, she has some cool stuff) do you work out at a club in Toledo?
I have heard there is a fencing club somewhere in Toledo, but I'm not sure where
I haven’t had the chance to do a lot of fencing since I graduated from college. I’d love to get back into it if I had the money and time (which I don’t have a lot of, thanks to work and school).

my son has a club up here near Lansing, MI
that’s him, actually, in the picture next to me with the half-head.
when i first saw your name
i figured ‘sabre’ in conjunction with ‘tiger’ would also involve ‘toothed’. but it’s probably your preferred weapon, i assume.
That would be right
I’m actually better at epee and foil’s the one I’ve done the most of, but sabre’s my favorite.

Andrew Brackman now pitching for Yanks
college basketball fans will remember him as an excellent post player at NC State. he’s 6’11"
That'd make him the tallest player in MLB history
A distinction that now belongs to the Twinkies new closer- Jon Rauch at 6 foot 10
I think Todd Worrell was also six foot ten
alli tweets
Wells single moved Ramirez to third. Those were the first two scheduled hitters so 1st and 3rd with no one out
update
A pair of infield singles and a double play give the Tigers a run to take the lead 8-7 in the 7th.
here's how it happened
B:0 S:0 O:0 – Pitcher Change: Andrew Brackman replaces Jason Hirsh.
B:0 S:0 O:0 – Offensive Substitution: Pinch hitter Wilkin Ramirez replaces Miguel Cabrera.
B:0 S:0 O:0 – Wilkin Ramirez singles on a ground ball to third baseman Eduardo Nunez.

DET 8, NYY 7
B:0 S:0 O:2 – Audy Ciriaco hit by pitch.
B:0 S:3 O:3 – Brent Dlugach called out on strikes.
Alli having as much trouble keeping up as we are I guess
from her twitter: “Score 8-7 tigs. Some yankee just hit a 2 out single”

CF Kelly
RF Boesch
1B Strieby
DH Ramirez
LF Wells
C Rabelo
3B Ciriaco
2B Dlugach
SS Nunez
I’d like to see Dlugach at SS more often.
Like 80 games this year!
Wells in LF and Kelly in CF?
Kelly’s getting a hard look, here, but I doubt you see this alignment during the season

Pitching lines
Galarraga, 2 IP, 2 runs, 3 hits, 2 BB, no K’s
Coke, 1 inning, 1 run, 1 hit (homer), no BB, no K, one error (his fielding E)
Turner, 1 inning, struck out the side, 2 BB’s
Miner, 1 inning, 2 runs, 2 hits, one BB, one double
Schlereth, 1.2 innings, 2 runs, 4 hits, one K, no BB’s
Dumatrait, 2.1 innings, 2 runs, 4 hits, one homer, 2 K’s, no BB’s
Geez, Turner is the only one who escaped unscathed
Still, I’m satisfied with Armando’s performance considering I didn’t think it was a good matchup.
And maybe I’m wrong, but has Zach Miner given up exactly two runs in every outing he’s had?
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 10, 2010 4:17 PM EST up reply actions
Hence the caveat of "I didn't think it was a good matchup"
I’d have to be able to see him to make any further assessment.
by SabreRoseTiger on Mar 10, 2010 4:21 PM EST up reply actions
true enough
tough to tell exactly how he was pitching my reading updates from the mobile site. the results probably don’t matter much right now anyway
definitely the B squad as far as pitchers go
too bad Figaro pitched yesterday, he would have fit right in
Figaro is a pitcher that you put in for game 161
with the entire season on the line
even if he hadn’t started a game in three months
at any level
and wasn’t called up with the kids in September
and had to be recalled from the DR, cuz he went home
injured
but hey, gotta give those guys five days rest!
Is anyone else

for anyone looking for live ball on TV
you have the Oriole vs the Pirates at 7 on MLB network
