Have you had your fill of college football for the day? Did you watch any? (I didn't.) Time for baseball.
Note from Al: //Raises hand// Did I have my fill? Oh, Hell no! Did I watch? YES! I'm a red-blooded American male who likes his football...though I love baseball too. Don't judge me!
Jim Leyland says momentum is only as good as the next day's pitcher. Rick Porcello has been pretty good in his last two starts, having allowed no runs and one run in those games, so let's see if he can keep it going. ... But he has a 6.12 ERA and 2-6 record in 10 games on the road (the team went 3-7). So something's going to give.
Looking over the Tigers' game notes, here's an interesting one: The last time the Tigers rallied from four-runs down in back-to-back games (as they did Thursday and Friday) came July 13-14, 2006. (They credit STATS Inc as the source.) Also, last night's game was the third extra-inning game in a row. The last time the Tigers did that was July 11-16, 1976.
More stuff from the notes?
How hot is Ryan Raburn? He is hitting .340 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI in his last 27 games.
Will Rhymes ranks third among American League rookies in batting average after the All-Star Break, with .310. He's hit safely in 14 of 15 games now. A little research of my own to add: Austin Jackson is hitting .313 with a .792 OPS after the break. Brennan Boesch is hitting .156 with a .452 OPS ... making him the worst Tigers batter since the break. Ouch.
Lineups:
Detroit -- Jackson 8, Damon DH, Raburn 7, Cabrera 3, Peralta 6, Inge 5, Wells 9, St. Pierre 2, Rhymes 4.
KC -- Blanco 8, Maier 9, Butler 3, Kila DH, Fields 5, Gordon 7, May 2, Getz 4, Betancourt 6

i didn't watch any football today
couldn’t find the michigan state game on TV.
also, excited for st. pierre’s start tonight. let’s see if the guy can play.

I don't watch football
I’ll occasionally tune in to part of the Ohio State-Michigan game (and I’ll take part in Border Battle day by wearing a jersey), and I’ll check a score every once in a while, but that’s it. Baseball is my life, pretty much.

I don't watch football either
But my dad does. I understand the game but I just can’t get into it. My dad always talks to me about baseball even though he doesn’t really get into it, so I offer the same courtesy and talk to him about U of M football and I do own some U of M gear, but it’s not a must for me. Now if we’re talking baseball and especially Tigers, that’s a totally different story

Watched football
Nice to get back to the Saturday routine of lots of college football. Wish my Broncos were more competitive.
football is boring
College football is a method of manipulating the alumni into opening their wallets. :D
With Max and Will Rhymes and the other young guys, I don’t think any other team has as many feel-good warm fuzzy stories as the Tigers. :)
I love these guys.

You know what would make football fun?
if they didn’t stop all the time.
Here’s my plan: Begin with Aussie Rules football, and then take away all the confusing shit. You can run it, you can pass it, you get tackled you give up the ball. Run through the scoring area, get 6 points. Kick it, get 2.
… I may have described rugby. But I don’t know.
Can we all just agree we’d be better off if America turned its obsession to lacrosse?
I don't really get lacrosse
But it is fascinating to watch.

of course we watched some football
UM is getting better – Rich Rod. had them in a bad place and turned a lot of people off, but the true fans hang in there for their team.
Lions will be better too.
Most follow more than one sport (GO RED WINGS), but if your sample size is taken from the friendly folks at a baseball blog, you are liable to find the ones who concentrate on baseball.
(MSU or UM beating Notre Dame, for instance, is just as much fun as the Tigers beating the NYY.)

and they traded him for Rusty Staub at just the right time
McLain and Lolich both brought a nice return in trades.

AAAHHH
Worked out well. The Schatzeder trade, not so much. Although, Ronnie never really was the same after he left Detroit.
He was a .300 hitter for the Tigers, but not nearly as good after he left
He stole 97 bases with the Expos, though. He didn’t like being moved to LF because they had Andre Dawson in CF and Ellis Valentine in RF. Pretty good outfield.
If you survived 2003, you can get through this!
I was at the Stadium one day
when he hit an inside tha parker. ANother time on TV I remember he was off 2nd on a chopper to the 3rd baseman. He froze him for a moment. The throw went to 1st. Ronnie took off. By the time the throw went back to 3rd, it was not even close. Ronnie was in easy.
Best speed I can recall in a Tiger.
I remember so well
Leflore would get on first, steal second, and Staub would get him home with a sacrifice or a hit. No wonder Rusty had such great numbers in Detroit.
I'm sitting in the CF bleachers one game vs the Black Sox
Rusty doubles, and Jason Thompson comes up
They’re gonna intentionally walk him
Rusty steals third base on ball four
The place was in hysterics! Rusty was high steppin it into third, and they had no clue

AJ should have
100 runs before it ias all said & done. They have the same OPS. AJ is a solid CF. BB, ahh, not so much. I take a guy who has done it from April to October, over a guy who flashed then flushed.
Boesch and AJax are the only rookies in the AL qualified for the batting title
If you survived 2003, you can get through this!
my handicapping, fwiw
is that Feliz doesn’t have gaudy enough stats to get the vote as a reliever. his strikeouts and ERA are no where near the previous few reliever rookies, and I’m not sure they’d give it to relievers in back to back years frankly.
So I think Jackson get it.

Wow! I refreshed and the image is gone from my screen, too.
I pasted a link, but when I click the link, it says ’referral denied"

If you survived 2003, you can get through this!
I think I posted an illegal image somehow.
But it was on my screen when I first posted it.

He can't be 5'9"

Jim just said he thinks it's a "hot gun"
