Game 96 Overflow: A's at Tigers

PrintTigers News: 3rd round pick Aaron Westlake signed today.
What went down so far for those just tuning in:
- Lots of nothing through the first 3+ innings (a.k.a. I wasn't here)
- Scott Sizemore took a Porcello fastball to the face and left the game. X-rays were negative.
- Victor Martinez scored on arguably the most entertaining play of the season via a Carlos Guillen triple
- The A's touched up Rick Porcello for 3 runs in the top of the 5th on a bunch of fairly weak ground balls between 1st and 2nd.
- The Tigers scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 5th. RBIs came from Magglio Ordonez, Miguel Cabrera (2), Jhonny Peralta and Guillen (2).
Topics from the previous thread:
- The temperature in the UP
- How much we hate discussing past trades, and MLive commenters in general
- Chris Osgood's retirement and how we're not going to talk about it anymore
- Whether the mods should be listed on the bottom of the site
- The merits of choosing the New York Jets as one of your favorite football teams
- David's blood pressure
- Boomsticks

Second-half history suggests that's a bad idea.
2009 1st half: .269/.346/.496/.842
2009 2nd half: 310/.369/.563/.933
2010 1st half: .208/.287/.350/.637
2010 2nd half: .315/.366/.534/.900
2011 1st half: .213/.248/.360/.609
2011 2nd half: TBD

For his lack of range, Carlos does have excellent arm strength. A SS’s arm at 2B has its advantages.

By the way, I’m reasonably certain that one of the scouts watching Oliver, Furbush, and Hoffman on Sunday night was from the Arizona Diamondbacks. I took a picture of him, and I noticed that he was wearing a D-Backs lanyard.

And I see Leyland and Lamont walking together to the restaurant next to the one I’m at. Being a smartass, I pull out my phone and tweet:
In Birmingham for dinner. Leyland and Lamont walking down sidewalk. Leyland’s smoking, Lamont gazing at stop signs.
I would like to now apologize to Lamont for that cheap joke, he made a good call sending Ajax there.
no need to apologize
he’s already made a terrible call tonight, albeit one that lead to an awesome moment.

Yeah. considering they're flying up the standings and catching up
Scared of the Twins again, typical 2nd half run =/
That's really more of a myth than anything else
if they lose tonight, they’ll still be 8 games back, exactly where they were a month ago. That’s not exactly storming to first place.
Whatever, I don't care
If Cleveland wins, Minny falls further behind. The Tigers aren’t winning anything if they can’t beat Cleveland anyway.
Almost rather have the Indians win
and hope we handle our business against them head-to-head. Last thing I want is another Twins run.

I don't know whether to root for the pirates or not
I lean toward not, I’d like to see the Brewers win. Also I worked for Ogden Publishing, which is owned by Bob Nutting, who owns the Pirates. So on one hand, I feel sorry for them for being owned by that guy. On the other hand, I don’t want him to have a team to enjoy. In fact I kind of root for a meteor if he ever attends their games.

Incredibly off topic too, but BTW, how did your salmon/beef mix burger work out?

It was good, but not miraculous.
The smoked salmon didn’t benefit at all from being cooked along with the beef. I might try again but as a separate layer next time. And the lemon-pepper mayo on it was a total win.
I posited the question a few gametheads ago.
was making a burger, had some smoked salmon that needed to be used.

Probably. He's a competent defender.
Although, Wells is better.

Dirks should be the one going...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Below go back down after a start or two
With Casper coming back up

OFFICIAL_TIGERSTigers have optioned Wilk and Wells to Toledo. Below and Furbush will be recalled from Toledo on Wednesday. #tigers
CASPER NOOO

Leyland agrees:
ChrisVannini: Below, Furbush up, Wilk, Wells down. Leyland on Wells going down. “It’s a crying shame.”

I guess, but since you don't know how Below will do, it might not be such a bad idea to have an extra reliever

My point is that somebody might go after a day or two
And Wells could be back up.

it's all about money, remember
or else he’d be riding the pine in Mud Hens dugout. Heard that here somewhere.
I heard he retired
wait, no, that was Osgood. I can’t keep the fangirls straight anymore.

Casper will be back soon
6 weeks until September call-ups.
It seems silly to burn an option though
by Rob Rogacki on Jul 19, 2011 10:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Leyland said he's a lock to come back in September
by Keith-Allen on Jul 19, 2011 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions
An option gets burned if he's down for > 20 days
And he has to stay for at least 10
by Rob Rogacki on Jul 19, 2011 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions
So he'll be back when Carlos goes on the 15 day DL?

Twins-Indians is getting interesting
Twins have runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in bottom of the 9th. Thome up.
and a pinch runner
Valencia at the plate with bases loaded

There was no way he could have dove…He took a line to cut the ball off—not to catch it.

Maybe this will be a watershed moment for the Tribe
they’ve been winning games like this all year. But be careful what you wish for—seeing the Twins win a walk-off is ominous.
