BASEBALL I went to a baseball game. The only RBI’s from the Tigers came from Brennan Boesch and Delmon Young. Really. Boesch hit a line drive that just cleared the fence in dead center. Young hit a 1-2 pitch outside the strike zone into the Tigers pen for a three run homer. Verlander started for […]
MoreBASEBALL Briefly- Scherzer pitched 8 scoreless and the Tigers won 5-1. Avisail Garcia walked and hit an RBI single in his first full game in the major leagues. The Tigers drew within one game of the Central Division leading White Sox. The White Sox are 1-7 in Detroit and 4-9 overall versus Detroit this year.
MoreBASEBALL I write on my phone since my computer is currently showing the Mud Hens game, where Andy Dirks is rehabilitating. Not much happened outside of the game at the game. But, it was eventful. Jacob Turner pitch adequately for 5.1 innings and earned his first MLB win. Chicago’s Humber gave up 4 home runs […]
MoreBASEBALL The Tigers won 4-2 over the White Sox today to move withing half a game of first place. The Tigers had 5 of their 10 hits in the third which allowed them to score 3 times. Verlander allowed 2 of his 4 hits in the third also which was when the Sox scored. Quintin […]
MoreBASEBALL We went to on-field phot day. I got good pictures of the kids with McClendon, Boesch, Laird, Cabrera, Elmon, Jackson, Dotel, Kelly and Smyly. The game was an odd one. The Tigers had stranded 12 runners when I quit counting. The only runs in the 3-1 victory came from home runs by Dunn, Jackson […]
MoreBASEBALL This game changed from a matinee to an 8:10 start to accomodate ESPN. We arrived at gate opening and tried our luck at Radio Disney, winning only a couple drawstring bags. Then we tried our luck getting the StubHub Ultimate Seats. We found the person giving them out. We must not fit the demographic […]
MoreBASEBALL I tracked the record of the AL Central teams from the zenith of Cleveland’s season until now. This grid has all sorts of fairness problems. For instance, the schedule over a subset of the season is even more unbalanced than over an entire season. Obviously this is particulartly mis-representative for Cleveland as I picked […]
MoreBASEBALL Teahen’s Defense This was a crisply played 2:04 game that the Tigers won 5-1. In the fourth inning third baseman Mark Teahen threw an inning ending double play ball to third into right field. The Tigers went on to score four runs that inning. An injury to Beckham moved Vizquel to second and required […]
MoreBASEBALL The Pen is Mightier than . . . Oh Who Am I Kidding Scherzer pitched 7.1 innings allowing three four runs. Unfortunately he left a runner on base that Perry allowed to score after a stolen base and a single. Then Valverde gave up a run in the tenth as the Tigers fell to […]
MoreBASEBALL Galarraga was Galarraga and walked four while striking out one and giving up two home runs. Somehome he made it 7 2/3 innings though while giving up just four runs. Unfortunately the Tigers only scored one run on ten hits. Brandon Inge had two singles and a fly out to near the warning track […]
